Quote:I'm not so impressed with the 163 Str requirement of a Colossus Crossbow. -53 Dex is quite a bit of lost damage.
excactly ! :rolleyes:
The buriza doesn't becomes that much better even without the dex loss. A total off 25% more damage for a really high lvl character ! But More for a lower level. ( increase ends going from 250 to 310 on estimate, so the 60 avarage is more significant with a low level character, if lvl 56 can be called low it would net around 38% total damage increase).
Taking the dex loss into account also, makes it a rather low damage increase, depending on the build (skill use and dexs). A low level character suffer relative more from the strenght requirements than a high. the dex loss means between 7 to 20 % total damage loss for most builds.
A high level low dex build ( and loosing 53 points) would actual gain very little from the use off quite a few bowskills with an elite buriza! :unsure:
To me it looks like a lot off the other bows are clossing in on the buriza with this recipe! ( clossing the gab!)
As quite a few off them improve drasticly
we would properly see the amazon basin friends with a new list of best bows in the game very soon. But a list where the buriza doesn't shine as the only bright star, as a lot off the other bows are up there! (no need for mention the sun right ?)
