Before you post again, I want you to get out a piece of paper and write 100 times, "'lol' is not a word."

Wouldn't you get more dps out of going into barrage and keeping the same rotation with arcane and multi?

I thought so too, which is why I am currently specced that way. But, after going through my WWS parses, I see that I am using multishot very infrequently (~10% of my damage). Usually, it is because there are sheeped targets nearby, but other times it is because I just need to move so much that I restart my cast sequence. Since multi is my second special in the 1:1.5 rotation, it gets used less then arcane on fights where it is reset constantly.

Or, are you that much more efficient with the arcane rotation that it makes the difference?

This arcane rotation is big upgrade in DPS, especially for high armored targets, according to the spreadsheet. If you have a bow slow enough with good latency, I think it is pretty good. The highest DPS rotation that I found with the spreadsheet is this:

auto->SS->arcane->auto->multi->auto->SS->arcane->auto->steady

Basically, the normal 1:1.5, but using 2 arcanes as the specials and replacing 1 steady with a multi. That raises my DPS by about 100 over the standard 1:1.5 rotation. Unfortunately, with my lag, I think I need a 3.0 bow to pull it off and none has dropped yet.

Also, how do you handle kill command, I have it into my macro?

I don't think there is room in a 1:1.5 rotation for kill command since it may delay your auto shot. I took it out of mine.
