Patch 3.1.2: Venomstrike vs. Charmed Ancient Bone Bow
- Thread starter Rip
- Start date
venomstrike is still better for damage !
but i agree the canon might be even with the bow just because it uses better bullets and has .8 dps less !

mannoroth has some killer hunters, when i see them in the BG and know the gear they have or had i always ask questions.
especially when i know the have a VS, and see them using a BoA bow or gun.
this hunter has all three, [char=Mannoroth]%C3%8Er%C3%A2t%C3%A3rd%C3%ABd[/char] he said overall he likes the BoA ranged much better, that the VS rarely procs the poison.
he plays quit alot, if your on RUIN BG you might see him to ask in person

Hello there, I specifically signed up to both ask a question and place some input on this issue.
First of all, can Venomstrike proc of abillities like concussive shot or serpent sting? I assumed so at first but I'm not sure.
Following that, these dps compairisions are flawed somewhat. The boa items add mundane damage, that is to say it is affected by armor (and thus reduced by some 25% atleast) whereas the venomstrike proc is elemental and is thus far less affected by mitigation (I'm assuming the only mitigation is things such as the 'nature resistance' racial and resistances, but Im not sure on that).
Please excuse my poor English.

Err why was this 2 month old topic rezzed?
Yeah, I forgot that when I made this topic but remembered it a few hours later. Anyway, +2 Scope can no longer be applied to BoAs, which makes Venomstrike the clear winner, so I never bothered to update this.
A few weeks ago I tested Venomstrike's PPM and it was 6 iirc.

It really depends on your type of WSG/Dueling/Arena lifestyle, i find the BoA bow a log better in Arenas and Duels, because you are mostly on the kiting run, not find much time to stop and take advantage of that fast whites from the Venomstrike. So taking the higher damage outcome and attack power from the BoA makes your Arcane shot more deadly.
But in WSG, i definitally overchose the Venomstrike, because of the faster speed, you have a better chance of just sitting down in mid, and hitting everything in site, drop it dead, then switch targets
