1) I was not counting headshots.

2) My power strength is 100%, no more.  My build is for max efficiency.

3) With a regular Flow (not even Primed Flow) I have 525 Energy.  Artemis Bow is using 4 energy per shot.  This is equivelent to 131 shots - and each shot fires THIRTEEN arrows instead of just one.  This is more "ammo" than any of the normal bows, and once the multishot nerf hits, it'll matter even more.

Now, yes, this does not take into account Prowl's drain, but that drain is around 1/second when moving, and 0.25/second when standing still, again with my maxed efficiency build. I cleared the whole Exterminate in less than 2.5 minutes (with no help other than an Excal with a well-modded but still horribly outclassed Braton Prime who I had to revive 3 times and who did 4% of the total mission damage). Using a single energy restore to reach 525 at the start of the mission I still had over 200 at mission end.

And I have yet to see a Dread put out 80,000x12 damage. That's 960,000 damage if all arrows hit (which is not hard to do if you aim center mass and fire vertically, which is also much faster than charging a horizontal shot - or charging any bow shot, save perhaps the Rakta Cernos, but then we're not even vaguely close on damage.)  And this is not counting the 1 more arrow that doesn't crit, so it's probably a cool million per shot. The fact that you CAN orient this horizontlly and, with punch-thru, clear 10+ enemies in a single shot only makes the already better-than-actual-bows ammo economy even better.

Am I fanboying out a bit here? Absolutely. Does that make me wrong? Nope. Artemis Bow is now the best bow in the game, period.
