Skilling up ranged weapons. - playingtokrush - 04-17-2005 My friend recorded some numbers and made a post in the WoW forums about skilling up ranged weapons. I thought I'd post them here since he went to quite a bit of trouble and some might find the results interesting. Quote:I have an irrational need to max all of my character's skills. Something about seeing 300, or 305's across the board keeps me content. So why does it take such an insane amout to skill up my bow?

If you are a Hunter you use ranged as a primary, so one empty quiver of arrows later you are 300. You would go through that in an instance run at level 60 and not even notice. Getting the skill from 295 to 300 will happen and the difference in crits and dps would be slight. If you are not a hunter, then you probably use it as an attention getter rather than needing any sustained DPS, so a skill of 5 or 300 is equally effective in pulling a mob. If you miss, they still come. Getting 300 for this use is just a completion thing, like getting 300 in fishing. If you are a custom hybrid that wants to use some form of rooting and ranged dps, then you will bear the burden of difficulty with the grace of a deviant. :-) Skilling up ranged weapons. - Concillian - 04-19-2005 playingtokrush,Apr 16 2005, 06:50 PM Wrote:My friend recorded some numbers and made a post in the WoW forums about skilling up ranged weapons.

Ah but the real question any true Lurker would strive to answer is: How does intelligence affect those numbers? :D Skilling up ranged weapons. - playingtokrush - 04-19-2005 Concillian,Apr 19 2005, 11:34 AM Wrote:Ah but the real question any true Lurker would strive to answer is:That would be much more difficult to test. It'd probably be easiest testing it on two identical lowbie characters: one with an Arcane Intellect buff and one without. But just from experience I can answer that question with "not very noticeably." A mage with 400 intellect doesn't seem to have a much easier time building weapon skill than a rogue with 30.

A Priest with 300 spirit doesn't regenerate HP 10 times faster than a Warrior with 30 spirit, does he? In fact, he regens considerably slower.
