Rapid Fire not affecting StaticShot or PiercingShot

[Razarus]

Not sure if this is intentional or not, I raised it before but didn't get any response.

When using Rapid Fire (+cast speed as an archer) It affects all spells aside from Static and Piercing.

I'm not sure if the animation is too long or the global cooldown is too high but I notice NO increase is casting these two skills while rapid fire is active.

Is it just me?? Am I not seeing the increased speed?

Sounds like a bug.

Was intended at the time, they were a bit powerful being able to cast fast, weather this needs revisiting is another question.

Based on how static shock used to be I can understand that, but since its changes months ago I dont understand why it along with piercing shot should not benefit from a class buff.
That would be like MagicBooster not working with Blizz/Met because they already do enough damage.

Can one of the current team confirm that this will be looked at and considered? and if decided against could you explain the reasons why?
Thanks

You make a valid point, if a wizards self buff effects everything, then why shouldn't an archer's buff effect everything

Sam has already stated that archers are getting some love and has even coded a passive cool down reduce skill, this is why he requested are hers for the test server.

They are being looked it, what you have said will be taken on board.

Thanks BH,
The cooldown skill will not effect piercing shot or static shot because neither have a skill cooldown. they have a globalcooldown.
None of the changes mentioned by Sam will have any impact on what i have stated.
Thanks for taking it on board and ensuring that Sam gets the information.

I'm still willing to test the archer and monk as previously mentioned. I do believe I can offer much better testing than what I have seen on stream.
