Where you want this bow is soloing. With Headshot and Endless Quiver AA, a Fleeting Quiver, and 40 or 41% haste, you will mow down greenies, light blues and even lower level dark blues mighty fast.

I'm looking at this bow for a 91 ranger. In 2012, does Fleeting Quiver, EQ or any kind of haste really increase your probability of successful headshots? I was told that when one has EQ, the quiver haste does not stack.

EQ is just that, endless quiver...an aa...has nothing to do with haste at all.

Last time I parsed quivers, they had an effect. However, recent parses show better WR is not always more shots, depending on bow delay.

And on to something specific: Quiver haste is borked, has been for a long time. The newest ('fastest') quiver actually decreases your archery DPS in many cases. EQOutrider has a lot of info about it, look HERE to get a feel for the issue.


EQ (Endless Quiver) shouldn't matter. I think Headshot is a proc-like effect, so even hastes of any type therefore wouldn't affect the proc rate, but Weapon Affinity, Combat Effects, and the like would. Trick shot may help, depending on whether the proc rate is adjusted for it or not, as it is for haste effects. The way I remember it, Weapon Affinity was when I finallly started seeing a better rate of Headshots, and of course the Hail of Arrows line of spells. Since Headshot now only works on the current target, AEs like HoA don't really help that much, but probably still do increase the rate, just not like before, where you could get 4 Headshots on a single HoA cast. I'm sure if you look into it at the EQOutrider web-site, you'll be able to find the information.

Sorry, I didn't give an answer with certainty, but it's been quite a while, and recent (last year or two) parses are shedding new light on the situation, bugs and all.

Hope this helps some.

Yther Ore.
