I was wondering if preperations stack? for example ignite and poison and kindle....i read that read the winds does not stack with these thats why i wanted to ask.... as well for quickshot ...does frenzy or other skills that further increase attackspeed stack with it? I know it saids shoot faster than "normal"...but what i mean is i shoot it double as fast plus another 33% say from frenzy...or how does it work? thank you

You can use 1 preperation and 1 stance at any one time. Which means you can't use frenzy AND tiger's fury, or kindle AND read the wind. However, you can use frenzy and any of the preperations (kindle, ignite, poison, RtW) at the same time. Usually I pick one stance and one preperation to use on my ranger at any one time, since I can't stack preps or stances.

Well, what i know is, you can't stack any skill that says "preparation". I don't have frenzy so i don't know about that.

You can use a prep and a stance at the same time, you may not use 2 preps or 2 stances.

Preps definetly do not suck. Apply Poison, Kindle Arrows, and Melandru's Arrows {elite} are all very useful.

Are you suggesting that it's worthless to make your base damage 35-49 instead of 15-29? Because Kindle Arrows goes up to +20 damage per shot, which means it does effectivily that. Melandru's Arrows can get up to +24 per shot and cause bleeding (6 dps), and Apply Poison puts 8 damage per second on your targer, ignoring armor. You can poison multiple people with Apply Poison as well.

Quick Shot is a bow skill, you can use it at any time. Using Tiger's Fury or Frenzy will not prevent you from using it.

Read the Wind doesn't stack with Kindle/Ignite arrows because Read is a preperation, and you can't have 2 preps at the same time.

you cannot use a preparation after tiger's fury; just attack skills
