would an upgraded Buriza be better then a Windforce?

I was looking at the math and you have a max damage possiblity of 520 with the burriza and 547 with the Windforce. But the Buriza has an attack speed of -60 while the Windforce is only -10. Also the Buriza has pierce and freeze target.

Wondering if an upgraded Buriza would be one of the better bow's in the game or even just better then the windforce....thanks :)

No, because crossbows are slower than bows. And there's no reason to uprade Buriza anyway, you get slightly higher dmg and much higher str requirement.

Heya,

Certainly not and the reason is literally speed. Xbows do not behave like Bows do, and are capped at how fast they can go. So that massive IAS that you see on the Buriza is misleading. A Windforce on the other hand will pump out huge damage as well, but it can be made to fire much faster. The faster bow will win in the damage department, even if it has less damage than the Burrito.

Up a Buriza if you don't have access to a Windforce.

imo the strength requirements of an upped buriza is a little too much.. those points should go to vitality (~150 life) or dexterity (~50% off-weapon dmg + AR) instead.

i believe a plain un-upped buriza has great damage as it is already=)

however a windforce trumps either version of the buriza due to its speed=)
