        <title>Is there any reason to use a bow over a chainblade</title>
        <link>https://forums.mabinogi.nexon.net/discussion/24912/is-there-any-reason-to-use-a-bow-over-a-chainblade</link>

        <description><![CDATA[I was just sitting down and trying to work out the damage for bows, to see if it was worthwhile to focus archery instead of chainblade. In particular the newest weapons (Demolition Breaker Bow and Bow of Ruination) are STUPIDLY expensive (~130mil for the former and ~1bil for the latter) which led me to wonder if they were worth the investment or if I was better off just rolling with a cheap (~5mil) chainblade and happily using Chain Impale / Chain Crush for days.<br />
<br />
So here's how I figured the damage:<br />
<br />
* Assume every skill is r1 / dan3 and every talent is GM for maximum stats<br />
* Assume current level 200 / exploration level 50 at the age and talent most appropriate for the desired stats<br />
* Assume sufficient totems / homestead relics / enchants / Divine Link to round up any stats for easier math<br />
* Assume total level 40k for maximum Shine of Eweca<br />
* Assume max roll echostones (+130) for all relevant stats<br />
<br />
Per <a href="https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Stats_and_Skills" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Stats_and_Skills</a> the skills / talents yield:<br />
<br />
* DEX: 1,171 (Elf)<br />
* LCK: 443<br />
<br />
Per <a href="https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Character#Character_Growth" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Character#Character_Growth</a> at age 10 or 11 and Elf receives 0.75 DEX per level and 0.50 LCK per level. You'll gain a total of 248 levels (200 - 1 normal levels and 50 - 1 exploration levels) yielding additional stats of:<br />
<br />
* DEX: 186 (total: 1,357)<br />
* LCK: 124 (total: 567)<br />
<br />
Your character will also gain 38 DEX and 17 LCK just by aging up. So we can add that in, too.<br />
<br />
Per <a href="https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Divine_Link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Divine_Link</a>: Divine Link adds 50% of your pet's stats PLUS 40% of your pet's current level.<br />
<br />
Assuming a Warrior Corgi, age 4 will maximize both DEX and LCK. So if you leveled up to 200 at age 4 with a Glimmering Golden Supplement you've got 189 DEX and 130 LCK. This mean you add to your character:<br />
<br />
* DEX: 95 (50% of pet's stat) + 80 (40% of pet's level) = 175 (total so far: 1570, capped at 1500)<br />
* LCK: 65 (50% of pet's stat) + 80 (40% of pet's level) = 145 (total so far: 729)<br />
<br />
I've demonstrated that you hit the DEX cap (with Divine Link) without factoring in talent, so we can go Mercantile for maximum LCK: 0.50 per level (124 total) - meaning our LCK is now 853<br />
<br />
Per <a href="https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Shine_of_Eweca" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Shine_of_Eweca</a>, Shine of Eweca adds:<br />
<br />
* DEX: 334<br />
* LCK: 200<br />
<br />
Add these plus the 130 echostones we assumed and your stats are now:<br />
<br />
* DEX: 1964<br />
* LCK: 1183<br />
<br />
We can't take DEX any higher (we hit hard cap) but we can round LCK out to 1200 with totems for easier math<br />
<br />
Now for the damage calculations. First, base damage added by stats. Bows benefit ONLY from DEX, whereas chainblades benefit from LCK as well:<br />
<br />
* Bows: 561 ~ 786... with 80% balance that's ~741<br />
* Chain: 798 ~ 1082... with 80% balance that's ~1025<br />
<br />
I'm notably ignoring any &quot;max damage&quot; enchant, &quot;max damage&quot; totem, &quot;max damage&quot; from titles, and damage on the weapon. The first 3 apply equally to bows and chainblades and I'm only interested in comparing their differences. The latter I assume is similar between the two and dwarfed by the damage added by stats (and enchants and totems and titles and mastery skills...)<br />
<br />
Before doing anything else, chainblades are dealing 280 more damage just because they add LCK to damage. But now let's get into the real meat:<br />
<br />
* Magnum Shot multiplier: 560% -- damage so far = 4,150<br />
* Chain Crush multiplier: 750% -- damage so far = 7,688<br />
<br />
Chainblade skills also benefit from Dorcha Mastery (<a href="https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Dorcha_Mastery" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Dorcha_Mastery</a>), for which bows have no similar skill:<br />
<br />
* Chainblade skill multiplier: x1.1 -- damage so far = 8,457<br />
<br />
But wait, there's more! Chainblades can benefit from Chain Burst (<a href="https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Chain_Burst" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Chain_Burst</a>):<br />
<br />
* Chainblade skills: x1.3 -- damage so far = 10,994<br />
<br />
I'll ignore Deathmark as this increases ALL damage (bows as well). For similar reasons I'll ignore things like Battlefield Overture, combat power potions, bone chips, etc. While these increase damage, they affect bows and chainblades equally.<br />
<br />
Now we can look at reforges. For bows there's one reforge of interest: Magnum Shot Damage<br />
<br />
On gloves this can add up to 200% to the multiplier, on an accessory up to 60% (times two for two accessories). That increases the multiplier from 560% to 880% if you had three max-rolled reforges -- a net gain of 57.14% damage<br />
<br />
Chain Crush is less lucky in this regard. They have the 60% accessory reforge, but no 200% glove reforge. So it only gets to a max 870% multiplier -- a net gain of only 16.00% damage<br />
<br />
HOWEVER chainblades can get &quot;Dorcha Mastery damage&quot;. This increases the 1.1x multiplier to a 1.3x multiplier! A net gain of 18.18% damage! Combining these two reforges yields a net gain of 37.09% damage<br />
<br />
So with reforges:<br />
<br />
* Bow damage = 4,150 * 1.5714 = 6,521<br />
* Chain damage = 10,994 * 1.3709 = 15,072<br />
<br />
Even with the Demolition Breaker Bow (+50% Magnum Shot Damage) and the Demolition Breaker Arrow (+20% damage) Magnum Shot is still only doing 11,738 damage. You have to use a Bow of Ruination with an Arrow of Ruination in order to JUST BARELY surpass the chainblade damage... but then remember that bows have to aim (lower DPS) and have a miss chance! But if you really want to pretend that bow beats Chainblade in damage, remember this:<br />
<br />
* The &quot;Slasher of the Night&quot; second title &quot;increases the effect of master titles&quot; - so I believe this increases the 20% bonus damage on the master title further<br />
* Chainblades deal melee damage, so they can benefit from Support Shot, getting +70% (or +100% with the master title) damage!<br />
<br />
Note that I ignored critical hits for the same reasons I ignored Battlefield Overture, bone chips, etc. -- bows and chainblades benefit equally from these<br />
<br />
So I have to ask: Am I missing something? Or are bows just absolute trash compared to chainblades? It seems like without spending 1 billion gold you can't outperform a Beginner Cardinal Chainblade, and even AFTER spending 1 billion gold the chainblade can still win with the right setup...]]>
