Fair enough. Any shot at it summoning maybe two arrows at a time though (assuming that is possible)? Maybe summon the arrows conescutively or a 5 arrow lore quiver? I generally spend all the time between bosses on raids doing 1/2 of my normal dps to summon arrows
Thank you for the reply though.
Thank you for the reply though.I am not a dev anymore, but I would be against it summoning more arrows, it is not supposed to provide you with a convenient supply of arrows. The original idea behind it was to give you a source of limited but above average arrows at the cost of meleeing for a time. But who knows where that all went after the arrow revamp.

Arrows really need to be reworked so there is some type of scaling/progression. Banes are ever increasing, ammo melee procs are getting better. However, rangers not only forced into a tradeskill, unlike any other class, but are forced to use the same arrows from the start of them game until T14+.

what if arrows had titys?
The arrows from shadowstorm tbh are not even worth using, you're better off just using bane arrows for dps and its not worth meleeing to try and get meh arrows when elemental arrows work as well or better than the ones summoned through the proc. Which isn't as bad as it was since now quivers are 60 clicks, still suck having so many bane types eating inventory and requiring a tradeskill.
Edit: because apparently obvious things need spelled out.

This makes perfect sense.

Going to assume you are talking about the arrows that come from the sword in which this thread is about (Shadowstorm -> Sky Darkener). That quote is simply too amazing to pass up.
Agree the sword is not worth getting/using unless you are in dire need of +archery skill.

Yep.
Unfortunate that given the title of the of the post that I had edit my post and make it more wordy. Figured it was obvious enough.
Ah well, you understood it at least.
11 damage > 12 damage. Got it.

I would agree with this statement. It just sucks that it reward rangers who log in early for raids and AFK meleeing a target dummy until they have a stack, or simply never log out of the game. Seems like a very broken system. Again, something every other class in the game doesn't have to worry about.
Meh, most raid/6 man bosses don't have more than 4 body types (at least that Ive come across) if its important to cover multiple bane types I use th bandolier and just set it up prior to engage.
Except theres dmg mods to them it appears, parsing has the 11's on par and have less of a hassle.
Tbh though I rarely use them, almost always use bane types and bandolier.
Also which is better dps, meleeing until you get 60 arrows (which can take a while) or just using the ele arrows that whole time...
Betting the math favors ele arrows for most rangers.

Math is hard.
In actuality the statement should read:
6 OR 11 damage is > 12 damage
Since elemental damage is all of nothing, so it will hit for 0 or 6.
Since 1 damage on an arrow is 5% more damage you could then say:
Archery damage modifier of 25% OR 50% > 55%
If only it were that simple.
Almost a year ago actually did the whole "proc arrows for a stack on trash" thing vs ele arrows.
You know what I found? I did far less damage through out the trash clear in total damage getting and using the skydarkeners vs just using ele arrows. (To be clear I rarely use ele arrows)
If it summoned more than one or had a much higher proc rate it wuld be worth it.
As is though either the ele arrows are better long term damage for most clears or learning to use the bandolier. It would be nice if skydarkeners were viable but in parses I have done they were not.
