Default Archery

If I have max dex, STR, a windstriker bow, max haste, top arrows, and am squeezing call of the flame and the other quick cast nuke between shots, with double dmg bonus applying and a good amount of crits. Will my damage output be.... Respectable?

LoL, your ideal setup is going to be after Velious come out. For max Archery, get your epics or something comparable to 40% haste, now if you have a good guild go do the sky quest for Dark Cloak of the Sky, that is an unlimited 50% haste. So now you have 90% haste, combine that with Fleeting quiver 60% bow haste and the best bow you can get your hands on, which is probably the Windstriker, and you will be a Archery machine. Well as good as you can get, but probably never going to be close to how it is with AA's.

Depends on what you consider respectable. In a situation where you can't melee any dps better than no dps.

*smacks your hand* No worn haste, no. No! Bad advice. That's a bad poster. No.

Just spell haste (cloak) + quiver haste for bows. OP, Fleeting quiver + VoG and trueshot with a striker is probably gonna be decent dps, yes. I don't know how much of Velious raiding is gonna be belly casters (probably most or all) so your quick nukes won't do much of anything while archerying.

Wind Saber should be better DPS than Windstriker if you she'll out the cash for good arrows.

Thats a much lower damage weapon, even if a better ratio, wouldn't you not be taking advantage of the double damage and critical strike bonus? If someone were to do the math i would wage money that when you factor in double damage and crit the windstriker is probably the best in game, and in velious? also slower means less arrows which is a nice bonus, but regardless just interested in maximizing archery damage.

Why would double damage and crit affect relative damage? They have the same effect on all bows.

with the way arrow damage works, faster bows will do way more damage than slower ones, but it'll be super annoying to burn through good arrows that quickly

So are you doing (arrow dmg + bow dmg) / delay to determine ratio?

Would make Windsaber .954 vs Windstriker .883 w/ 8 dmg arrows.

If you're using a windstriker on a raid mob with max dex you're being a bad person
