  *Dex as of current Dexterity stats
  *Character Max as of Equipment/Accessory Enchants
  *Max Damage as of Bow Enchants (Nobility Thornlotus) + Bow Stats
  *Piercing 1 level = 5 protection reduction (NOT the actual protection)
  *Crit Damage: R6 (312%), R5 (300%), R0 (250%)
  
  *DPS equation: [(70% of non-crit dmg) + (30% of crit dmg)]
  
  *Protection/Actual Protections:

  *Protection Mob Info (KOREAN):

  TL;DR
  
  1)DKB > R6 HLB if your max bow damage is lower than 680 (w/HLB)
  2)R6 HLB > DKB if your max bow damage is higher than 680 (w/HLB)
  3)Bhafel hunter has the highest dps among all threes
  
  
  And also few interesting notes:
  
  *Bone dragon summon effect will INCREASE piercing damage %
  (Lower the prot, better the piercing effect will be)
  *RIP Ego Bows
  *Not too much damage difference in protection above 75+

  Interesting. I guess I'll look into DKB a little since my range damage is pretty shitty.

  This, seriously!
  
  Literally takes years/months to raise them, and yet a bow that you can obtain with a single dollar outclasses it.

  Also the bhafel hunter damage was calculated without the huntress. Despite rumors DKB can't be used with huntress, and the higher your ele reforge is, the more effect the huntress has to your damage (as it is a multiplier on your elemental reforge and not additive). With an ele4/4 bow you jump from 66.66% damage to 91.65% damage.
  
  Either way the bhafel hunter is much stronger than either bow (where it actually matters, doesn't matter if r6 HLB out-dps r5 bhafel hunter on grey foxes).

  Just multiply the bhafel's damage by 1.15.

  True. Although the damage would still be greater with/without it.

  are those protection values the highest that one will encounter at those level of missions?

  Not at all. It's just more practical values.

  So you only need like 540 max for an HLB to be better than a DKB then? Since just about everyone should be running around with at least a 26% Overture.
