Since our posts in the balance thread were OT i'm moving the discussion here. I find dual shot to do around 100 damage less than shield pierce. Granted it's cheaper and has a shorter cooldown. I agree the passives are better. Break Apart vs Tear Apart, I find they both rock. the -20 const takes an imediate chunk of health away. the damage over time though is a bit lower and the duration is a bit long. Tear Apart doesn't have the imediate health loss but has a higher dot and lower duration. I think they pretty much even out. But the real question is, given that I find the damage to be about the same over a certain time period. Why choose short and loose all that range? If I had more damage spells it would be obvious, I'd want to get off as many attacks as soon as possible. But I have 2. I thinking about sticking to long until I get to lvl 37 and possibly switching. Rep shot is one hellva skill. And maybe by then I might be able to find a fast range 25 bow, so I don't loose too much range.
