New Trial Bows

I havent seen the new bows updated on wiki or anywhere else. Does someone have a link to it or can show me what the new last versions of the bows are?

Max DMG trials will end with an un-augmented Gandiva or Harrier (DMG:89 or DMG:84).

Occ.Atk.X trials will end with some aug'd variant of the Condor. I'm not sure if anyone's obtained the double-damage one to know how that works, but I'd guess it works similar to relics (i.e. low proc rate, works on Barrage but not WSs; someone correct me if I am wrong)...
DMG:37+35 Delay:540+60 Occ.Atk.Twice
DMG:37 Delay:540+60 Occ.Atk.2~3Times
DMG:37+44 Delay:540 Occasionally Deals Double Damage
(I'm not 100% sure if the last one's +DMG is correct, but it's close)

Elemental Trials will end with an aug'd variant of the Bateleur. You can gather the end result by comparing the trials from other weapons reported on wiki. The only ones most rangers would bother to look at are...
DMG:80 Delay:540 STR+6 R.Atk+16
DMG:80 Delay:540 AGI+6 R.Acc+16

Weaponskill Trials will end with an aug'd variant of the Sparrowhawk.
DMG:60+21 Empyreal Arrow DMG+10%
DMG:60+18 Store TP+8

Whoops, listed my Bateleur delay wrong (524 instead of my listed 540) and forgot to include the delay on the Sparrowhawk details (also 524). I'd edit, but it looks like you can't edit on anon accounts.

I'm not enough of a pro ranger to suggest one bow over another, so I'll leave that to the more knowledgeable folks. Of course, in the end it all depends on what you're capable of completing.

No, the way the OAT guns and bows work is it literally fires two shots at once, consumes two units of ammo. Not sure about WS or Barrage, however.

As far as I know, it doesn't proc in barrage, but it can prroc on WS's.

I realize that is how the OAT bows work, however with the most recent version update, there is one that reads "Occ. Deals Dbl. Dmg." rather than "Occ. Atk. X Times", or at least that's what the Marksmanship Trials say on wiki. That is the one I was referring to with my extra comment earlier; sorry if that was unclear. I'm not sure if anyone has obtained the gun or bow of that type to test whether it functions like the OAT bow/gun or not, but I would imagine not since it has higher damage and is easier to get.

As far as the OAT bows/guns are concerned, I don't think anyone has done definitive tests as far as Barrage is concerned, but I'm pretty sure it can't proc in WS.

It can proc on WS? Nevermind on what I said then; I haven't read up on them much.

OAT cannot proc on WS's or barrage.

OAT cannot however ODD(Occasionally deals double damage) can. Only on Barrage though if I'm not mistaken.

DMG:37+45 Delay:540 Occasionally Deals Double Damage

What would be the best bow to work on then?

I'd say Gandiva, OATwice, or ODD bow. If all of those are out of your scope, I'd just try to get a Siege Bow. Siege Bow is all I'm going to bother going after for Ranger.

It would break down something like this


Gandiva is the most powerful for sw
OAT is best for dot and tp speed
ODD (if procs on ws and or barrage) will be a DoT beast if the proc rate is high enough. you would need something like 45-50%.

It's probably 7% just like the other weapons that take that path, but they didn't want to label it "Double Attack" since that trait doesn't apply to ranged in general.

no they labeled it Occasionally deals double damage because thats what it does. It doesnt give you extra tp when the dmg procs ergo, not a double attack. see: Yoichi/Annihilator, but if the proc rate is as low as the reilc rate, then OAT and Gandiva will beat it out.
