Titanstring Bow with 20 DEX and the Club Of Hill Giant Strength is incredibly strong. You can get this very early in the game and it will pretty much carry you through the entirety of the rest.

Another alternative are dual-crossbows accompanied with 20 DEX, along with the Risky Ring (ACT 2) and Sharpshooter trait. The ring grants you Advantage on attacks, making it impossible for you to miss.

If you are a Ranger who is multiclassing into Rogue, you can trigger Sneak Attack easily without even thinking about it and do over 90 damage per turn without any issues.

I haven't tried it, but pre 4.0 patch, everyone got an additional attack after attacking out of combat, but that should have only be available for the assassin subclass. I don't know if they fixed the assassin now, at least you don't get an additional attack anymore with any other class unless you have bloodlust elixir and kill the enemy.

Bloodlust also give a single attack now.

It depends 100% on the build, these types of questions really shows when someone doesn’t know that game…

A gloom/ thief or something similar will fire 2 extra shots with the off hand crossbow and deal a lot of extra damage.

But so would someone with titanstring and cloud giant elixir.

There is no “better “ weapon for honor mode, you just build around whatever weapon you like more

You are infact correct
I apologize for the misinformation, seems like some DRS slipped trough the cracks, because the intention was definitely to remove all of em.

If you're using a Bard then I'd say use whatever but get the hat of arcane acuity and then arrows of many targets are your friends. You just use the arrow of many targets and then can cc at will!!! You still cause damage with whatever weapon you're using but you control the battlefield

Add the Band of the Mystic Scoundrel ring for an illusion/enchantment spell used as a bonus action

Tested it myself too, on my own companions. Hardest part was getting them to fail the dex save for the ele arrows xd
