I've already gave my responses to that in the 1st post I made in the thread. Compare if 1.8x more damage range will win over 1.6x more skill damage which is what you're actually looking at. Cross Surge vs Final Cut, difference is, Cross Surge doesn't need to charge up the skill, can be auto casted, cuts off a % of damage from all mobs and most bosses, and doesn't require buff duration inner ability however, expects you to be at 100% hp most of the time if not all the time. Time saved is extra DPS already if you ask me. From there you compare whether if its worth the time to use Arrow Blaster or use Rapid Fire or use Mille, that's your final conclusion to your answer. I mentioned not to use a Bowmaster's video because:
A) The damage is nearly half of Bowmaster's because its missing hyper and already nerfed from stolen skill
B) Summon duration is either shorter than theirs or theirs is the same as ours (I would believe the former, but haven't went and tested yet)
C) If they're not using both turrent and the actual skill it doesn't really show you how fast it is because Hurricane is not the same. To be honest, just apperance wise and sound effects, I'm fairly certain the actual skill itself is slower than the turrent probably because the summon is using server timings or its just nerfed in that way. I'm not going to record videos for anyone, but the difference in speed after the patch is correct.
You know, if you had the same said no CD final cut you could just switch skills from Final Cut into another skill that you'd want to use like rapid fire after you gained the buff. The only issue being the downtime before you can use them again. Also remember that hits per second doesn't equal damage per second, I said Arrow blaster is weaker because DPS wise, its weaker, however that may not be true for HPS. I can also compare Arrow blaster vs Cross surge, doesn't matter if you use Final cut as 4th skill or not because I can also use both Cross Surge and no CD Final cut along with Mille and then I have easily have more than enough DPS compared to Arrow Blaster. The next one would be Rapid Fire vs Final cut, I never once said I gave an answer for that. I simply said there are different uses for both situations and will not go into mathematics for which would win assuming you can stand all day in 1 spot and never once take a hit from a boss (almost impossible scenario unless you're fighting stationary ones).
