"rapid fire shot" please explain

[MadGelo]

how can it increase attack speed when there is a global CD that cant be changed? or it just increase attack speed of auto attack?

[Gwailo]

Auto attack.

So next to worthless but a better instant finisher then Hasted Shot?

The point of the ability isn't to give you a super-buff, it's a high damage single target attack that should precede your burst.

How can it precede burst damage when it uses all the combo points? If you are going for burst wouldn't Deadeye Shot be the one finisher to use?

I assume what the other poster meant is if you know you will be able to stand still and pew pew and you want to build up some pressure then you can pop that and then get your extra auto's in as you build to another finisher.

I doubt that the extra auto attack finisher damage is more than you would get from a cast time finisher in the end though.

I only used it when i was needing to move and i didn't need to go faster (movement).

It's a PvE damage booster and should be up at all times in dungeons and raids.

When talking about Rapid Fire Shot. Does it stack with Shadow Fire in the ranger tree?
Rapid Fire is 30% attackspeed and Shadow Fire is 20%.

Thinking of using both. Since Rapid Fire shot has more dmg at my lvl, and Shadow Fire also has more dmg then Empowred shot.

Another Reason for it is that i have 5 points in Dubleshot (50% chance per autoattack to shot a second arrow).

You use that finisher before any other to ensure a higher sustained DPS during long fights. The buff stays up for 60 seconds provided you've filled all 5 combo points, allowing you to use all your other finishers after the buff is up.
