Verdant Shortbow Delay is Incorrect. Making it worse than a Crab Bow.

I posted it in the bug forums, but I think people who took the time to try and get it (and are using it) should know.

I doubt they all read the bug report forums.

Keep using the crab bow till' it gets fixed peeps.

At a 4.5 delay, the hardest weapon in the game to get, is currently a paperweight.

Where does it say that the Verdant's delay is 4.5?

I must be blind or missing something because in that pic it looks like 3.5 to me. Maybe a vid showing the AA speed?

[DoctorMog]

Look at the tooltip on light shot.

It physically counts down from 4.5 as well.

IIRC: SE noted that bows were incorectly displaying cooldowns for light shot, can you shoot before the timer is up? because they notied it was only a graphical glitch but the skill could be used at the proper timing.

The delay is noticeably shorter than crab/uldahn. Not sure what problem the OP is having with his interface or w/e.

Yep, just tested, counts down from 2 actually. Much faster than long bows.

yep, lightshot delay is not correct on action bar. Mine stays at 4.5 no matter what bow I equip.

Counting down from 2 though doesn't sound right though, as that would put its "true" delay at 2.5.

Pretty sure either the delay message is wrong somewhere, or the delay is for your auto attack not your light shot. maybe light shot is... I don't know lol.

Because using a bow with 4.2 delay gives 3 second cool down on light shot, using one with 3.5 delay give 2 second message? So....?

Either way, I would think HQ crab bow +2 or +3 would be way better for your WSs. Most of the weapons seem bad in the same way. I'm not an ARC tho.

You'd need a real parse of the two bows to actually compare them, imo.

See above. It's a known issue and has nothing to do with the Verdant Bow.
