Ascensions are better at QBD, Legiones, Araxxor (the range isn't important and in fact makes it worse for P4), and Raids. RotS too if you're incite tanking on Ahrim's side.

Mod Reach named a duck after Erin (Saber Six), an Old School streamer, which got people really pissed off for some reason lol.
Wait til they find out about Nieve!
How much better are ascensions, if you don't mind me asking? Or is it a case of "omg 0.1% dps better"?
Range is nice for Araxxor, too. I stand 1 square from MD on P4 so I'm not sure what your P4 comment is about
Nox bow is better at Raids if you're a PT because you can attack jellies whilst being resuscitated (Ascensions don't have that range), I'm pretty sure the damage you deal on that jelly more than makes up for any DPS increase from Needle Strike.

justice might have a video about it
I like my nox bow, but it is so much more convenient/dps to use ascensions for raids or in other situations where you need defensive abilities. Instead of dropping down to darkbow dps for geysers and pets, you can just equip a defender and be much better off.
Of course, even owning one takes a bit of work, and it is far easier to just buy darkbows or t90 shields...
For Araxxor, you stand a bit farther away with Ascensions at near max range. Right before 25k, you run out of range, stall Snapshot, then immediately Rapid Fire back after clicking on Araxxi so the adrenaline drain doesn't affect you at all.
Ascensions are more than just that extra bonus from Needle Strike. Autoattacks that slip by while using defensives/Shadow Tendrils add up over time making it ideal for longer fights like Araxxor and Raids that push the gap between Ascensions and the bow wider.
