Ding ding - it is death's opus :) And im not calculating the damage twice x]

Additional arrows are added to (x projectiles) where X is 3 bow + 3 barrage + 2 helm + 1 quiver (9 two less than the Reach) but thanks to some magic and differences it has overall higher dps with less arrows.

Death opus does not have more DPS, the damage per hit is almost the same, but reach got 2 more arrows, and the total for me is about 23% more damage with reach (I did the math before)

415 dps seems like its more than ~360 reach :S compeltly discarding all the other mods of opus is plain wrong.

No no no,

I think you got it all wrong here...

Death opus with max roll have 206 DPS, and 2 arrows, but it has a 150% crit damage,

Reach has in ave 360 DPS and 4 arrows, no crit damage, but attack speed is higher then opus (1.32 vs 1.5 ave) so flat damage is more usful with the reach,

After testing it, the damage per hit is about the same with bouth bows, but reach got 2 more hits (and each hit is just abit stronger with my perfect gear, i got 94% crit chance with power charges, and alot of flat physical and chaos).

I hope now it's nore clear

You dont need increased critical strikes with opus - can replace it with only worth slot gem for poison builds.

yes, and still, after tests, it's 23% less damage (again, with my setup)

Not sure whats the setup, but its 10-15% better than the one posted in OP :S

Could you post calculations ? (How much accuracy you had during the test ?)

Also how high was a crit chance and did you swap proj weakness for assasins mark ? (9% additional crit)

I will when I have the time, remember i'm working on the new trading and communications app - LetsPlay POE

What 5L would you do? Not sure if I should roll it all green and drop the crit or drop one of the more modifiers. Having issues with survivability in lab. I would swap to helm at the same time to keep resists mostly capped. Don't have currency for reach or cospri atm. I do have snakebites in stash.

unfortunately prices are skyrocketing.. the bow is climbing 4.5exalts and more and cospri's way more..
