Re: Rapid shot is garbage

So how many points maximum would be advised to spend on it? I have 5 at the moment. I take it i dont upgrade it further?

I think it largely depends on your level . For me I like the ability to use rapid shot as more of an after lightheal/spikes insta cast , I even use it this way when hasted ( used to be better for this) or if killng wyverns in a group they only last as long as a level 1/35 rapid shot anyways , allowing it to be recast on every mob .

I really don't know why it is useless... the shorter it is the less fast you do with normal hits, isn't that less dps? At all the skill uses isn't rapid always ending at half way the cooldown space?

It doesn't get faster with points in it , just lasts longer , cool down vs active it is same at 1 as it is at 35 .
Yeah, more dps for a longer period of time with no breaks in between with the same cooldown, ends all the time halfway on cool down with square thingy that shows it filling up the faded side of the square.

Think about it like this:

I have 15/30 rapid. I bolas and rapid shot, run, bolas and rapid shot, run, etc. So because of rapid shot almost all of my attacks are hasted when I am not running. The cooldown is not an issue in this scenario. If my rapid shot was at lvl 30 it would be an issue BC i would waste a lot of those hasted shots running around.

If by saying rapid shot is garbage you are saying it isn't worth putting more than 15 or 20 points into, I agree. But it is a free haste elixer and has little trade off if used correctly.

In another scenario.. Its usefulness is not as apparent. Boss fights. Cast on, cooldown, cast on, cooldown, no matter how high of a lvl it is it will do roughly the same damage BC the cooldown grows with the duration of the rapid shot, as previously stated.

However, this doesnt mean rapid isnt worth upgrading to atleast 15 or 20, because the longer you are hasted the better chance for interrupts on boss skills. It is a small help but it is nice to have. This, combined with the first example, imo makes it very useful, not garbage.

Scenario 2 and the reasoning behind boss fights kinda contradict each other, it helps with interupts as much at 1 as at 15 , that being said I do agree with you to some extent , it can be useful like how you described it just depends on the play style .
Depends how long it takes to kill mobs for xp , if 15 rapid cuts it then that's best for you , like I said for me it's best at about 1/35 sometimes after switching off of spear I will forget to remove the rapid rings and I'll be running around with bow and rapid at 10 or so and honestly i don't feel it helps more than level 1 but to each his own.

Maybe it's because how I use my skill, level 1 rapid may help me for pvp but when I fight tree's this is what I do. Bolas once and rapid shot and then not bolas again and just heal my super 500's. I know this won't be the case when I train on rock people....

Ok this is how you use rapid shot.
You have your preferred skills and a patern of using them with their cool downs. Just pay close attention and define
this set pattern. In between your skills you will be auto ing with your rapid shot.

Your rapid shot should run out just as you start casting your next batch of skills. If you have left over time on rapid while skill casting you have put too many points in rapid. You need just enough to fit your pattern. More is a waste of points.

If you want to cast rapid and it is not done with cool down, you may need fewer points in it to reduce cool down.

It's all about balance and getting the most out of your points.
