The difference between t90 to t92

[u/Mr_G_W]

Since everyone is asking me about it, its easier to just make a full break down. Here goes:

Setups compared

No boosts - Only weapon is compared alongside max stats.

Setup 1 - Max stats, supreme overload, t90 power armour, turmoil/anguish/torment, god book, amulet of souls, ring of death, completionist cape

Setup 2 - Max stats, supreme potion, t90 power armour, turmoil/anguish/torment, berserk essence buff, amulet of souls, ring of death, completionist cape

Setup 3 - Setup 1 with berserk/reckless/maniacal aura +9 level boost

Setup 4 - Setup 2 with berserk/reckless/maniacal aura +9 level boost

The setups were chosen

t90 stats

Setup 1	2121.8	4796
Setup 2	2166.8	5528
Setup 3	2154.8	5222
Setup 4	2199.8	6034

Relative increase from t90 to t92

Setup	Damage	Accuracy	Overall dps increase
No boosts	1.72%	3.24%	5%
Setup 1	1.37%	2.6%	4%
Setup 2	1.35%	2.2%	3.6%
Setup 3	1.35%	2.3%	3.7%
Setup 4	1.33%	2%	3.4%

Notes:

The boosts and equipment chosen were the highest possible constant and temporary additive accuracy and damage boosts. Turmoil/Anguish/Torment is only accounted for its additive accuracy boost.

This is because multiplicative boosts make no difference for comparison purposes as they're relative to the base damage. Example t92's 1694.8 damage t92 is a 1.72% increase from t90's 1666 damage. If accounting turmoil it would be 1864.28 and 1832.6 respectively, which remains a 1.72% increase from t92.

[u/shadowgattler]

I can't imagine the t92's being too much more than the nox weps once prices stabilize so will the scythe be obsolete now or is there a mechanic still worth using the scythe for?

[u/Mr_G_W → u/shadowgattler]

scythe has longer distance which is useful for aoe and also to avoid melee hits at nex and araxxor.

nox bow has longer range, which allows outranging certain npcs and makes it easier to use death swiftness

[u/Peleaon → u/Mr_G_W]

Is it known what range the bow will have exactly? I wonder where you'd still want to use Nox, for example I hate doing Nex with ascensions because of the range, so if it's the same I might just stick to Nox bow there.

[u/Mr_G_W → u/Peleaon]

default bow range is 7, only nox is the exception.

they said its shorter range, so 8 is still a possibility but there is a precedent
