The problem arises from the fact that archery has <b>no minimum damage</b> like primary hand melee.

How can Archery be made a valid form of attack? Quite simple.. use 2h weapon damage calculations (Using Dex instead of Str.)

Give bows ratios similar to equivlent level 2h melee weapons.

Make arrows non-depleting, or cheap and easy to aquire. Other options would be to make arrows salvagable, with a 1 in 3 chance of an arrow being found on the mob it was shot at.


For Rangers in EQLive , Archery is actually a valid form of attack now. Although, some conditions must be met. The ranger must have a decent bow, and good skill level. The ranger must be level 59, and have Alternative Advancement points spent on Archery Mastery 3(Improves damage by 100%), and Endless Quiver(Causes arrows to not be consumed). Against a Non-rooted, stationary mob, using the Trueshot Discipline, a ranger can get 300DPS against Raid mobs. Without Trueshot, they can do on average, the same or a bit less than melee damage.
