November 14, 201114 yr Swift gloves.I hear the gloves do not work with bolt specials. Does this mean if i used them with diamond bolts they'd never double... Or does it mean that it will occasionally double bolt and the 2nd bolt will just be a regular none special hit?What is the exact chance of dong a double bolt special?Does the 2nd bolt consume an additional bolt from your ammo? Goliath gloves. Better DPS on waterfiends than chaotic maul/Sara sword?Good for welfare PKing?Prefered over other chaotics for anything other than waterfiends? Spellcaster gloves.... Is there any reason to use these other than the +2 magic attack over barrows gloves? In general. How long do gloves take to degrade?Is this effected by wielding a weapon?
November 14, 201114 yr As far as I know they work with bolt specs. It's not known how or why they activate. Yes, yes, no. No. 1-5 hrs.Yes.

November 14, 201114 yr Just to fill in the blank,Swift Gloves' effect will cause you to fire an additional bolt. That's how it's explained, actually - that the gloves make you swift enough to fire two bolts (or other ammo) consecutively.It should be noted that if used in conjunction with a Dominion Crossbow, if the effect activates, you WILL use ammo for the second hit. Important if you bought a single Onyx Bolt for use with the Dom. CBow. Unfortunately I don't know what chance there is of an enchanted bolt spec activating normally, nor the chance of firing double bolts.
November 15, 201114 yr you want to use a hand-cannon shot with your dominion x-bow. anyway.... Swift gloves: I haven't done that much testing, but what seems to happen is this - if you *would* hit 2/3+ of your max hit then instead you do two normal attacks at once. So an average hit of 5/6*max becomes 1*max. Even when the swift glove's effect happens, the dps increase for that attack turn is only 16.66%. And the rate that this happens at? it's somewhere around 2/45 attacks. So the dps increase is laughable (something like 20/27 % :P) .
November 15, 201114 yr Apparently hand cannon shot doesn't work with the dominion crossbow but I haven't tested it.

November 16, 201114 yr hmm i tried it and it worked. hit 560's and stuff. but that was like on the first day.i tried and I couldn't hit over 140 ish, and that was first day too.
November 16, 201114 yr hmm an explanation i came up with is that maybe I had a bolt on by accident (like one i got from the reward chest), and maybe it was a 460 not a 560 that i remember. but i'm only assigning around a 20% probability or less to that possibility.
