Currently have a 400 dps bow dualstrike with cold dmg

I want to upgrade It, and probably I wont need cold dmg as I have unique jewel that gives me % cold dmg

What would you do?:

1) go for a high dps bow (500dps)
2) go for a 400-430 dps bow with +1 additional Arrow

Additional Arrow gives a lot of extra damage too right? What would be best?
Tbh since div price is getting low, I dont really want to spend more than 15k on the bow as I dont profit from the Game that much, I just have fun

Thoughts please

Up

Btw the upgrade would be another dual strike now as base

400 dps to 500 dps bow is a massive, massive jump. This is a 20% base damage addition which is the damage pool from which you will scale all of the rest of your damage multiplicatively. Unless the extra projectile can exceed that damage increase, go for the base damage because that will scale all of your arrows instead of just adding one more. This is unless you have special interactions like chaining.

Yeah im unsure about how much more dmg that extra projectile would give me and if thats more helpful for bosses and map clear...

if your dmg is already high enough to oneshot the trash mobs then i‘d go for the additional arrow. it drastically increases your map clear speed.
for bosses i think the higher dmg might be better.

This, if you need AOE, or your damage is already 1 shotting mobs, go for the cheaper version with the extra projectile.

Id say 400dps bow with +1 proj should be equal in power with a 500 until you shoot 5 arrow witout having the +1 bow
Also dont know much aboit the bow skill in game
But it would be situational
Better if all arrow got shotgun effect vs bosses
Otherwise for clearing lots of alternative for chain reaction that explode screen

Look atk spd too with all the added flat from quiver and ingenuity + breach rings

My 343 dps bow beat 450 with a good quiver and rings since it was 1.49 aps
