Fang map. Including skill attacks and auto attacks, which does more damage to that boss, factoring in the boss's armor.

    I think the answer is going to be longbow, but the real question is how much? Does the longbow do 10% more dmg? 20% more dmg?
    Oke here's your answer!
    Considering that dagger is 2x more DPS than longbow, you will do 2x more DPS. However, longbow has more range and you'll probably hit the boss half the time longbow does. So, that's probably going to cancel out. Now let's check the base damage of your weapons. Skills are based on base damage, not DPS. The base damage estimate for your dagger is like 120-125. The longbow's is 195-235. Now, let's see how much more is 125 to 235. We're going to do the equation for percent of change here. Difference/Original number. Which is 110/125. So the answer is .88. .88 means 88%. So I'd say about 90% difference. That is if you don't tank... Taking right by boss is completely different. Don't make me solve that lol!

    ANSWER IS: ABOUT 90%

    If practice makes perfect and perfection is impossible, why practice?
    Oh, wait... No need to practice. iHax.
