The NextDelay thing is actually a point in WF's favour.
Buriza has a natural speed of 14/4. This is the worst possible speed for the NextDelay. If you shoot a full 10 arrow strafe at a single target, only 5 of them will hit. The strafe takes 50 frames, so it's an average of 10 frames per arrow.
OTOH, WF has a natural speed of 13/3. You'd still give only 5 hits, but it'd only take 40 frames, so it's an average of 8 frames per arrow.
If you want to avoid NextDelay issues against a single monster, your strafe must be 5 frames or slower. Then all 10 arrows hit. However, if you can't get the 5 frames, a higher speed is always better.
