argument
Now, lets 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.
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 this is rather insignifigant, you need 1 point in arrow blow to start maxing 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.
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.
Conclusion
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.
