Elfin bow vs Artmis bow Zenith

[Emtron]

I was testing out the differences in damage between the two as far as auto attack
goes and if this has already been answered feel free to guide me to the answer.

The Zenith bows auto attack was double that of the Elfin bow, the elfin bow was in the low to mid 130s and the zenith was in the high 150 low 160s as far as auto attack goes and the weapon skill attack are nearly identical.

So my question is does any one have any idea why this is?

Yes you get more crits and det with the elfin bow but wouldn't the dmg from auto attacks in between weapon skills nullify the need for extra crit?

Delay is a big thing to consider when looking at auto attack damage. While you get higher but slower single hit damage from the Relic bow, you get weaker but faster auto attacks from Elfin bow. They add up to being equal.

I wouldn't consider 150-160 to be double that of 130. Just saiyan.

auto attack strength is better than delay.

the critical hit rate is why elfin bow was popular in 2.1
