Explosive arrow. Empower vs slower projectiles

As the topic says im not sure about my 6. link.

Whats the better choice a lvl 3 (maybe 4) empower or a maxed slower projectiles?

Thx for helping me

Personally I'm not a fan of slower projectiles. The strength of EA is the ability for multiple explosions to overlap with one another. Empower allows more overlapping than slower proj while still adding dps.

thanks a lot

Well, I just ran the numbers on a level 20 EA. Double checked on L21 one time, and it appears the scaling is consistent.

Slower Projectiles = 29% more damage
Level 3 Empower = 25% more damage
Level 4 Empower = 40% More Damage

L4 Empower wins hands down. L3 maybe?

Actually,slower projectiles with 20% quality is 39% damage ,but yeah ,this is a necro :(

Actually, 20/20%q slower projectiles is 29% more damage, 10% increased damage, not 39% more.

you mean 10% increased proj damage doesn's do anything? oh that's sad.

Well it does exactly what it say, 10% increase projectile damages. "Increase" damages is not the same as "more" damages.

But he says that 20 quality 20 level gem increases damage for 29% while gem has base 29 % more damage mod.i mean 29% more damage + 10% increased Damage must make more than just 29% more damage,right?

Yeah of course you do more than just 29%, but 10% increase is so small that the difference is barely noticeable.
