Powerfrog Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 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?

Quyneax Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 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.

Blutters Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfield Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 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) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Apparently hand cannon shot doesn't work with the dominion crossbow but I haven't tested it.

enfield Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 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.
