I don't understand why you're getting so defensive and being so rude and like "OMG YOU'RE WRONG AND TROLLING STOP TROLLING!" when my EYEBALLING showed a minor damage difference(seemed like 0) and your "testing" showed basically the same thing almost. I don't even know if your testing is correct, it's such a small sample size and my damage varied by 10ish with BOTH bows, (20-30ish damage with bow1, 20-30ish with bow2)which is why I just said they do the same damage.

Really, no idea why you're arguing, this is a dumb argument and we're both right, stop being a jerk about it.
I'm sorry your internet feelings got hurt lol but I never took a personal stab at YOU only your tests/eyeballing/math. I put my data out there straight up and it came out supporting my side of the coin. I already stated that I agree with you that stats don't do much to influence this game and already agreed with you that it needs to be fixed. I'm not 'arguing' with you, just standing by my findings. We are both right, except I'm right about oranges and you're right about apples. Except oranges are more relevant than apples in regards to doing damage in FFXIV.

Pretty sure this thread has run it's course ~ I'll post the large batch testing at a later time when I'm not more interested in watching Game of Thrones.
