Hello.
I tested around a little bit and noticed that the 2nd longbow skill ‘Rapid Fire’ actually does less dmg than normal long range shots do.
An example: In LA on the training dummys I do 1200 damage with normal attacks at range 1000+. Since I shoot every 0.75sec, I do 6.66 attacks in 5sec, means about 8000 damage in 5sec. The rapid fire skill however is channeled 5sec and only does about 5500 damage. Even in Range 500-1000 I would slightly be better off auto attacking (900*6.66?6000dmg). This means I actually would be better off just auto attacking, would I?
My conclusion would be that rapid fire just has a use if I am in range 0-500, but that doesn’t make much sense, because if I’m in range 0-500, I use ‘Point Blank Shot’ to get my range back to 500-1000.
Outgoing from this data I would say that ‘Rapid Fire’ is useless. If I have overlooked something, please let me know.
