i also use rapid at lvl 1, its 6 secs for me, at lvl 10 it was 11 secs (9 more lvls and only 5 more secs..) and cooldown was about 20 secs
while now i can use it each bolas, i have about 5-6 secs before i run so i can use it over and over without wasting time on bolasing
the problem with lvling it is the cooldown, with lvl 1 skill it has low cooldown and enough time with bolas

it's the same unfathomable no matter what level rapid is at.The higher the rapid the longer the recast timer and the energy consumption is greater.It all comes down to how often you are willing to press the button to recast it.

That is one of the reasons I don't like rapid shot. There isn't really any bonus to adding skill points to it because the cool-down is the exact same length as the duration. It's one of the few skills that has no real benefit when you dump major skill points into it.

Agreed 100% only negatives come from point dumping in rapid .

thats why u should use it on lvl 1, 6 secs, 10 secs cooldown
at lvl 10, 11 secs, 20 secs cooldown
at lvl 20, 15-16 secs, 30 secs (i think) cooldown


i guess for every sec it'll be 2 secs more to cooldown, thats why its most useful on lvl 1

I could be mistaken but rapids cool down is always the same as how long the spell lasts.

You should probably read the post from the beginning criminal as both Ailwen and I keep rapid at 1/35

Here is what I came up with.
At level one, the skill lasts for seconds but only lasts for five seconds after the cast animation(2 seconds).
So at level one you get a total of five attacks with this skill; this seems great.
So half the attack speed for five seconds seems really epic. If we use this equation: (2900)(.50)=1450, we will find that the attack rate of a frozen bow will rapid shot is.
Here is how we find what the attack rate would be with golden gloves of haste. (2900)(.70)=2030.
I'm not gonna show the math for it but after factoring out the cast time of rapid shot I concluded that at level one you only gain one extra shot per cast, assuming you are using haste gloves.
No more level one rapid shot for me.

the cooldown isnt the same as the spell lasts, the cooldown is almost twice than that
and also, if the cooldown wont change by lvl, then at lvl 20 the skill will last for 15-16 secs while the cooldown is 10-11 secs, u can cast it over and over again

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about, bro.

Alright, so I spent about an hour testing rapid shot, and comparing it to gloves of haste and just regular attacks. It's not as bad as I made it out to be in the beginning, but it's still not amazing. I found that keeping it at level one was a poor choice on my part because if you are using gloves of haste rapid shot only gives you one extra attack once you factor out the cast time.
This doesn't mean that the skill is useless, it just means the only real benefit when using it at level one is to cast it before you fight and not during combat.
I noticed that the beta applications went out, so hopefully a future beta tester will be reading this and will give some tlc to ranger skills.

for ranger using bows low lvl rapid is best but for spear build max is not that bad. my rapid have 6 points and works really well than maxed rapid, when i get to 150 ill put those 6 points to my other maxed skills such as heal,steady,etc. at lvl 1 when u bolas(boss) u can cast two rapid before it gets to u and no waste of rapid time and energy
