Hey just wondering if rapid shot is still useful if you have heroic gloves of haste?

It can still be useful, as the speed of rapid shot is obviously faster than the haste gloves' 130% attack speed. The two effects simply do not stack together (or with haste pots/elixirs), otherwise your hands would be moving at an inhuman speed.

Rapid and gloves stack but rapid and potions /elixers dont ... i tested

No haste buffs stack.
Gloves cancel normal speed so 130% increase
Rapidshot cancel gloves so 150% increase
Haste elix cancel rapidshot so 150% increase for the time of your elixer.

Rapidshot cancel gloves so 150% increase
Haste elix cancel rapidshot so 150% increase for the time of your elixer.

Damn, I never realised a super cancelled rapid shot.
So basically as a strength ranger I might as well only use steady aim when on a super combo?

Yea

I don't believe that all these rules are correct.

When I am using gloves and then use Rapid Shot I can clearly count double (?) the amount of shots while it is active, which reduces when it is in cool down.

Also when on Elixir I see the same type of countable increase when Rapid is active, though exact % escapes me.

However I don't know if all three stack as I have never had Elixir without gloves to give 3 separate counts to compare. I suspect Elixir cancels out gloves.

Oh and I am counting floating numbers not animations which should be more exact.

Perhaps the secret is in the wording. There is no reference to Haste effect in the skill description for Rapid Shot " Speeds up your Bow or Spear".

The designers may have not wanted to remove an important skill buff and left it to stack with Haste Effects where the descriptions say "reduce Attack Speed" not speed up.

Could Rapid leave Attack Speed alone and just double the number of attack?

Prior to otherworld patch, the speed of your attack was increased with the amount of points you put into the skill, now it only extends it by a few seconds and shortly reduces the cooldown time, rapidshot is just a mini haste elixer that costs you energy instead of platnium

Idc what u guys say bout rapid shot.

The only time rapid shot is useless in is when ur on a supa combo elixer.

Other than that, it is really really usefull and I'd suggest it to anybody.

It's ok to have rapid shot only ungraded to half, as long as it satisfies ur dps standards.


Uh crud,... I couldn't be botherd reading rest of post -.-
Umm.... I agre with that the other guy said
