Musket damage in PVP is a joke, I been testing all week, I got my Damage score up to 1602 and it does the same damage as 1455. I played with DEX and INT, and it makes no difference what so ever.
Has there been a stealth nerf?
A head shot now is 2k plus if and that’s a BIG if !!!
Reg body shots are 800 to 1.2k damage, you unload on them and don’t even scratch them,
Bows do 4 to 5k damage and we do 1k?
We are no threat what so ever to range or Healers, we hardly scratch them
In pve, Bow does 6k damage on crit and musket 4k, so why so much hate in PVP?
I mean, musket damage is the same as it was before every weapon does less in general from the 1.2 forumla changes…and the only thing musket does differently now is reload slightly slower, still does 380 dmg powder burn ticks so it really isnt much different. I can kill medium players with 33 dex not even fully spec’d into musket pretty easily
I do more damage on mobs with a musket crit with 33 dex/360 int, than I do with firestaff with 400 main int stat, and musket is hitscan with 3x the range. Anyone calling musket bad is simply bad at the game. And obviously the problem is that firestaff is underperforming, dont want musket nerfed,
As a musket main I have been thinking about switching to bow. It does way higher damage, higher rate of fire, doesn’t require 150 intelligence to deal decent damage, has extremely powerful AoE abilities which double as damage over time skills. It also has a way more forgiving hitbox which enables you to fire into crowds and still hit shots. Ever try shooting into a crowd with musket? Don’t even bother.
People who complain about musket are actually terrible, even as a squishy player I have never been one hundred to zero by another solo musket player, but I have been one shot by archers.
I mean just look at the perks for bow versus the perks for musket! Every other passive for bow gives another 20% to damage anywhere. Musket passives are just trash all around.
archers aren’t hitscan
they’re only really good up close
bows can’t really 1 shot anymore, rarely and if you’re 5 con
play light armor mage against any decent musket player and let me know how it goes… by the time you close any gap any good musket player would have already pumped 10k damage into you. I don’t think musket needs a nerf either, I just think int range weapons are trash.
Go full int light armor firestaff and tell me how musket feels to play against, with your opinion it’s clear you’ve never tried it. If the musket player has medium armor it’s already GG, because you will be critting him for 1.8k while he is critting you for 3.5k, with hitscan and 3x the range.
no decent musket player is going to get ice showered, lmao…plus by the time you even close the gap you’re already dead. I use ice in OPR but as a 1v1 against range ice gaunt is useless
