The stats may be similar, but look at the weapon damage on it

[Lisaara]

Not a big upgrade though....*points to the stats*

[Cialbi]

Talu, look at the weapon damage - it's almost a 20% increase in that regard, with no change to weapon speed.

[Lisaara]

Thats the only thing thats big, is what I'm saying. I'm talking about the stats. Agility and stuff.

"Turns your target into Alterac Swiss!"

But you will never have to buy Alterac Swiss again!

[Cialbi]

Thats the only thing thats big, is what I'm saying. I'm talking about the stats. Agility and stuff.

Weapon damage is a stat, too! Used to be the most powerful stat for us, in fact; Cataclysm changed that, but doesn't make this a marginal stat.

[SpiritBinder]

Agility and stuff.

Oh yes, I am also feel the jip when stuff is not better then other stuff.

[Cialbi]

*sigh* Upgrading from Kickback to this will make Aimed Shot hit almost 20% harder; same with auto shot. And those aren't even the only shots affected (though they do get the most benefit compared to other shots).

[SpiritBinder]

That and it being BOE is also amazing... just think one will be able to obtain one of these with the right mats or gold as soon as they hit 85... not to bad at all imo.

[Sasrei]

yah but it says its epic.. thats not epic if it has the same stats as a blue... my epic bow is 107 agility thats epic.. that gun.. not so epic lol

swiss cheese mmmmmmmmm

Nice gun, shame some people don't understand the mechanics of their own class.

Nice gun, shame some people don't understand the mechanics of their own class.

It's still underbudget for the item level. Hopefully they will fix that. Likely the stats are copy/paste. We can hope...

For comparison, the epic Firelands crossblow.

So, basically, this crafted gun is the new "blue" gun. Nice they gave it to us, but it's not really epic.

I'm BM. I don't used Aimed Shot so thats not helpful. ^^;

THANK YOU! Now THAT is an upgrade! Thats what I was talking about!

It's probaly not ment to be an epic. 4.2 is still early. I'm guessing another 3-4 months of testing..(I hope. Don't want it rushed)

Dont hold your breath. They're looking to push it out very soon.
