Patch 10.2 Tier Sets
- 2-Set Bonus: Rapid Fire deals 20% additional damage. Trick Shots cause Rapid Fire to launch a Volley for 6 seconds, dealing 100% of normal damage. when empowered by Trick Shots.
- 4-Set Bonus: Every 10 Focus you spend has a 3% chance to reset the cooldown of Rapid Fire and cause your next Rapid Fire to shoot 100% additional shots during its channel.
The new Tier Set is a nice boost to our single target damage. We get a lot more and a lot stronger Rapid Fire casts. In AoE we can get really long Volley windows, especially during Trueshot.
