Flame Sergeant's Spear VS Ifrit's Harpoon

[Ruri]

I tried this on mobs using Garuda bow compared to Ifrit bow. My WS's were doing more dmg with Garuda bow but light shots were doing less. But Light shot delay was 1 second less with Garuda so I could get more light shots off on average each fight. I think the dps has something to do with WS damage as the main damage number for the weapon is about 30 less on Garuda bow than Ifrit bow.

Yea I wanted to see what was going on. Seems weird how it is calculated but my Rain of Death on Garuda and plumes definately does 80-100 more dmg than with Ifrit's bow. Looks awesome too.

Nah 302 dex 297 pie but alot of +attack (forgot total atm cus at work), could be +10 more dex and pie with paragon helm on which I will probably do but I thought 300 Dex was cap.

Keep in mind those stat caps Seiken posted were using Ifrit's bow.

Caps will be lower using Garuda's.

That is IF the stats cap are based on damage stat, for all we know now stats cap can be based on weapons' DPS now, which would make much more sense... But needs testing and I don't have anything to test with yet =/

Chim is a good test for this as well since archer ls damage is so low and pretty much the only decent thing on him is RoF. It would be nice to see some parses using ifrit/garuda. With the simple addition of DPS display SE could of just altered the formula work off dps instead of base.

People don't just have to wait on Garuda bow either to test this as all the company bow's have better DPS then ifrit.
