Monkcher: No point in Doubleshot

[Carpone]

There's no point in gearing for Doubleshot as a monkcher:

10k stars: Activating this ability reduces your Extra Shot by -100% for 45 seconds.
Manyshot: Activating this ability reduces your Extra Shot by -100% for 70 seconds.

The optimal cycle is: 10k stars (30 sec duration, 60 sec cool down), Manyshot (20 sec duration, 120 sec cool down), 10 sec autoattack, 10k stars, 30 sec autoattack. Rinse and repeat. That's leaves a meager 15 seconds per cycle where you would benefit from a doubleshot bonus. 87.5% of the time you won't benefit from doubleshot.

I totally understand why doubleshot should be disabled during 10k Stars and Manyshot. But why the hate after those effects have ended? There's only 40 seconds per cycle where either ability isn't active.

Don't 10k stars and manyshot share a cooldown now?

No. They work the same on Lamannia as they do on live.

Maybe it's just me, but I still don't see 10k star's return as an enhancement in any of the three monk trees and the feat doesn't show up on my character sheet after I swapped it in. Is this an unspoken known issue or did I do something wrong?

Looks like you did something wrong. It is a feat now and when you take it you have to pull it out of your feat list into your hotbar in order to activate it. Works fine on my monk.

Hmm, pretty sure I traded stunning fist in for it, but I'll count feats or maybe just use the +20 heart to see if it resolves.

Thanks for the reply!
