Double Shot...Rangers

So I spent sometime last night messing around with all ranger skills maxed (bout 10 books of alt) and i must say out of the skills I tried im most disappointed in Double Shot. Long cast time and slow refresh, in the time it takes to cast i can shoot 2-3 arrows non rapid shot, sure it can't be blocked...but why waste my energy?
So I propose Rangers Double Shot gets upgraded to a Triple Shot, same cast time same energy, make it something I would really want to use instead of a skill that will go unused for the most part.
Please post any feedback

Or....Admin i heard in Beta Double shot was insta cast? Id be more inclined to use if this was true in game.

I've asked for this to be checked out in case there is an issue with the skill. But overall it should work the same way as double attack but with longer range.

I dont use double attack because the cast time is too slow, the same problem vylen is bringing up. Please make these skills dependent on your weapon speed

I guess it is a bit early in some respects but... Admin why do you not database mine your game to learn how people use it. I hear you clone players and test but why not break down how players spend thier skill points and what they map to thier hotkeys? Perhaps mine the number of casts of a skill per total skill uses in a class.
If you did this you would have a spreadsheet showing what works and what dosent from players perspective at a glance. With good database mining you can see how these trends change with time and updates. This would be as objective as you can get since nearly no-one keeps useless builds and uses them over and over - the vast majority settle on what they like and use it.
You could even break it down by level etc. It's beginning computer science college stuff make some intern do it for free if you are hard up for labor - idk about the uk but that's standard fare in the USA. If you aren't collecting some of this information I ask yourself why aren't you when it's so powerful and easy using your own servers info.

Double shot works decently for me although I'd like the idea of triple shot
Or make it an octa shot if you can
