Doubleshot

Doubleshot grants a character a chance to do double (or higher) damage with their ranged or thrown weapon any time they make an attack. Doubleshot applies only to ranged and thrown attacks. (The similar mechanic for melee is Doublestrike.)

If your Doubleshot is greater than 100%, then a second shot is guaranteed, and the remainder is the chance at additional shots. For example:

• If your Doubleshot chance is 100%, there's a 100% chance of doing double damage.
• If your Doubleshot chance is 120%, you have a 20% chance of doing triple damage instead of double damage.

For shurikens specifically, Doubleshot does not apply to the additional shuriken thrown by the feats Shuriken Expertise or Ninja Spy Core Ability 2, Advanced Ninja Training.^{[Unverified"For shurikens specifically, Doubleshot does not apply to the additional shuriken thrown by the feats Shuriken Expertise or Ninja Spy Core Ability 2, Advanced Ninja Training." has not been verified in-game.

Introduction and changes

Doubleshot was introduced as part of the Update 19 combat changes. Many attack speed bonuses were converted to Doubleshot effects at that time.

Update 28 Patch 1 changes:

• Manyshot and Ten Thousand Stars no longer reduce your doubleshot chance.
• Repeating crossbows now have 1/3rd the chance for Doubleshot.
• Doubleshot can now "wrap" and cause a third or fourth shot if it goes above 100%.

Update 45 changes:

• Dual Crossbow combat style (from Inquisitive enhancements) uses 50% of your Doubleshot

Update 49 changes:

• Before this change, Doublestrike gave you a chance to make multiple attacks. Now it allows you to do extra damage with a single attack. (This change was made to reduce server lag.)
