Slayer arrow vs 20% doubleshot

[Irongutz2000]

So i am playing a pure fury of the wild ranger and was wondering if anyone had thoughts onn which would be better? U can take teir 5 DW and gain 20 % double shot , imp archers focus and heavy draw or u can take teir 5 Arcane archer and pick up slayer arrow and some other goodies.

The slayer arrows r really nice to see those 30k + arrows that can triple shot , just not sure if its worth it.

In AA I have a 51% double shot and in dws I have a 71% . Ty for any advice.

i am running the same thing.

just did a er, so not quite at the same level to test - but things die quicker with dws then with slayer.


that said the burst damage seems much better with slayer (of course)

you may want to look at white feather sniper and on the first or 2nd page, cthrutheego did a dps comparision.

In general for Fury builds I prefer Slayer arrow. You know the capstone for AA has 20% doubleshot also right? Fury builds are all about being able to pull out a massive burst of damage every now and then against priority targets.
One thing to consider pretty strongly though is---is your play style mostly IPS or mostly Archer's focus. If you're mostly IPS the improved archer's focus won't do a whole lot for you, whereas if your strategy is normally to plant your feet and shot single targets it is very good. I lean more towards IPS and so find Slayer arrow more appealing.

FotW is best for burst DPS; in particular, Adrenaline + Slaying Arrow + Manyshot is a pretty tough combo to beat. Other EDs like LD and DC are more focused on sustained DPS; so for them the +20% DS might be better. Depending on race, you could do 41 AA (capstone) / 38 DWS (T5s) / 1 AP human (39 DWS on non-human); although you have to buy a lot of filler from AA.

Really, though, since Enhancement resets only cost plat, you should play around until you find the config you think best suits your playstyle.

It depends on what you want to emphasize – consistent or burst dps.

Tier 5 AA is better for burst dps. Tier 5 deepwood stalker is better for consistent dps.

Fury is better for burst dps. Dreadnaught is better for consistent dps. Divine crusader is a nice middle ground because you get consistent dps from the +1 crit range and burst dps from zeal.

What do you want to do? That should be how you evaluate them. You can go to either extreme or find a middle ground by combining them in different ways.
