Now, let's go through the pros and cons of Arrow Blow and Double Shot in depth.


when maxed, arrow blow fires one arrow, at 230% damage, costing 14 mp, double shot, costs 16 mp, at higher levels this may seem insignifigant, but at lower levels, it can make a big difference.
When mastered, Arrow Blow fires one arrow at 260% damage, costing 14 MP while Double Shot costs 16 MP. At higher levels this may seem insignificant, but at lower levels, it can make a big difference.


Though many have overlooked this, enemies actually get double resistance on double shot than arrow blow. Lets say a bowman does 200 dmg normal, 400 with arrow blow, and two 200's with double shot. he's fighting a monster that can steal 50 dmg from his hit, becuse of a large amount of defense, so his arrow blow wud do 350, wile his double shot would do 150 each, totaling in 300.
Though many have overlooked this, enemies actually get double resistance when using Double Shot than Arrow Blow. Let's say a bowman does 200 damage normally, 520 with Arrow Blow, and two hits for 260 each with Double Shot. The bowman will have more chances to hit critcal with Double Shot, resulting ih a higher average damage. It is important to remember that [[Critical Shot]] adds 100% damage, rather than doubling it.


Though this is rather insignifigant, you need 1 point in arrow blow to start maxing double shot, thusly using up a point.
Though this is rather insignificant, you need 1 point in Arrow Blow to unlock Double Shot, thusly using up a point.


Some argue that it is insignifigant, the different between the arrow costs of the two abilities, being as arrows are only 1 meso each, but what of when the player uses bronze or steel arrows? then they will start loosing money.
Arrow Blow uses up one arrow while Double Shot uses two arrows. The difference between the arrow costs of the two abilities, being as arrows are only 1 meso each, doesn't leave that much of an impact.
 
Lastly, this is really a matter of opinion, Arrow blow has a lesser chance to crit, but if it does, it will do more damage, while double shot has a better chance to crit, with lesser damage.

Perosnally i would have to say that i beleive arrow blow is better, but it is really a matter of opinion, it will not hurt you a bit in the long term if you choose one over the other, just when a guide says to max one or the other, and ignores the other one, simply think to yourself, "which one do i REALLY want?" and make your decision.
The matter is an argument of damage over knockback. It will not hurt you a bit in the long term if you choose one over the other.

Argument

Now, let's go through the pros and cons of Arrow Blow and Double Shot in depth.

When mastered, Arrow Blow fires one arrow at 260% damage, costing 14 MP while Double Shot costs 16 MP. At higher levels this may seem insignificant, but at lower levels, it can make a big difference.

Though many have overlooked this, enemies actually get double resistance when using Double Shot than Arrow Blow. Let's say a bowman does 200 damage normally, 520 with Arrow Blow, and two hits for 260 each with Double Shot. The bowman will have more chances to hit critcal with Double Shot, resulting ih a higher average damage. It is important to remember that Critical Shot adds 100% damage, rather than doubling it.

Though this is rather insignificant, you need 1 point in Arrow Blow to unlock Double Shot, thusly using up a point.

Arrow Blow uses up one arrow while Double Shot uses two arrows. The difference between the arrow costs of the two abilities, being as arrows are only 1 meso each, doesn't leave that much of an impact.

Conclusion

The matter is an argument of damage over knockback. It will not hurt you a bit in the long term if you choose one over the other.
