aaron.7850 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I love the longbow but I hear its bad for fractals and strikes. How much of a DPS loss is it to use compared a scepter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChillyKoti.1928 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I'm pretty sure it's because Scepter is more fast and less clunky than Longbow.Speaking solely about numbers, it isn't bad, it's just that better ranged options exists and other people will want you to use these.

Derm.4932 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 You can technically bench within 90% of golem benchmark of scepter, but your burst is considerably lower which will translate to less damage in fractals. The rotation is also heavily greatsword dependent which is important because people who want to use LB for the looks/feel/theme tend to camp LB which will result in significant damage loss.

Laila Lightness.8742 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Longbow is not very good over all scepter beats it in all areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadnir.5038 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Longbow dps, how bad is it?To the point that he got it's own category of "bad": It's Guardian's longbow bad!Below average sustained damage, low burst and cluncky skills, however it's a ranged weapon so it can be in the "Necromancer's main-hand dagger bad" category.

NorthernRedStar.3054 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 It's a utility -heavy weapon, which made it passable for PvP for the time (pre-nerfs). In PvE that's always made LB a bad choice for DPS, naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
