Doctrines
Highest level you can.
Mandatory
- Epic Crossbow Doctrine V (Unlocks Double Shot, fires 2 bolts per shot for 8s, can’t combine with Focus Fire, 60s CD)
- Poisons Doctrine V (+140 all AP, +60 poison DMG, stacks up to 2x)
- New Ammo Doctrine IV (+35% ammo, +120 piercing AP)
- Epic Crossbow Doctrine III (+23% rate of fire)
- Gunsight Doctrine V (+40% shooting accuracy, +80 piercing DMG, likely same doctrine as “Accuracy Doctrine” on Demesne Arbalists)
Filler
- Double Fire Doctrine V (alt for Epic Crossbow V, older Double Fire variant, fires 2 bolts for 8s, 45s CD)
Replace Double Fire by Double Shot (Epic Crossbow V), both unlock double-bolt mechanic but Double Shot has longer-CD/shorter-duration vs Double Fire’s 45s CD / +12% ROF baseline. Amya’s pick: Double Shot.
