Why isn't ED feat doubleshot available at lvl26?

[astulos]

I'm not gonna argue if it works, or not. If people choose it or not because of manyshot and 10k penalties.

But why isnt it available at lvl 26, like every other combat style (perfect THF, TWF, SWF)?

It's available at level 28 if you have 2 primal destinies maxed. Not sure why it has a different requirement from the other ones.

"Level 26 feats require 1 capped destiny in the related sphere. Level 28 feats require 2 capped destinies in the related sphere." Doubleshot is in the latter category.

I'm more annoyed that the only other ED DPS feat you can pair it with is Holy Strike, which (A) requires capping a Divine ED on the far side of the ED map and (B) isn't that great anyway.

Guys, I know that it can be acquired at 28.
What I'm asking is why does a ranged toon have to take it at 28, and hence can't take any other lvl28 feat.
Melee toons can get perfect THF, TWF, SWF at 26. Toons using THF and SWF can additionally pick perfect TWF for the extra doublestrike at 28.
Casters can choose the 20SP of the element of their choice at 26 too.

In other words, the OP is asking why does doubleshot that's a relatively weak feat for most builds require 2 capped destinies instead of just 1. Try to comprehend that.

1) He didnt say that
2) Because 2 > 1

Sounds to me like he did say it (though maybe difficult wording).
Also 2>1 is not an answer to why it has to be 2 instead of 1 when every other combat related feat only needs 1. Just incase OP didn't intend that meaning, I will be asking the question the way I perceived it:

Why can every other combat-related feat be taken with just 1 ED maxed (thus at level 26) and only Doubleshot needs 2 EDs (making it unavailable prior to level 28)? Is it that much stronger?

Hi,

This feat should either be much stronger than it is, or the requirements should be reduced.

Thanks.
