If we fire it at 5 range as well, we will get the extra damage it would have lost from a huge 59, 26 more range than the Composite Bow. But what if we did this to the Black Bow.

In other words, a Composite Bow fired at, say, 5 range, will receive extra damage of 14 range, so the damage lost at 33 range will instead be added to it. This means that at 0 range, a target will take extra damage depended on how much you would have lost the other way. Thus, at a further distance, it will always outdamage the Composite Bow.īut what if we look in the opposite direction.ĭue to the range on the bows, the closer the target gets, the more extra damage it will take. But the Black Bow will continue to do damage for 13 more range. This means that once the composite bow reaches its max range, it will do no damage. Using this we can tell that the Black Bow's median is 13 more than the Composite Bow. This means that any more range will do less damage, and any less range will do more damage.

Using this, we can determine that at these ranges, the bow does its natural damage, including scaling. The median of the Composite Bow would be 19, where as the median of the Black Bow would be 32. We'll call the middle of the bow range the "median". So what if we use that to say that our damage is effected by bow range. We already know that the further away the target is, the less damage a bow does. We know the Composite Bow has a range of 38, and the Black Bow has a range of 65. I tried thinking of ways of how this would work, and I only came up with one. Well, I recently did some testing, and it seems like Black Bow outdamages Composite. For the most part, we consider the Composite Bow the best bow for PvP, and Black Bow of Pharis the best for PvE, at least I do anyway.
