Default Dual Shot Vs Penetrating Shot Vs Savage Shot

Well...im currently trying to pick 2 out of these 3 skills and im having problems...lol...ive tried testing these skills against monsters and the results always vary...Dual Shot can either do alot of damage or very little..while penetrating is constant(its recharge time is low too...3s). Savage ..ive tried...but the dmage i get is pathetic..although i know its useful for interrupting the enemy..so...can anyone enlighten me..

It depends on what weapon you're using and what kind of damage build your going for. My Ranger is designed to Maximize single shot damage, so I use the green bow Stinger (an Ivory, so it has 10% Armor penetration) coupled with Kindle Arrows, sometimes Judge's Insight, and Penetrating attack. Now I don't exactly know if all that stacks or not, but if it does, that 50% armor penetration in a single shot coupled with the +20 damage from the combo of Kindle and Judge's. Now, if you were going for an AoE Ranger, Ignite and Dual Shot can't be beat: If you're going for an Interrupter, Savage shot is a must. It all depends on your play style and how you feel you use your ranger best.

Penetrating Shot is a constant 20% penetration. It does not stack with any other forms of increasing penetration, this ia because it overrides any current penetration you have and changes it to 20%.

As people mentioned - dual is used when you have buffs on you (dmg buffs) - they got x2. Keep in mind mana drain and etc things also count as x2.

Penetration shot works best on high armor - warriors and rangers for example, while on monks and other casters other shots (power) may have more effect.

Savage is good vs casters = interupts and does a pretty much dmg.
