Also, although, I was literally hitting 250 dmg per second, the bow hitting at 400 every (approximately) 2 seconds would still outdps and do more damage the knucks.

According to these numbers yout Knucks DPS is 250 and your bow DPS is 200. However, you conclude that bow is higher DPS. How did you arrive at this conclusion?

Sorry. I'm not a really math type of person :3

I'm just approximating I guess...The knucks were a little more than a second. I'll give you the stats:

Chromos Diamond Knucks
Slot: Main Hand
Piercing Damage: 30
Attack Speed: 1750
Weight: 3
Level Requirement: 80
Class Required: Ranger
Class Required: Rogue
Hand to Hand: +200

Meteoric Bow

Infinite Uses
Slot: Main Hand
Piercing Damage: 80
Attack Speed: 2900
Proc Skill: Divine Strike
Proc Chance: 5%
Weight: 5
Attack: 50
Energy: 50
Class Required: Ranger

Also, I think skills factored in also count as dps right?

Well I guess I phrased it wrong.

Knucks give more dps, but bow gives more damage. Problem solved

I was thinking of picking up some knucks for fun and I was wondering if its worth it to use defensive spikes since you will always be in close quarter combat?

Defensive spikes is wack... Not worth maxing out. It's like a bootleg version of riposte.

Defensive spike is okay IF: your not above lvl 120 AND your almost a pure dex build.

It is NOT in any way like riposte, certaintly not even like cloak of fire, which at least increases after level 120... Its a broken skill.
