User:Sacraficia/Read the Wind vs. Rapid Fire

Hey, this is a project where I'm trying to figure out what has better DPS, Rapid Fire or Read the Wind. Please contribute if you have the time.

=Requirements=
 * 14 Marksman (so that both Read the Wind (RTW) and Rapid Fire (RF) last 24 seconds).
 * PvP _______ (Chose type of bow here) No Mods/Inscriptions +20% (Customized, default for PvP)
 * Attack the AL 60 opponent. Your opponent shouldn't die but will come close to it. The 60 armor will give us the best results.

=Procedure=
 * 1) Take your bow of choice (longbow, hornbow, shortbow, recurve bow) and go outside the Great temple of Balthazar.
 * 2) Position yourself so that you are at your bow's maximum range and don't be on any hills(small bumps in the ground are not hills), stairs or anything that would give you bonus damage.
 * 3) Turn on your preparation and then start firing away at the dummy.
 * 4) Record each shot that hits and then when the last arrow that has been effected by the preparation, stop.
 * 5) Add up your total damage for that trial and start with the other preparation.
 * 6) Repeat until you have the desired amount of trials.
 * 7) Add up your trial totals to get one big number. Then, find the DPS as explained in the last paragraph.

Please record the number of trials you did, the total amount of damage for all your trials for both skills and the DPS for both skills (explained bellow).

Try to do 5-10 trials. I'm trying to get a wide assortment of data so that I can eliminate most human error. Record the totals for all your trials and then divide it by your number of trials and then by 24 (the number of seconds that each lasted) to get DPS which you put in the chart.
