I've taken a fancy to AB, and especially the terrain it offers. The high elevations it offers is just cream to a Ranger's distance and damage. I can see this effect, but I'm interested in numbers.
Is there some statistic on how better a bow becomes with height? I'm hoping there is something out there along the lines of "+X range/Y feet above target", and something the like for damage.
Is elevation premium another one of Anets secrets locked away in code, or is this type of knowledge communally known?
It just increased your chances of getting a critical hit. Also, bows that attack with a higher arc tend to critical more often in my experiences, since the attack hits your enemy's head.
