So, you take dps in tooltip and multiply it by how many arrows you shoot?

You don't multiple the LA does in tooltip by how many projectiles you shoot to get the total? As in, I do 7kdps, and maybe shoot 7 projectiles. My dps would be 49k, right?

It is difficult to make that assessment. More arrows will help LA clear faster but its not right to say 7x7 = 49k dps due to the way LA works and the fact you are not going to shotgun all 7 arrows onto a single target.

With that said, the more arrows you have, the faster you will clear and the more single target you will have.

Yeah, that's understood. Now, are there other things that are also not factored into the tooltip dps?

The only purpose of tooltip dps is to compare relative gains in gear/passive changes or to compare two very similar builds but as a metric to actually measure how fast you clear a map or kill a boss, it is fairly useless.The best example is that a 14,000 dps gmp kinetic blast will clear much faster than a 40,000 dps reave with iaoe gem. It can give a generalized baseline - for example: lightning arrow with 5 arrows and 40,000 paper dps will smoothly clear even A t16 map.

Builds that ostensibly advertise milions dps in the title generally have terrible clear speed.
The only that matters in this game is how fast you can clear a T16,T15,T14 etc map.

I noticed in one of your videos that it appears that you have full mana reserved and that you aren't using any mana when using LA?

Which?

@nephalim

hi, played your ele bow marauder and some patches later scion build. If I remember correctly.

Dumb question. Hope i get a neutral answer. But i thinnk you are one of the least trolling and honest "long time" player in this forum.
For grinding to 100 and kill one time shaper and uatziri would you prefer your ele bow build or the poison barage king of the forest variant?

I have not played poison bow but ele LA is imo the stronger 100 runner.
Poison is much better at grinding shaper/guardians/uber atziri.
