Double Shot (Bowman)
Double Shot and Arrow Blow are the two offensive abilities that Bowmen get in their first job. While most players are abstinent that Double Shot is more powerful than Arrow Blow, it must be understood that both abilities have their uses.
Double Shot grants 130% damage to one arrow but fires twice. It has two chances to strike a critical in every execution. It can be simply assumed that it is better than Arrow Blow since learning Double Shot requires one level of Arrow Blow and that it costs 2 mp more than Arrow Blow.
PROS
- 2 chances to strike a critical
- greater consistancy
While many people say that Double Shot is for bows, others claim otherwise. This believe is, however, not without basis. Bows do pretty little damage compared to crossbows, this means that by using Double Shot, the hunter gets a damage boost to the level of what a crossbowman can deal. Unlike the crossbowman, who depends heavily on knock back, the hunter fires extremely fast and is likely to be able to dismember the monster in a few shot.
