Just like with any lvl 70 weapon, there's pro's and cons. Although, just browsing on other sites, there are quite a few hunters out there who use the GBKD for everything and are quite happy with it. BRK, any thoughts?<br/><br/>And yup, the thought of owning the Barrel-blade long rifle should make any hunter tingly =O Thanks for the info gents, however I can’t help to think that GBKD would be real nice to have for BG’s or arena work.

Not so good for a hunter. It has no agi, no AP, no int, no crit. Just dps and stamina. You could throw in a hunter gem, but it'd still be pretty gimp compared to any number of ranged weapons out there. <br/><br/>Although their listed dps is lower, you'd be better off with Valanos' Longbow or Lohn'goron, Bow of the Torn-heart.

I have the Ogri-la Crystalline Xbow and I'm very pleased with it. I an engineer and have the mats to make this baby. I'm tinkering with using it for myself with adamantite shells for the dmg boost of the shells vs warden arrow...just trying to get some feedback. Great Blog btw.

A BM will almost certainly get 5 auto shots, and 2-3-4 Steadies and an maybe an Arcane, if he’s not busy slamming Kill Command :-) That’s 400-450 bonus damage, not counting the increased pet damage.

All calculations are made without taking in account additional Haste (troll racial, rapid fire, haste rating), crits and +% damage increased talents, so the actual damage bonuses are quite higher…

… and my head hurts now.
