This works on all ranged, yes? Not just bows?

Or is it really Bow Alacrity?

Oh and please tell me it either stacks with haste, or will when the devs fix air stance to stack with haste.

Or is it really Bow Alacrity? Nope, Alacrity for all.

Oh and please tell me it either stacks with haste Nope, or will when the devs fix air stance to stack with haste Soon.

I hope you havent spent the scales yet.

For fun, my 14/2 bard/rogue has all my throwing weapons.........and since she is drow I just had to put her in black dragon leather................The toss rate is improved, but doesnt stack with haste.

Works with repeaters = good enough for me.

But really hope the devs make this stack with haste later when they rework that kinda stuff for monk Air Stance. :)

Sorry, no, don't do that.

Wearing Black Scale Leather is the mark of a noob. It is. The only people who get it are those who either don't know the 10% boost doesn't stack with haste, or don't care because they're not usually hasted.

Moderately good players know that anytime they're fighting a slightly important monster they'll have haste on, and that therefore the black armor is wasted.

You can do better.

Oh I know.

But looks count too. At least this way I can sort of pretend I am doing it for the repeaters... and who knows, maybe someday they'll make the alacrity stuff stack like it ought to.

I have all the scales but it will be a little while before my repeater bard is high enough level to use them. I may still change my mind.

I hate to say this, but I have to agree with Turial here. And not because I dislike Turial at all but because I love range. Given ranged reduced speed, the 10%you will see to ranged attacks is like adding .025% to melee. It really just is not worth it at all. You won't notice any difference at all till higher levels. I gave up and ditched it. Can't say my DPS went down any either.
