Hurricane better than Arrow Blaster?

Well since upgraded hurricane is 276%, and Arrow Blaster is 220%. Soooo Hurricane > Arrow Blaster? Not taking the turret in acount of course

You need to hit the key that "Chat/Harvest" is assigned to. Default is space.

[quote=Sayku]@NeoBowmaster: Yeah same here. There was speculation that you won't d/c if you use the skill that locks in your quiver while doing Dual blaster but I can confirm it doesn't work. Just tried it and it d/c'd me twice before the buff even wore off.[/quote]
Seems like where you DC is determined by where you are/what you're fighting. DIPQ and easy Magnus are 2 places where I can promise you won't dc with blaster, probably because those places are instanced or not locked into one, but I can't be sure, just hope Nexon fixes the issue soon.

[quote=Sayku]Honestly I only do Hurri + turret because Blaster + Turret = d/c for me ._.[/quote]

Everyone is doing that I'm afraid, it is a known issue that Nexon has acknowledged and can be found in their "Known Issues" list. I really hope they addressed it and patched it during this coming game update.

@froogle: In the fly update, it changes so that the hypers affect both blaster and cane
So I'm guessing it doesn't as of right now http://orangemushroom.wordpress.com/2013/10/17/kms-ver-1-2-202-maplestory-fly-lets-maple/

[quote=DejaConnu]Damage-wise, blaster is better. But hurricane has more mobility + seeking arrows, so it really depends on the monster/boss. Once jump comes around, their damage is almost equal.[/quote]

JUMP? That patch happened ages ago.

@NeoBowmaster: Ok didn't know blaster was only 11.11, I had heard from several people it was 12. I knew the hypers didn't work on cane yet, but they will so it doesn't make much difference

@NeoBowmaster: Reinforce skills are % Total Damage, and not a straight multiplier unless you have zero % Boss Damage and % Total Damage.

Arrow Blaster is better than Flaming Hurricane because of the attacking speed. Arrow Blaster is 90 ms = 11.11 per second, and Flaming Hurricane is 120 ms = 8.33 per second.

Arrow Blaster: 220 / 0.09 = 2444.44% damage per second
Flaming Hurricane: 276 / 0.12 = 2300% damage per second

[quote=froogle]Blaster hits 12 times per second, hurricane hits 8.33333333333333333333333. So that's why blaster is better even with lower %. And the hypers are supposed to affect both blaster and cane[/quote]

Blaster hits 11.11 times per second (according to @bluebomber24) and the hypers related to blaster ONLY affect blaster at this point (Which is 264% with the 20% reinforce:blaster hyper). Blaster hypers will affect cane in a future game update (Likely the FLY update).

according to DPS charts which are solely % based, it says blaster+blaster is better than hurricane + blaster

Blaster has hyper skills that make it stronger too.
