Opinion on Kelbi Bow alert: I don't mind it, but I'm really bothered when it's the only thing someone uses. It also makes people think the correct way to use a bow is spamming LVL 1 shots.

  • As an Expert bow user (and all weapons in general) I believe the Kelbi bow is a special case. The main appeal for it is the Slime so lvl 1 is the best option for it. lvl3 or 4 depending on the armor..

  • or skills you have gemmed in doesnt do the job, it shoots less bolts then lvl 1-2 charges.

  • A Kelbi Bow user is basicly a ballistic expert. Add in Bombadier and feline pyro and the kelbi bow is a good weapon......though in my opinion......

  • The Lucent Heavy Bowgun with Azure Rath armor and expert 3 gemmed in is the bane to any large monster.....especially Jhen and ceadues.

    is it proven that just lvl1 spamming outputs higher damage than charged shots? and i think what makes this bow appeal is its full range coating availability so u can better support ur team.

    plus, if u r just spamming, probably u r outside the optimal shooting range and missing half of ur arrows/pellets. thats not how u use a bow.

  • Lvl 1 shots do less damage, less element, and less status.

  • This is true for most bows but the kelbi bow is unique in that regard. It benefits more from a lvl 2 charge because the differense of bolts. The lvl 2 charge has a modifier of 100% raw 75% element

  • boosting the 6 bolts from the shot still does more damage then lvl 4.

  • Lets do some math now The Great Kelbi Deershot has 276 raw and 350 elemental damage. lvl 2 shot sends 6 bolts and lvl 4 sends 4 shots. The charge modifiers are as follows lvl 2 100% raw 75% element

  • and lvl 4 does 150% raw 125.5% element. a lvl 2 shot alone with the modifier does 552 raw 612.5 elemental. lvl 4 does 690 raw and roughly 735 elemental. Now take shot speed into account.

  • You'll shoot 2 lvl 2 shots for every 1 lvl for and in that time you'll of done 1104 raw 1225 elemental damage.

    5 arrows for lvl5 spread, not 6. u calculated it wrong man. each arrow is calculated individually. but u may got one point right, at least use lvl 2 shot.
