| Im horrible at math...so dont poke fun.
I was wondering...playing against monstrous creatures with Dark Reapers....which shots I should use..
assuming I have cast guide and doom on respective targets, shooting at something T6 and above... Is it better to use the S5 double shot, or the S8 single shot? | |

| ignoring hit and saves and damage (not sure both 1 right?)
without doom vs t6: After hitting with 1 s8 shot: 0.66 average After hitting with 2 s5 shot: 0.66 average
With doom: After hitting with 1 s8 shot: 0.88 average After hitting with 2 s5 shot: 1.11 average
So with doom (reroll all failed to wound right?) the lower strength is slightly better.

| Assuming a 3+ save and/or 5++ with Guide and Doom the S5 does 1.32 damage on average against T6, whereas the S8 does 1.58
T6 - 1.32 (1.58) T7 - 1.32 (1.58) T8 - 1.32 (1.33) T9 - 1.32 (0.99) T10 - 0.72 (0.99)
So basically, the S5 shots are better against T9 but worse or equal against anything else (unless you get to T16+) _________________ You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting. In what world could you possibly beat me? | |

| thank you much! I was playing a game earlier, and had a unit of 5 dark reapers trying to take down two demon princes. Luckily he made a few mistakes (chasing after chaff) and I was able to down his last demon prince right in front of my Dark Reapers!
So in conclusion....you want to use two shots at T5 and lower, or T9 | |
