DnD: Repeater Vs Longbow

A little test on how fast the Repeater really fires, i trust you will find the results quite intresting.

quick question what class r u and what is ur feat build if u dont mind.

i was thinking of doing a lv 12 rogue that was going down the path for traps, lv 2 fighter for feats and the ability to use mithril fullplate of twilight, and lv 6 wizzard for some utility spells since the toon would have a decent int. reason bhined the rogue though is because it gives free profeciency in both light and heavy crossbow and allows to add ur int bonus to it.

[chriscos123]

Lol my bow fires 2 arrows a second.

Manyshot + slaying arrows = best class in ddo

@timdobb Actually, now there's a whole class built around the repeating crossbow, the Artificer.It's basically a balanced mix of Rogue and Wizard, plus they get an Iron Defender that will act similar to a hireling that you always have, stays the same level as you, and is actually competent most of the time.Trap sensing and disarming, spells for buffing, including spells that change and augment your armor and weapons, 3 free exotic profeciencies, pure awesomeness.

manyshot + bow strength = gg

[timdobb]

Repeater are a total failure unless used with a rogue mechanic

[paladinartea]

What's the speed diff if you don't have rapid reload out of curiosity?

[MagicWoodsman]

only thing is, manyshot outwieghs lost shots, str dmg bonus helps archers too, and there are items and item sets and te ranger capstone that let rangers shoot faster, and on top of all that, slaying arrows, 500 dmg a pop, yea aa is better dps

@aMammimi *repeating crossbow*

[MrTubeandWatch]

Rogue with sneak attack and tumble to flank+repeating crossbow=can kill anything up to lv 5. When ranger gets lv 6 many-shot it's game over :(
