blue bird raises attack rating.
Black bird hits
the argument given in the link is weak. It says that the black is only good if its leveled way up.... what kind of comparison is that? If your going to be a serious bowmen your going to level either bird as high as possible so wth?
AFAIK attack rating determines what range within the damage range of the weapon you using will output. Higher attack rating equals a better chance to reach the higher portion of the damage range.
THe black bird should be looked at as an instant DOT skill. It can't be killed, stopped, stunned etc. it attacks even when your on the floor.
For right now it seems to me that the blue bird would do better for those interested in AOE skills. (mind bow, berserker, autumn wind) Because your attack rating will further the damage on all the enemy effected.
THe black bird will do better in 1v1 situations, because it is instant DOT. guaranteed damage that only expires when the bird runs out of time.
Also seems that most people are talking out of their asses when it comes to birds. Every nub assumes blue bird is better....

Attack Rating (Strikes Tablet): Adds Attack Rating. Attack rating will help you hit closer to your maximum damage. IE. Your physical attack is 200-325, a higher attack rating will help you consistently hit closer to 325.
