Talk:Doubleshot

Apparently the reduced chance for doubleshot to proc with repeaters is 1/3 since they fire 3 bolts at a time. Does any one know if when Doubleshot procs they get 1 extra attack (3 bolts) or just 1 extra bolt? the 1/3 chance to proc could follow from the chance to proc being per bolt fired each having a chance to proc it... or it could be from the number of extra bolts that would result in a successful doubleshot proc.

Repeter Testing
Bought 10 stacks of 100 bolts. Recorded active stack amount before and after firing each volley. Did not fire a volley if less than 6 bolts remained in the stack. Epic Past Life Feat Double Shot: aquired 2 times. Wearing Item:Skirmisher's Bracers (Level 26) Expected Doubleshot chance = 6 + 8 = 14%
 * Summary of data
 * -Total volleys fired: 283
 * -Total bolts fired: 965


 * Interpretation of results:
 * -Assuming each normal bolt has the same chance to trigger an extra bolt from doubleshot.
 * -Assuming each extra bolt has NO chance of triggering additional bolts.
 * -Calculated odd of doubleshot is approximatly 14.5%
 * -Direct odds of doubleshot for sample is 13.66% = 965/(283*3)-1

Repeter Testing 2
Bought 9 stacks of 100 bolts. Recorded active stack amount before and after firing each volley. Did not fire a volley if less than 6 bolts remained in the stack. Epic Past Life Feat Double Shot: aquired 2 times. Wearing Item:Skirmisher's Bracers (Level 26). Took Master of Imbuement. Expected Doubleshot Chance = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24%
 * Summary of data
 * -Total volleys fired: 233
 * -Total bolts fired: 867


 * Interpretation of results:
 * -Direct odds of doubleshot for sample is 24.03% = 867/(233*3)-1

Repeter appears to get full face benifit of Doubleshot.
