The arsenal gives charge damage? Well that's rather dumb :D I thought they had given bows a buff or something... devide all those numbers by 2.5 than.

I have no idea how armour works, so that is indeed not taken into account. Rhino has a lot of armour for instance, but in my experience he dies just as quick as everybody else ones Iron Skin is down. In fact my Ash seems to be a lot more survivable than my Rhino, but I'm probably doing something wrong with Rhino.

Anyway, regardless of what the numbers end up being, my point was regarding whether the slash damage makes this bow bad versus armour. Slash damage is only a marginal part of the total damage done and while Pharis Prime will obviously do better, I am curious to see how much of a difference it will really make. Depending on whether elemental damage is calculated before or after resitance to the basic damage types is taken into consideration the difference is respectively huge or pretty much neglactable. One would assume the first though.
