Question about Rapid Reload
"And you ate an apple, and I ate a pear,
From a dozen of each we had bought somewhere;
And the sky went wan, and the wind came cold,
And the sun rose dripping, a bucketful of gold. " - Millay

Does no one know the answer to this? The wiki wasn't helpful. Does anyone know some other place I could find out?

It functions for all crossbows, even repeaters and is often considered a key part of a repeater build.

Unless I am mistaken.....
Quick Draw only increases rate of fire with throwing weapons and decreases pause time when activating action boosts and clickies ...not 100% sure about the clickies.
Rapid Reload effects all X-bows including repeaters
Rapid Shot effects all X-Bows including repeaters and DOES stack with Rapid Reload...tho I think they may only stack partially...as in you only get 1 1/2 the speed boost instead of double...something like that.
Manyshot has no effect whatsoever on any kind of X-bow....it only works on long and short bows...altho IMO, I think it should effect throwing weapons as well.
IC:Ranged, Improved Precise Shot, Rapid Reload or Rapid Shot and the Improved Precise Shot pre-req's are probably the bare minimums of what you want for a viable repeater build.Last edited by vVAnjilaVv; 01-06-2011 at 08:00 PM.

Thank you both very much! I am indeed trying to see if I can piece together a repeater build, and this will help.

They are hard to play effectively but even outside the world of Unicorns they are quite possible to be viable. Originally Posted by Keybreaker

A lot of people make repeater bards...also very viable as Bards can offer a lot besides DPS...and a repeater fighter build can pull it off too as they have so many feats they can invest in both a ranged line of feats and a melee line of feats.
Looking at it from strictly a DPS PoV, yeah repeaters users are hard pressed to do a high amount of DPS.......but I think most repeater builds are specialists anyways.
