Now one thing I really want to know. How the recharge time is affecting QS:

a) Using Serpents Quickness, as it is only reduced by 33%, is it affecting QS, which has a recharge time of 1s?

b) Using Quickening Zephyr with Serpents Quickness together which gives a total of 50%+ recharge, does that affect the recharge time? If so, by how many? Does it drop to 0 or only get reduced by +/- 60-80% ?

Thanks for answers.

the recharge timer of any skill will never drop below 1, that means it is kind of pointless to do this.

also, SQ and QZ does stack if I remember right, but I also remember some said it doesn't... oh well.

well thanks for that. There are a few skills who have alreddy a recharge time of 0, like barrage, but theres my second question.

Barrage has an activation time of 1s, but actually it needs like, from hitting the button, to shooting the arrows, takes me over 2s, does anyone know why?

a bug perhaps? I'm using the fastest bow: shortbow (or something, I don't have the game in English, and I can't play too look it up at the moment, so it's not really its exact name)

Barrage, along with all the other normal bow attacks with 'no cast time', are dependent on the rate of fire on the bow you are currently using.

eg. The r.o.f of a shortbow/half-moon is 2 secs, so using barrage with a shortbow will mean there is a 2 sec reload time before you can fire off another barrage.

Hey guys, does someone know where I can get a description from all bows??
Search function didn't help me.

Something like: Rate of fire // Armor Penetration // Range

On Serpent's Quickness and Quickening Zephire, yes they do stack. I trap UW with builds like that, and they do stack.

Trick is, they both improve recharge by a percentage, so you need really slow recharge skills (like traps) to notice any kind of visible change.
