      Most versatile arrow is Arrow of Many targets, if you're playing a ranger, stock up on these if you see them.
      Sharpshooter seems to apply the flat 10+ damage once it starts spreading to other targets, and they also inherit your weapon coating so it maximizes poisons.

      • Arrow of Many Targets (not listed) has a bug where on additional hits it calculates any hit chance modifiers BEFORE checking for a critical hit or miss. That means you can roll a 1, have +19 in hit chance and still crit hit. Of course since it does half damage on secondary targets, these crits only end up doing "normal" damage, but they effectively ignore enemy AC.
