I'm trying to decide which ranged weapon to use. My choice has been limited to
Truestrike Crossbow and
Wrathtide Longbow. I've decided to run a few tests on Dr.Boom to see which one would be better, but so far it's still hard to decide.
Here are the bases of my experiments
- Anäbell
- 3:2 Macro: #showtooltip Steady Shot
/cast !Auto Shot
/cast Steady Shot
/script UIErrorsFrame:Clear(); from this thread. I've just deleted the KC and breath lines. - Trinket 1, Trinket 2, Bestial Wrath, Rapid Fire were all used once during both test. 1 Super Mana Potion was used each time.
Right that being said, here are the results i've obtained.
Wrathtide Longbow with the 3:2 Macro::
73 Steady Shots / 47 269 / 16.4%
49 Auto Shots / 37 131 / 32.7%
Total dmg done: 84 400.
Final DPS: 703.33
Truestrike Cross bow with the 1:1 Macro70 Steady Shots / 46 877 / 24.3%
67 Auto Shots / 36 489 / 14.9%
Total dmg done: 83 366
Final DPS: 694.71
The difference is quite small, but it's still there, and according to these tests, i'll be better of using Wrathtide.
But I've still got some questions:
- Would it make a difference if i had used a true 1:1 macro instead of manual weaving?
- How accurate/contestable are the results due to the random nature of crits and IAotH?
- How do you "use" the 3:2 macro, if there's a right or wrong way to use it.
- Last but not least. Which bow should i use? :)
Thanks for reading and looking forward to replies.
Edit: One more thing: Is it possible to incorporate the lines
/use 13
/use 14
/cast Bestial Wrath
/cast Rapid Fire
into a 3:2 macro?
