Yumi vs Composite Bow

[BigL]

I have some RFKs I want to use to make some bows. I have a new archer and am torn between the 2 bows. I will want to do some doom and pvp with them. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Yumis are great and very very valuable if they are good, but extremely hard to craft. Ive burned a whole kit and only gotten 3 exceptional before. Composites are much easier to make. The dps isnt much less in pvm and they are a must weapon to have usually in pvp.

yumi vs darkfather is almost 2x damage vs a comp bow, if the bows are equal.

So, this is the dilemma you have -
On one hand, Yumi's do more damage but are hard to craft (a lot of non exceptionals :/)
On the other hand, Composites are easier to craft but less damage.

You're more likely to get a good composite than a good yumi. Both are extremely good for pvm, so I'd suggest for safety go comp bow, yumi's are the more risky route.

burn all your yew kits on yumis you wont feel so bad when u dont get anything.

pvm > yumi
pvp > comp

without Bushi - yes
with 120 Bushi - you are wrong
chance of second hit from Double depends on Bushi
P.S.: but comp you must have anyway

bushi on the pvp archer is only for confidence. imo, a waste of points...
it has sense only on the pvm, for the perfection effect and a ls template.

you are right, 99% dont run Bush 120 in pvp builds
but we are talkig about a little bit another thing
im pretty sure (ive tested this) that dps from ABC archer with Yumi would be x1.5 from compisite bow archer without Bush
a great "support-DPS-build" for group pvp....but need very expencive weap

You could just run ninja and still use double shot for pvp....

yeap....or ninja
we are talkin about sense of 120 skillpoints in bush/ninj
the only thing iwanna say - DPS 120ninja/bush archer with DoubleShot is x1.5 times higher from DPS of archer with composite bow or with yumi WITHOUT bush/ninja
120 bush or ninja gives great bonus to second hit chance of Doubleshot witch is 90% blocked by your 45DCI enemies when you are runnin non-bush/ninja template
