Why is additional arrow good?
|
I am looking at signal fire quiver, + 1 additional arrow, 25ex. (Edit: Standard League.)
Or is it because i am using burning arrow, so it does not looks good for my build? Last edited by mina97#5184 on Feb 13, 2020, 6:51:33 AM Last bumped on Feb 13, 2020, 6:38:20 AM

Because each additional arrow is 'more' damage.
If you fire 1 arrow, you do X damage. if you get an additional arrow, now you do 2X damage (double). GMP takes a support slot AND has 'less damage' mod on it, to offset the +4 arrows. getting a free extra arrow is a really strong boost. also, +1 arrow has to be a corruption implicit. which is really rare. |

" Additional Projectiles: Like all bow attacks which fire more than one projectile simultaneously, a single enemy cannot be hit by more than one projectile per attack. If multiple arrows are on course to impact any given monster, all but one will ignore that monster and travel past to potentially hit enemies behind the first one encountered. " But I am guessing all the pros aren't even using greater multiple projectiles, they just use additional arrow corrupt on all their equips which is really cool. |

for aoe clear, the extra arrows definitely help, you hit more mobs per attack.
for bossing, people swap to either Barrage as a main skill, or Barrage support. BOTH of these change the behavior of additional arrows, allowing them ALL to hit one target. |

" I have a amulet that have pierce 4 targets, so i think extra arrows might not improve much more for me, and other players also might have chains, pierce and forks. " Thank you very much, this is the knowledge I was missing out on. I generally avoid bosses as I am glass cannon noob so i guess additional arrows is just not fit for my plans or build. P.s. Having many +1 additional arrows equips will allow me to remove GMP like you said, so this would be what I am working towards for, albeit expensive, but at least i have a goal now. |

@OP
You should always specify where you play, be it standard or challenge league, as that impacts pricing. 25 Ex is absolutely ridiculous price for it in challange league but the pricing is completely bonkers in standard. Anyway, I do not think that additional arrow is what you should be aiming for when playing burning arrow. I'm not sure what type of build you try to creat, either direct damage or burn, but either way it will not be the most efficient way at least in terms of currency per increased damage gained. |

" Standard league. I prefer direct damage, however if burn is better, i would go for that. Last edited by mina97#5184 on Feb 14, 2020, 10:38:49 PM
