And it has diminishing returns when you hit 42 wis, right?
YOu can hit that with wis being your second stat, but some people put everything in wis, nothing in str.
Don't get Axer on me but here goes:
38 wis yields 1.8784 arrows per shot
42 wis yields 2.0005 arrows per shot
46 wis yields 2.1341 arrows per shot
70 wis yields 2.805 arrows per shot
Delta between 38 and 42 is 0.1221
Delta between 42 and 46 is 0.1336
Delta between 46 and 70 is 0.6464
So as you can see your returns actually increase around 42 wis.
At much much higher values your returns are diminished (not possible to get there as a secondary stat and very buff intensive as a main stat).
Regardless of the cutoff point where returns are diminished (not near 42) that is not the point rather as that the returns from wis still out weigh returns from your damage stat.
Keep in mind that more arrows shot are more adrenaline generated as well.
