Multishot vs. Strafe!!!

[bakakage]

Sorry if this is over discused or anything of the like. But which one, in your opinion, is better? Please give a reason, too!!! I can't decide which one is better!!!!

[Shanksie1337]

plz do a search, as you are right, this topic has been done to death.

Also your question is rather vague, better for what? pvp/pvm?

as for my opinion:
for pvm Strafe
i don't pvp, but MS seems to be the skill of choice

but plz use the search function.

I suggest multishot. I clean pits with this skill prety good with my dexazon, and in pvp multi helps to control oponent movement to insert accurate guided rocket in the butt

------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you like to shoot like a Machine gun go for STRAF if you want to Shoot like a shotgun go for MULTI


First of all if you can't decide please make a save file of your charachter en test for your slef wich one you like most oke?


And i only give more comment to STRAFE because i never use MULTI

Why STRAFE?
------------------

Reason1: The skill looks cool and have pretty good damage if used right

Reason2: Strafe is very effectif on single monsters shooting 10 errows through monste head within 2 seconds and if you got high atack rating and high damage bow and very fast atack speed you can say Bye to that monster very fast :howdy:

Reason3: Strafe damage takes dexderity into acount or something :scratch:

Reason4: Its good on single and packs of monsters if used and timed corectly :spy:

Reason5:Not to FORGET! with strafe you got that AUTO ameing wich is very usefull just like guided erow das seeks the target like heat seeking missle but with strafe you got heat seeking missle'S.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Downside of STRAFE

Downside1: Straf Lock, you can't move for a short time until strafe atack is finished so that leaved you open for an monster atack so be careful when using it

Downside2: You wil need high atack rate to make STRAFE usefull and effectif!!
iam talking about 6000 to 8000 atack rate in hell
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why MULTI
------------------
The good things
---------------------
Reason1: Its shoots arows in wider range with less damage than STRAFE

Reason2: Its saver to use than STRAFE

Reason3: If you got super fast bow it can shoot more arows over time then STRAFE don;t find it usefull at all

----------------------------------
The Bad things about MULTI

Bad1:Also need high atack rate to make it usefull

Bad2: 1 SKill point spended gives you 1 erow in return

Bad2: Very bad vechting of single monsters and bosses
-----------------------------------------------------------------

My suggestion

IF i where you i would go for STRAFE and thats what most people choose.

point are beter wasted in freezing arow and strafe and maybe pentrate for more atack rate and valky for pure bow zon, but i would rather pick a higbrid
between Lightning fury, strafe and Freezing arow.

I hope i was of any help to you :wave:

Also, in 1.10 only the two middle arrows of a Multi-Shot volley carry special effects (like chance to cast amp damage, etc . . .)

[Omikron8]

Strafe hands down in 1.10

Multishot only triggers effects on the two middle arrows of a volley so amp damage is no longer a big threat when combined with multishot. Luckily every strafe arrow can trigger amp damage and you are more likely to find narrow packs of monsters than big thick packs like the cow level.

Strafe also allows us who are lazy at heart to just hold down a button and fire at multiple moving opponents in any direction (just don't get strafelocked by melee opponents and make sure to have valk out at all times).

Have you ever seen a 100% piercing 8/2 strafe with upgraded witchwild string? A beautiful and deadly sight :)

Also as mentioned above strafe has taken the place of guided arrow for killing bosses as strafe allows a minimum of 7 arrows at one target at a level 20 strafe skill. Therefore it doubles as a crowd killing skill and a boss killing skill.
