*sigh* The lil Dwarf needs weapon advice... - General Hunter Discussion - Hunter Forums

So after not trying to bother using spreadsheeets n such because they scare me I ask a simple question.

Do I, as a short but sexy dwarf hunter with the 1% gun crit use the Extreme Impact Hole Puncher or the Lava Bolt XBow?

I sure as hell won't be picking up the decent PvP gun anytime soon and I refuse to surrender my short status.

Drach, this is me Agio, I can't use any  ranged weapon adequately so I'll ignore the racial slur and ask you to please elucidate (you can Google the word) your statement. I have never understood why there are guns, choppers, flying rockets and such in the game. This is a matter best taken up with Blizzard as is why a crossbow sounds like a gun.

Tak n Oz, it 'seems' to me that the Xbow surpasses the gun even with the racial bonus as well. After gemming the gun you have a +6 Agi and +10 crit on the gun which is, it seems to me, totally blown away by the ranged damage on the XBow-especially the min/max ranged. 

If I knew or could find how in the fk to calculate that 1% I'd be happy. These XBows on my server are still stupidly overpriced even for a gem selling gold makin machine such as yours truly. Well even that biz kinda sucks now. So before I drop the loot I wanna make sure it'll be an increase worth the outlay. I mean my hunter prowessness can only overcome so much yanno?

I will not succumb to the gotta be a Worgen to be an alliance hunter. Worgens irritate me.  I wanna be an Orc…

Agio,

As you are these days exploring the abundantly fantastic world of PvP, the odd percent of dps here or there is not as important as it is if you were raiding.

Were I a dwarf I'd stick with the gun. Guns are cool. They make loud noises and scare the bejeesus out of critters, and rogues. Any old elf or troll can tie a string to a stick to make it bend. There's no fun in that. They're so quiet!

BANG!

"Ahhhghhh…"

LOL… It never gets old.

And if you want to maintain your "close to the ground" view of the world, you could do worse than being a goblin. As a goblin you get to fire rockets! And fly through the air – thanks to your jet boots. They're not really loud enough, but you can use Power Auras spell alert to give it a kickass sound! I do! (Should hear my Kill Shots! It's a rocket with an explosion… nice and LOUD!)

Cheers,

D

Agio, my dear, dear, mediocre friend… I think you have taketh my post too seriously.

Stats, schmatz!

My whole point was not to improve your killing ability, but to look good, and be way damn cool doing it.

Cool as,

D
