The name says it all. I'm mostly concerned with Pvp, but I'm wondering of the two you think is better, or what advantages they have over each other. Personally, I prefer Dual Shot, and I use Kindle Arrows to compound the added damage on the two arrows.

Would really depend on the rest of your skillbar. Post what you have so we can advise you properly.

for PvP neither, but if you insist on using one than definatly [dual shot] as [power shot] is completely useless, just a terrible skill...

dual shot for the benefit of preps on 2 arrows.

Although you can fire power shot faster, dual shot makes a better skill combined with preps as mentioned above.

The only thing i would take power shot with is along other 1 sec recharge skills with a hornbow because of its slow refire rate.

Dual shot is better. It is better for essentially everything PvP and PvE. Powershot is one of the worst skills ever made.

if your brother only has prophecies [[natural stride] is not in his build

^ Lol.

Dual Shot is way better than Power Shot.

I like to use Triple Shot + Nightmare Weapon in PvE

90 or so health stealing.

The Ghostly Hero would have to disagree!

Seriously though, dual is better Eragon Zarroc nailed it, double the effect of any preps/buffs on you.

If those are your only two chocies (which they shouldn't be) run [Dual shot].

It even doubles the duration of poison!!

Seriously tho, Dual shot is better. I used to use Read the Wind + Conjure Fire from my ele secondary (with Fiery bowstring), dual shot just benefits a lot more from those than power shot (I only had proph, and it was in the southern shiverpeaks where there's tons of ice elementals

)

I think there's something funny I'd like to mention about the use of Power shot being rapid-fire at 1sec activation. The thing with 1 or 1/2 attack skills is how fast they can fire compared to those with no activation time (being same as your normal attack) and they practically bypass the fire/recharge stats of each bow. You could do something such as a normal attack then hit power shot for a quick second hit which gets you ready for the next skill you need and it has more effect compared to the 25% dmg reduction on both arrows. Also the +5..17..21 really helps.
