Information

• The archer carefully places each shot for maximum effect while in this mode. This decreases rate of fire, by increasing aim time by +1.5 seconds, but doubles critical chance, and grants +10 attack, +2 damage and +3 armor penetration. Master Archer further increases these bonuses by +5 attack, +1 damage and +2 armor penetration.
• Conjuration time: 2 s.
• Being hit by this ability generates 1 additional threat on the target(s).

Notes

• Upkeep is in Stamina.
• Doubled Ranged Critical Hit Chance does not include base critical chance determined by weapon tier.
• Any weapon or armor piece with the "Rapid Aim" quality improves the attack speed of Aim to that of a normal attack. This makes Aim one of the most effective Archery talents as a result.
