No, its really that bad.  I was watching a guy running a dual shooter and it was painfully slow.  Attack speed is just bad.  It might not be so bad if you take all the ranged feats, but if you do that you're better off with a repeater or great xbow.

Inq is top tier if you’re not an autist and actually take the required feats. Reroll irl please

Do you also have Blinding Speed? How about one of the Inquisitor's Path enhancements?

30% alacrity in t5 there wise guy

Does that stack with the 22% haste-type increase from Blinding Speed or are they both “Alacrity” bonus so that they don’t stack?

I ask because the 22% bonus shows up in the Ranged Attack Speed increase part of the character sheet but the 30% speed increase from the T5 Inquisitor’s Path enhancements don’t.

Fusillade is only affected by Reloader's 30% alacrity. I tested Volley and bolts fired from a stack of 500 every time per charge. On a zero doubleshot base using Mech tier 5 for Reloader. Things like Tenser and Blinding Speed had no discernible effect on the amount of bolts fired.

60 bolts fired per Fusillade charge using Volley on a capped character.
Nothing changed this rate, from speed items, speed feats, tenser, etc.

88 bolts fired per Fusillade charge using Volley with Reloader.

I have not tested Inquisitive and light and heavy crossbows for bolts fired with Fusillade.

Weel i tested it again on midlvl toon (fresh iconic lvl 15 BAB 12) and it seems thers no problem at all and it actually fires pretty fast even without that T5 talents.

My initial testing was while leveling lowlvl halfling (BAB 4) where it is reeeeeeeeeeeeally reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally slow.

Maybe the problem is some halfling race bug. Or maybe at some specific BAB it suddenly starts reloading 2x faster.
I will test it more today at home.

Well at least you know now that you're not crazy with you complaining about the attack speed and everyone else telling you it's fine lol.

I about got snotty with you then realized, "Hey wait is it more likely that this guy doesn't know what he's talking about or that SSG fucked up somehow."  Then I realized the obvious answer that SSG fucked up somehow.

That is odd. I had something similar occur on lama. The first preview I managed 21-23 seconds on a dual xbow build in LD. The 2nd lama preview I only managed to get 31-33. Which is around 50% less...

I figured they stealth nerfed something, because I did not bother measuring firing rates with the weapon. But no matter what I did my Fusillade times were around 10 seconds worse from earlier tests, managing only 32 averages on lama preview #2 instead of the 22 averages from preview #1.

I used timed dps tests to see what I could reach, 10 seconds is noticeable.

You should time bolts fired since you are on the build and have iconic tester rolled already.

Stack of 500 scrolled/cast

0 doubleshot items or AP and toggle off past life, swap out feat if epic.

Fusillade times with Reloader 30% then count bolts left on stack of 500 starting bolts.

Do it for non-fusillade times and test for Reloader, Tenser and Blinding Speed or alacrity item.

You're still heroic so Tenser and alacrity items + Reloader and compare that your bugged character to see just how many less bolts you fire. The data will help the devs. You can PM Lynn on mobos or start a thread. I read you had sent a bug report. 

This will help devs see just how off the timing is. They fixed the slow down on VKF down pointed daggers style a while ago, so this is something they can nab if they know more. You would be able to provide firing rates and discrepancies accurately. And am sure many would like the info from doing so if you posted it.

OMG im soo unlucky. It seems only Halfling Males have this bug .. whitch is fcking exactly what i have on this life
