Why does my bow (bottom one) have much lower DPS despite triple T1 phys rolls? Am I missing something?

Hi,
I’m a bit confused and I feel like I must be missing an important mechanic.

The bottom bow has 3× T1 physical damage rolls(well rolled), yet its DPS is significantly lower than the top one. On paper the phys rolls look great, but in practice the DPS just doesn’t match.

I already checked:

  • item level
  • quality
  • runes

Still, the DPS difference feels way too large for what I’m seeing.

Because one is an Obliterator bow which has a base damage of 62-115, and the other is an Artillery bow which does 39-72. It is significantly worse.

Different bases. Not bow user this league but I believe Obliterator is the higher damage base.

Artillery bow seems to be the lower level version of the Obliterator bow (same implicit but I assume different initial damage ranges even at equivalent ilvl).

Oh damn it stumped me for a bit but you have a mid game base. This think on an oblitorator bow would be like 800 dps

Look at the required level at the top next time. As it has been answered already, yeah it's a worse base

By far the best lvl 65 bow for starting off endgame, but would that been on an obliterator bow, that would have been probably mirror tier or close
