Hello guys. I've been thinking.... since an archer is a very Critical Reliant class, the more criticals per second which are activated is better right? Well, Hurricane is the fastest skill ever, so doesn't this mean that there will be way more crits, ontributing to HUGE DPS? Now, I know that it has very nice DPS, but I haven't seen it compared to other skills in terms of Criticaling Power. For instance, people now say that since Marksmen got the upgrades, their Single Target DPS is even with Bowmasters. However, while they can theoretically 1 HIT KO a monster every 5 seconds, the other 4 they are stuck using Strafe. Strafe fires WAY less shots per second than Hurricane, meaning that its damage is severely lower and much less stable. So doesn;t this all mean that HUrricane will always be the most stable, damaging skill? And does a 5 second Snipe really make up for the lack of Criticaling Power?

DPS includes Hurricane's insane criticals.

Snipe has to make up for about 167 of Hurricane's arrows, when being fired constantly.

At lower levels, when Snipe is maxed, Marksman will have constant 199k damage, making them a lot better. But as they level, Bow Masters become better.

hurricane is a really unstable skill while strafe is a lot more stable...hurricane shoots one arrow which can range anywhere from 2k-13k according to my stats while strafe does a more consistent damage...snipe is meant for bossing and not too much useful at training but their damage does not get "lowered"

@afkforever Em... what? every 5 seconds is not consistent at all. Especially since nobody can time it right exactly every 5 seconds so it'll be more like 6 seconds.....Anyway, how the heck are they different except for Snipe+Pierce vs Hurricane? After attack skills maxed, no class will become better than the other... @DirtySoufKing: Actually, Hurricane is ridiculously stable. And onlt because of the shear amount of hits. The chances that ALL of the hits are low or high is RIDICULOUSLY low. It will always be a mix, and the more arrows that hit, the more stable it will become...
