It's finally been tested and proven. Well, that was fun for a week, but the conclusive proof is here. Technolink and I tested this out, he's using one of my mules. Here goes! The Mighty Stone Mask HP: 600. Defence: 35. I should be able to 1hko them with a damage range of 399~662, right? Well, given that damage range is only attainable with Attack Arrows. My damage range WITHOUT attack arrows is 350~582. So, hypothetically, if Soul Arrow works with Attack Arrows, I should be able to 1hko them at LEAST some of the time with a normal attack, right? Here, I'm dealing over 600 damage. That evil masked beast SHOULD be dead, right? Well, that's what my friend's here for, he can watch and see if it's really dead. I'll have him Screenshot that attack, see what happens. Is it dead? Nope. But wait! I dealt 6xx damage! Why does it show me dealing less? What a confusing one...Let's go to some zero defence monsters shall we? Lets see what damage I'm doing. Aha! That's well within my damage range! Didjya get that Techno? Nope. Whaaaaat? Well that's a tricky one. If you still aren't convinced, I also took these: Wife's Damage range without Attack Arrows Wife's Damage range with Attack Arrows Her Screen My Screen Conclusion Soul Arrow now stacks with Attack Arrows on a client sided basis. Meaning, your damage range goes up, and the damage you see being dealt goes up, but the damage that monsters take, and that other people see does not. Sell your arrows people, they're still useless. Unless you want to show off to your RL friends, or something. Myth Busted

Wheres the all of the above option? Nexon either messed up, or just likes screwing with the archer class.

Before, attack arrows simply made your ability windows damage range go up falsely, but now they even make your VISIBLE damage falsely higher. This is, infact, worse. Now you can't even carry attack arrows around, unless you want to be seeing false damage all the time (I know that'll annoy me).
