If you’ve seen the movie, you know TJ has forbade you all from putting BRK-accolades in your emails to the BRK Walmart-of-Hunterness Clearinghouse. Well, Grumble /scoffs in TJ’s direction with his email and lays it on thick:

“Dear BRK, Good day sir! First of all - I apologize for this - butyoursiteisthemost… (gasp gasp) … amazingresouceforBMsthereis. (wheeze) Hadda say it. Not that you haven’t heard it before, but Gaia Bless You.

“Now onto business. I have 2 guns: Don Santos Famous Hunting Rifle and Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle. Given your amazing BM guru powers, and since I LOVE to hear the ‘well, either would be good depending on your playstyle’ answer so much, would you honor me with your opinion on the subject.

“Which gun, Obi-Wan BRK, should I use? Grumble the Fisherman, (if you ever need a fish, look me up.)”

While TJ starts her Lil Fury Generator - and if we’re lucky we’ll get a movie - let’s talk about the Famous Don Santos, shall we.The Don Santos is all about proc-rate. If it procs frequently for you, it’ll do more damage. If it doesn’t proc, the WSR is your buddy. Some people see Improved Aspect of the Hawk proc all the time. BRK only sees it go off on killing shots. Your luck my vary with all of this.

Did you know that there is a hullabaloo on the Forums about the Don Santos? There is, really. There are many people who believe that it is The Perfect Weapon because the attack-power procs occur frequently and the attack speed is just perfect for Steady Shot-weaving. “Goodie for Auto/Steady/KC macro-freaks everywhere!” they delight in advertising, “It’s better than everything!”

BRK says, if you have one of these guns, don’t sweat trying to get the other. The difference isn’t worth the hassle. If you get the WSR, why waste 2000 gold on a “similar” gun when that money can be used for so many other upgrades? If you have the DSFHR, why waste DKP on a “similar” gun when your Tier 4 gloves are dropping from the next boss? They are both lovely weapons and you should be happy with either.

But what if you’re in our friend Grumble’s position where you have both. Which do you use?

Frankly, BRK would use the one that looks the coolest, but that’s just how we roll.

But if you’re a numbers-freak and insist on squeezing every single DPS out of your gun and just must know which is The Best, you could make an appointment with Dr. Boom.

Hie thee to Area 52 and find the ranged-attack dummy himself. Clear the area, load 200 bullets into your ammo pouch, clear your DamageMeter and let loose. When you finish those 200 shots, write down your damage total, swap guns, load another 200 bullets, reset your DamageMeters and go at it again.

Compare the totals and there ya go. Why listen to BRK or anybody else when you can go do this testing yourself? Go! Scoot!
