I agree its low, but did You use correct arrows?

Tip, use the scout app so You Get the melee resists on You target so You open with correct damage type

I'm just used to doing off the top of my head as I had a 50 scout/hunter/and ranger in 2003. But yes, the app sounds cool.

My hunter is using a MP 5.0 bow.
22+5 archery
Cap DEX, Buff potions.

And I was hitting on average 112 - resist.
Again the archery line is bad.
The only good prey are people sitting

I play with the arrows type even if it's not the proper vulnerability, sometimes you caught players that haven't max some of their resist.

You just feel useless as a class with this kind of piss poor damage. It doesn't even make sense. I don't get why the developers would allow for any class to be this gimp. Every class has some weaknesses, but scout is all weakness as far as I can see.

The only explanation is intent. It's intended by the developers for this class to be so horrid.

just forget a scout in thid. they can ONLY add fights and volley during ck defense. they have no other purpose. any other stealth class will destroy you 1v1

I have been playing on thid for about 2 weeks and I've only found one skilled hunter specced 15 blade that was good with side snare and kite, literally using sidesnare as an anytimer and landing it 90% of times.

There isn't a single scout specced 21 blade capable of sidesnaring and kiting on thid.

You will win less fights with a scout but if you play it well it could be much more rewarding because when you do it's because you have outplayed the opponent, not coz you are playing a stronger class.

And I thought people play op toons to not die not to always win.

Its ok if its intended archers ruined live, hopefully the devs have learned from that.

Well 1st at 20 bow you're missing rank 21 CS. You had no buffs and shot a target that has AF buffs (among all other buffs). You probably used the wrong type of arrow head as well.

With my ranger in thid (non twink, but all gear yellow - oj), with 5.4 bow was getting 200-240 CS depending on targets (mostly casters / stealthers) and 80-100 normal arrows (self buffed no pots etc), 24+5 archery. Given that most peeps have 300-600hp in thid it wasn't too bad (except the long draw times).
