so if someone were working on a bow and they end up with 9% critical rate and 6% total dmg + some third crap stat... would i tbe worth cubing for a 20 or 30% boss dmg stat? the bow has 3 potential lines. just trying to fgure this out cuz the whole % crit thing is huge based on the whole fuss with the crit rings... but now we have the boss dmg stat considering most of the crap bowmans fight are bosses, such as anego or gundam, pap, zak etc...

I guess it depends if you plan on bossing a lot. Personally, i would keep that amazing 9% critical, since it adds up. Like 40% from Critical Shot + 15% from Sharp Eyes + 10% from Critical Ring + 9% from bow Thats like 74% critical or something I think the 30% boss damage will add more damage when you are bossing however

that brings up my point regarding the things an archer (and more so, bowmasters) fight, are bosses, correct? anego, royal guard s-type, pap, zak, ht, are all bosses. skeles probably make up a very small amount of time i think. and even then with only 80-85k hp, skeles dont' make much of a diff i would assume... that stacking of teh critical rates is what i was thinking about. would that, in conjunction with the total dmg % stat, be enough to off-set the boss % dmg? any more?

9% total damage: (if u apple a lot) - stacks with apple/atk pots - non existent damage rounding 9% atk: (if your damage range obsessive, or if u find monster/boss reduces your damage significantly) - does not stack with atk pot - raises your actual damage range - round down the total w.atk 9% crit: (worst of the 4, raises your DPM around ~8%) - dosn't make you hit higher damage - raises your killing speed due to more critical happening 20/30% damage on boss: (late 4th job, focuses on boss only, trains on RGTS/anego) - beast damage on boss

themage24 a friend has 2 lines of 30% and we did the math and he was only effected by 30% edit not sure about 20% and 30 though. never seen it happen, but i guess it can

anyoen else have input regarding the oriignal topic? i wanna deal with this before the end of today, since today's teh last day of cash-back lol. cubing is best done today haha another thing i thought of is would these existing stats be better for loewr level bowmans while higher levels benefit more from the bossing % stat? the total dmg i know kind of is affected by the level of the archer.
