Assassin Bow :3

[Desertus]

I can finally do a bow build :3

What is so special about Assassin Bow?

I might create ranged character for the very first time in a Souls-like game but my initial idea is crossbow build.

Would quality bow, ie. scaling with both STR and AGI be eventually stronger, as you can easily hit 75 in AGI so adding points to STR might be be better damage-wise.

If you want to use a crossbow then you should get edict's aim as it is a quality crossbow it gets a B in both strength and agility as all of the bows scale a lot higher with agility i.e Assassin Bow gets an A+ in agility.

Just to clarify, I'm asking why Assassin Bow over any other bow? Is it just for its A+ scaling at +10?

Based on my experience with melee weapons, any weapon with quality scaling will be stronger than any weapon with single scaling even if it is A+ and the quality weapon is just B+ in both.

None of the bows scale equally with strength and agility they all scale with agility which in turn since the assassin bow gets an A+ (because it only requires agility) it has the highest raw damage some of the bows get a D+ in strength maxed out which wouldn't increase the damage by that much, With that being said there are other bows that get an A in scaling for agility but if your trying to maximize your damage edicts aim is the best ranged weapon for a quality build as it uses and requires both stats.

For a bow only run i traded and used a Bow of the Mutilated, ammo was a pain but after upgrades its damage made it a very fun run, as far as i can tell all bows have same reload speed, just scaling and bonus to arrow type, except Bow of the Convert shows effects, little i used it i didn't notice them kicking in, will have to try it again.

I was lied to by fextra there is a quality bow they got the scaling for +10 on it wrong, The udirangr bow IS a quality bow at +10 it has B- in agility and strength and if you use cinder arrows with it you can proc ignite so there you go :).
