Arrow Bomb explodes
buy maplestory mesos in either direction from the target it strikes, which means groups of enemies must be close to the initial target to get hit by the area of effect . Arrow bomb has the ability to shoot upward or downward at a slight angle (like a normal attack) and is useful when attacking from a safe spot.
Iron Arrow can only hit targets in a straight line and in one direction (as a bonus, the projectile can pass through walls). Iron Arrow is better at hitting multiple monsters, but cannot be used to safely snipe enemies from above or below.
Due to recent patches,
cheap maplestory mesos arrow bomb's impact damage has been raised to the normal attack of 130%, allowing its damage to match the splash damage. A critical strike from Arrow Bomb gives double splash damage (making the attack have a maximum of 260% splash damage rather than the normal 230% that would have been dealt using the normal critical formula).
When maxed, Arrow Bomb deals (130% x 6) for a maximum of 780% damage (a critical strike will be (260% x 6) for a maximum of 1560% damage).
When maxed, Arrow Bomb has a 60% chance to stun each enemy (the calculation to see if a target is stunned is applied to each individual target rather than the entire group as a whole). Admittedly, it doesn't seem like a "flat" 60% chance, weaker enemies tend to get stunned more often than the stronger enemies, and bosses never get stunned.
Iron Arrow gets -9% (previously -18%) damage per target after the first. A maxed out Iron Arrow will hit the first target for 180% and the 6th target for 135%. Iron Arrow has critical strikes that give a bonus 100% damage to the first target, but receives the same -9% (previously 18%) damage reduction per target.
Iron Arrow, when maxed, deals (180% + 171% + 162% + 153% + 144% + 135%) for a maximum of 945% damage (a critical strike will be (280% + 271% + 262% + 253% + 244% + 235%) for a maximum of 1545% total damage).
Iron Arrow is more powerful in terms of total output damage on mobs of 5 and lower, but Arrow Bomb allows the Hunter to attack from safer locations due to having a more flexible range.
maplestory mesos Both have the ability for crowd control, because Arrow Bomb can stun, and Iron Arrow has knockback.
