Howdy,
was toying around with Deadly Shot from kensai.
I have skilled the haste boost and all the top to the deadly shot, i am a centered axe kensai.
Now without attack boost charges i cant use deadly shot by description, so i specced the attack boost from Dreadnaught.
I do have 11 charges on the Deadly shot but when i try to use it i get an error that i dont meet the requirements or i am in the wrong stance blaa blaa bla.
The odd thing is when i use my attack boosts from LD i lose charges on haste boost and vise versa.
Anyone else has that deadly shot working? Does it only work with attack boost from Kensai? Do you lose LD haste boosts then on use?

I would not use it at all, since it takes away haste boosts. That's what I noticed.

Are you using a ranged weapon?

Boosts are weird.
Fighter haste boost is actually classified as an attack boost, presumably since it's a multiple-selector ability and attack comes before haste. Or because potato.
In either case, this is why you can have two separate pools of fighter haste boost and LD haste boost, but you cannot do the same pairing with rogue (or ranger) haste boost and LD haste boost.
It also explains why LD attack boost pulls from the same pool as fighter haste boost. Hope that clears it up.
Havent played with deadly shot at all, but the observed behavior makes sense when you consider the above.

Or because potato.
This is the most likely cause.

^This. Deadly Shot is another multi-selector. If you have deadly shot it only works with ranged weapons, if you have deadly strike it only works with melee weapons.
It's very dumb that it shares a boost pool with haste or anything else, boosts are supposed to share a timer but not a pool and I don't like that they changed that. And in this case it shouldn't be a boost at all, it should have a cooldown; since it's not that powerful an ability it should be a short-ish cooldown like 10-15 sec at most and would still be a weaker tier 5 than hast boost at tier 1. If they really wanted to make it useful (like a tier 5 ability should be) make it a 5 sec timer to match your cleaves for easy rotation, at which point I'd actually find room for this on my hotbar.
