Which is better to use on a new server, Bow of Cataclysm or Rift Bow T2?

Question

What is better to use on "new" server, price of both items is the same (crafting rift is about 8-10kk, cataclysm is like 9kk, falcon bow is unaccessable at all)

Cataclysm has +2 distance and +1 atk comparing to rift

atm im using rift, and i love the FATAL effect and it trigger pretty often on t2, but im thinking if it will be game-changer to change it to bow of cata...

Answer 1

Following Tibia WIki stats Onslaught tier 2 provides 0.65% extra damage (this is damage overall) while every skill point reduce close to -2 base damage, and every attack damage reduce -5 points (at least on my level 380), my base damage is 322, so losing +2 dist and +1 atk is equal to -9 damage, 2.8% less damage per autoattacks, now, assuming autoattacks is only 50% it rounds to 1.4% damage loss, in the other hand the onslaught damage increase affect all your attacks so is net 0.65% extra damage.

With that said the results show that by upgrading to Bow of cataclysm your damage should perform 0.75% better than with rift bow.
