Bow vs Crossbow

Post by GenghisXerxes »

which is better for 1v1?
If a bow guy duels a crossbow guy, assuming both similar skill and build, who has greater advantage to win the duel?

RNG. Bow running shot more hits. Crossbow hard hits and better chance to drop but the bow can turn it around fast. RNG is the winner.

I think the guys who duels with bows its bc they have alchemyst, and they hit you, at 50-40 % hp, stun, conflag/explo pots and you died, i always duel with crossbow, less range, but bits harder bc i dont have alchy :)

2 archers should never die to each other if only using one bow ... for example .. if your guild tag says [Loop] at approx 60% health they will be running away and with no moving shot both your xbow and reg bow will be irrelevant ..

Ping is a decisive factor for choose a weapon. Using cool strategy and <100 ping xbow can be a good weapon vs mages. But ping >100 is impossible run to kill without paralyzeblow, your enemy can teleport for away easily.

UO can be a different game if u have high or low ping.
All Brazilians players have 150+ ping (250+ is regular), i dont believe other nation play with similar ping.

Pure luck. Same as with hml or hld /spell - u can 3 hit or miss so it takes longer = need more mana ;p
U can hit , mortal ,concl - dead /another shot to finish with xbow. With bow will take more time :P

Alchey archers with para and conflag then next would be xbow with a composite bow waiting for moving shots,, actually if you can shoot a composite bow super fast and keep mana it can do damage faster than their bandies can heal
