Crack Shot

Your longbow, rifle, and harpoon gun weapon skill 1 attacks are enhanced.

 Damage Increase: 10%

 Burning (1s): 131 Damage

 Bleeding (3s): 66 Damage

 Recharge Reduced: 20% [sic]

— In-game description

Bug:

As weapon skills 1 have no recharge time, a recharge reduction would only make sense for the other weapon skills but there is no reduction in recharge when this trait is selected, neither is it displayed in skill descriptions nor is it measurable for the rifle skills 2 to 5. This seems to be an older version of the trait despcription from before the June 27, 2023 game update

Notes

• The  Burning applied to   Dual Shot applies to each arrow, thus applying up to 2 stacks on hit.
