Couple of Mechanic questons ...

T5 30% alacrity does not show up in the character box sheet ... is it an enhancement bonus?. Do items with enhancement bonuses stack with this? Haste boost seems to stack. Does Haste and Haste boost both stack with this? Does increased BAB also increase your ranged alacrity such as casting Tensor's to get full BAB?

Sorry for noob questions, been a while since I play mechanic. Was my first real toon I leveled to 20 many years ago and haven't been back to it since. Unfortunately I think I got rid of the old school disrupting, banishing, smiting repeating xbows.

Also does enhancements from bolts (if different than your xbow enhancement) stack? Tooltip says no ... but you know how those can be.

I believe it was confirmed as an enhancement bonus, errr, somewhere. :o But it doesn't show on the character sheet because it's weapon-specific and not a generic bonus like, say, Blinding Speed.

Do items with enhancement bonuses stack with this?
No, so if you're using great crossbows with Mechanical Reloader, there's no point in equipping Ranged Alacrity or taking Blinding Speed, since both are lower than 30%. OTOH, if you use repeaters, then you will want Blinding Speed or something else that gives more than +10% enhancement bonus.

Haste boost seems to stack.
It does because Haste Boost isn't an enhancement bonus but an action boost.

Does increased BAB also increase your ranged alacrity such as casting Tensor's to get full BAB?
It did in the past (https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/275144-Vanshilar-s-Attack-Speed-Index-and-Formulae/page3?p=4591969#post4591969); I don't know if that's still the case.

Also does enhancements from bolts (if different than your xbow enhancement) stack?
No, only the higher bonus applies.

Tooltip says no ... but you know how those can be.
Only too well!
