Carraway's Guide to the New Archer: 1.18 and Beyond

I would venture a guess that what's making the difference on a per-Light Shot basis is Maim, not Blindside II. We use Cadence at the start, but not in the middle of the fight.

edit: Thanks for posting the parse, Murugan. With you posting up 41% of a party's damage in an ogre fight, what are the numbers of your other party members, and what classes are they? I also think the mouse-over breakdown with top 5 abilities and # of uses, min, max, avg, and proportion of total damage is more helpful than the pie chart, personally.

I think we can agree to disagree for now, since both approaches are resulting in >=33ish recorded DPS (real-world DPS is slightly higher, usually, even with fast alt-tabbing). I'm really curious to see what happens in 1.19, and I look forward to the resulting discussions.

Maim was only one set of light shots and was what gave me 328 instead of the 300-310 range I usually get. I hit 300+ on crits always when blindside lands. You said you get 280 highest and that is what I usually get if I am not positioned correctly and mess up my blindside, so it seems like the difference is blindside.

I use cadence on all my full bursts.
