Demonic Pacts League/Guide/Ranged

Demonic Pacts

There are three paths in the Demonic Pacts tree to pursue for ranged combat: bows, crossbows, and throwing weapons. Blowpipes and the eclipse atlatl count as thrown weapons. All three can benefit from ammo regeneration and ranged echoes.

The bow capstone nodes can increase maximum and minimum hits by 1 for each successful hit. There is a major node to decrease bow speed by 1 tick (0.6 seconds).

The crossbow has two capstones. The first causes all successful hits to be the maximum hit possible. The second node cause crossbows to roll accuracy twice, similar to the effect of the Osmumten's fang. A major crossbow node increases damage by 70% in exchange for attacking 2 ticks (1.2 seconds) slower. A second major node grants +5 ranged strength if an offhand is equipped.

The thrown weapon capstones increase accuracy by a flat 60 and allow a second attack to hit a nearby enemy. The major node increase ranged strength by 80% of melee strength.
