critical shot

So let me see if I understand... you don't get critical shot until your skill spec is at 3... so can you not use your bow until your spec is at 3? I can't seem to figure out how to use the bow without that button... seems silly to have a skill if you can't use it until it gets to 3, so I hope I missing something :)

crit shot

How I do it is

Target eneny
click on critical shot
(if the enemy moves at all such as fighting or walking you will shoot a regular shot)
I usually wait about two seconds then double click the the bow hot key so it will auto reload. Then after the first shot is released double click bow again to reload your third shot and send your pet in. I find it seems to be that your pet will do more damage if it is behind your enemy when you draw your spear.

That is how I do it and it seems to work for me

Anytime you double click on criticle shot it will switch to normal . What you need to do is put your bow in hot key bar and click once on criticle and then once on your bow . After that shot is released you can get off a normal shot as well by double clicking on your bow then after it releases switch to spear . Hope that helps .

Explain Critical Shot to me please...

I have tried using Critical Shot before but it never seems to work right...

I go the distance right before the monster is out of range and I click on the critical shot icon and it shows me loading the shot and it says that it takes 7.6 seconds to shot.

So I wait and then it pops up... "You switch to a normal shot!"

No matter where I am or what I do... It always switches to a normal shot!

So I tried something different...
I set up my distance and clicked on critical shot and before the 7.6 seconds were up... I click on critical shot again and the same message pops up!

What am I doing wrong here?

For the crit shot to work.... u have to first press ur crit key in ur quickbar...then when u load, press the bow key which u have to have in ur quickbar to, then it will work. dont press the crit button 2 times, only 1 and then normal shot..... :)

For combat, I have three main hotkeys:
1. Spear
2. Bow
3. Critical Shot

If I'm currently wielding my spear, I start by pressing 2 to ready my bow.

Get in range, then hit 3 to take aim for a Critical Shot.

Immediately press 2 to set for auto-release once the shot is lined up (i.e. once the aiming delay is satisfied).

I'll then press 2 again to set for auto-release AND auto-reload (BEFORE the Critical Shot is fired)

Once the Critical Shot flies, I'm automatically reloaded with a standard shot and taking aim.

Then hit 2 twice (once to set auto-fire, second time to set auto-reload)

Rinse, repeat.

Once the target closes for melee, switch over to the spear and finish them off.

Repeatedly hitting the bow key while aiming seems to cycle through options (manual fire, auto-fire, auto-fire with auto-reload).

Additionally, if the target moves out of range before you can fire, you can still re-target and immediately fire on a closer target.

Right currently we only get crit shot. But as your bow skill goes up the time it take's to get a shot off goes down. So if the delay of your bow is say 5.00 if you max you bow skill you will get a shot off in less time.. My bow is at lvl 7 and right now it takes .2 off of the dealy..

There isn't one, because most of the bow skills aren't in the game yet. The only one currently implemented is Critical Shot...you get Critcal Shot 1 at rank 3, Critical Shot 2 at 6, and so on. I'm told the last is at 30, but have not verified this myself yet. Longshot and Volley don't exist yet.

The highest Critical Shot, that I am aware of, is Critical Shot IX. If we continue to receive our new upgrades every 3 levels, that would put the last one at level 27.

I at 3, II at 6, III at 9, IV at 12, V at 15, VI at 18, VII at 21, VIII at 24, and IX at 27.

However, I'm not at IX (or even VI) at this moment. I'd love to hear from someone who has Critical Shot IX, if I'm incorrect.

I have bow 45 and u r right ... every 3 lvls u get crit shot +1 till IX they dont have implemented X or higher ... not sure if they do ever ..
btw you can get just +8 from items then it caps out ... the crit shot u can make on mobs is the same lvl of ur bow ... so when i try to shot a lvl 45 mob i can crit shot him (samewith playerlvl in rvr) when i try to shot a 46 i cant make a crit shot ... the programm dont show up that u can make one but u can see the dmg diference between it when u shot a 45 and a 46 ...

the dmg u deal with a bow is based on ur bow skill , ur dex and ur str .. nothing else ! (exept dmg adders)
how fast u can shot is based on the bow and the quickness u have ...

I hope this helped a little bit
