Quote:Your post was extremely helpful. Quick point - assuming constant click time (which seems reasonable to me) if the hit + recovery is greater than 0.7 seconds the swiftness isn´t necessary/helpful for the double stun either. Right?
So the usefulness of a swiftness bow is pretty much limited to shooting faster at one target? Clicking every 0.3 seconds on 1 target seems quite doable.
swiftness is pvm isnt all its made out to be. Sure its nice, but not at all necessary. Although if you are playing a low ac rogue in hell/hell, using swiftness is a good idea for crowd control, especially against vipers and dogs which tend to be very quick. And vs knights of course, it works wonders. It IS better for double stun though in some situations, in particular vs witches as someone else pointed out when one is trying to cross the fire line. This double stun feature combined with a wall is a good crowd control tactic as well.
Overall if im playing my rogue with high ac, i usually opt to use my Obsidian Heavens bow over my Massive Swiftness, though if im playing low ac in a fast hell/hell coop ill use the swift then as non-swift bows, while perfectly fine, often slow down my play a bit.
