I have a couple questions about game mechanics.

[Bacab]

Before I took my break, Repeating Crossbows had a cap on the amount of Doubleshot they could proc. Is that still the case? I rememeber that Inquisitive didn't have these draw backs, and some people felt that SSG left the penalty (Doubleshot cap) on Repeaters to encourage people to buy Inquisitive. Is this still the case?

A long time ago a buddy swore up and down that the Fast Healing Epic Past life (x3) was amazing and he basically rarely needed to heal because of this. This was before Reaper was a thing. Does the self-heal penalty in Reaper affect the Fast Healing Epic Past Life? Also does Healing Amp help this ability?

Before I took my break, the Artificer SLAs and the Electric spells cast by Artificers didn't get the proper maximum level bump from the epic Feat, so it didn't scale nicely into Epics. Is that still the case?

Thanks to whoever can answer these questions!

Yes the self-heal penalty applies, and yes heal amp applies.

Thanks!

I guess that lowers that Feats utility a good bit.

About to ETR, so that is super helpful info!

They nerfed doubleshot for Inquisitive in a later update, 50 percent doubleshot penalty for dual crossbows. Heck, they nerfed doubleshot and doublestrike when they made it a chance for extra damage rather than an extra attack to reduce server lag. I still hate this change more than many of the others they've made over the years.

They did add an epic feat for repeaters to bring them back up to par with other crossbow styles.

The Aritificer issue was fixed IIRC.

Expanded Clip. Tried it once, worked pretty well, I still usually prefer Inquisitive, but Arti with Expanded Clip was certainly viable.


As far as Fast Healing Goes, it only procs every minute, so it's not exactly as fast of healing as your friend might be implying. Being affected by reaper does not help. I'd mostly prefer any of the other Primal Sphere feats if possible.
