always great to see these statistics.
but why no 'most-used-skills' for softcore?

It would just say BV

Don't worry, they will break that build soon as well. They have busted so many builds and made the experience gain so weak, most people I know have basically quit.

Only people left are sycophants and game addicts.

Wait, what? Blast Rain excels as single target skill but Lightning Arrow and Tornado Shot are still better for pack clearing. They should be more popular. Where are they?...that's something fishy going on here...

This is probably because both LA and TS chars are using Blast Rain for single target

Wut? TS is probably most OP single target skill of all "arrows", why would they use Blast Rain?

Because Blast Rain is 3 times better and because mathil is doing so

How it is 3X?

BR: 47.6% * 4 = 190.4%.
TS: 109%.

TS should come with GMP, giving 26% less, but gives 4 additional arrows.
BR needs WED and PtL as we started convert than better all. Gives us Shock!

Bosses have more elemental resistances than physical!
TS can bleed/poison.

Seriously GGG, you're posting Essence league stats and we're only 11 days into the league? Wow, it must really be a slow news day in Wraeclast. YAAWWWNNNN!!!!! ... BORING!

So many mobs, so little time. Just where do they get all the junk from? ;)

(a) no, blast rain is now necessary as a single-target skill when using LA, not when using TS. Mathil also does not use blast rain while using TS, only other arrow skills that don't have insane single-target. For example, Mathil using not-blast-rain for a boss while using TS here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=libo4rHRkG4

(b) blast rain is worse than TS unless you're running literally one arrow. Because TS still pseudo-shotguns. 6 TS arrows = up to 7 TS hits per volley. Compared to blast rain... lol.

tl;dr no one at all uses blast rain for primary single-target alongside TS, stop spreading misinformation. Blast Rain Traps/Mines might be nice for uber atziri's split phase to avoid reflect damage (the same way barrage traps were used when reach of the council was the meta), but that's literally it.

Unless you have helm enchant for +2 splinters for TS & +1 arrow quiver, or use RotC, TS is still weaker than Blast Rain for single target. Yes, it may potentially hit 5(6) times, but it wont - not all "splinters" will fly in the direction you want, there are quite large gaps between them.
That small advantage hardly justifies using Blast Rain for single target, though.

However, if you're physical archer, then Blast Rain will be weak due to conversion.

Love statistics, I want MORE please !

Also it's the first time there are no really stupid challenges like ID'ing uniques, it's going in teh right direction for me, I might even get 36 this time without needing to buy stuff.

Cool statistics.

Omission of non-Hardcore league skills feels weird.
