You should just try buffing a double multishot (3x light shot) when ferocity/etc. is up. You should also try (in my opinion) using Cadence and Murderous Intent as they both are pretty effective as well (Cadence may be removed/rendered useless or changed in 1.19). I think you'll find it makes a considerable difference to get twice as many big bursts as you do currently.

Also wondering if anyone else gets absorb attack transferred onto them by a mage for the bursts. It seems to be a pretty good way to boost damage as well (though granted when I do this we are usually using a full BR).
I do try to use the buffs on the 1 minute mark on a double shot to get the most squeeze out of them, but many times due to moving about during the boss fights (shifting during Ogre, Skeles and shield light during Batraal) it doesn't end up mattering much anyway.

As far as saving 2 multishots to get a triple shot out, I see no feasibility in it unless you are standing close enough to use close shot as your primary attack while keeping the extra arrow nocked. Haven't tried that personally but heard that it works.

Waiting 15 seconds without shooting is just absurd. Even if you spend 4-5 or even 6 seconds of it buffing it isn't justified. Shouldn't take that long to buff anyway. Only time I end up getting 2x multishot up is when I'm away from the actual boss during batraal hitting lights, thus have the time to prepare the arrows.

We don't use BRs and they will be removed temporarily with 1.19 anyway so Cadence is a no. Murderous Intent, while can be nice, isn't worth a slot on my bar at this time. I can increase my critical hit rate through dexterity - whcih will also have a more profound effect post 1.19 apparently. Either way crit buffed Light Shot does just over 800 as opposed to a regular buffed Light Shot doing mid 700s. Not much compared to the drastic damage increase gained from actual buffs.
