Air Stance and Zen Archery

[Ausdoerrt]

Posted this in Gameplay, got no response, figured maybe this would be a more appropiriate forum to get an answer.

So, I've noticed, to my great joy, that 10k Stars ability now applies to bows. Meaning now a ranger can basically have two manyshots instead of one.

Now, I'm wondering whether the attack speed boost from Air stance works for bows as well, or not. By all logic, it should work for both but *shrug* you never know. Description reads "Enhancement bonus to melee and thrown attack speed". I'm thinking bows will still be better since you can use AA imbues on them, but would be nice to know what to expect.

Thanks.

Yes it does work partially. Wind stance gives a bonus to attack speed which doesn't stack with haste (This is the part that works with bows), and a doublestrike bonus. The doublestrike bonus does not apply because doublestrike only works on melee attacks.

Even though it doesn't make much sense wind stance is really about the worst stance to be in (unless you are unhasted or missing).

Fire stance gives bonus damage and healing amp (with jidz-tetka). Depending on how many monk levels you have water gives passive ki regen (so you can abundant step more often), boosts 10k stars dps and can boost AB if built for it. Earth stance can give +1 crit multiplier which is the biggest DPS boost that you can get for your bow.
