Does this mean any attack skill that is recharging is recharged or does this mean all your attack skills act like theyve just been used and go through their normal recharge times?

Mega, if this arrow misses, all your attack skills are instantly usable.

TO clear it up so they don't have to:
Attack skills are just that - SKills that are labeled "Attack Skill" in their desp.

In includes all Bow, Sword, Axe, and Hammer attacks.

This is a highly Gimped version of the elite Oath Shot.

It has half the recharge/energy of Oath and no 50% chance if lvl is too low sentence in it - but thats as far as it goes. It does have some minor +X dmg though, but for the recharge on this baby you'd never use it for that.

First it has to MISS to get the good effect - and missing someone on propose is much harder than hitting them.

Then when it does go off, its only Attack skills that come back - this is the real reason its never used. Most bow attacks used have a maximum of 5s recharge. That means all you need to do is use another one, and by that time, the first is recharged.

Its crazy to keep this on bar just to recharge a Distracting or Concussion shot alittle faster.

Hmm maybe it can be used with...err...precise shot combo. If enemy is using defense - shot precise, determination and then precise...or sort. Any more good ideas? Do it works if you get "target obscured" ?

problem is - your "combo" isn't spammable in the least. Precision Shot would be already recharged almost by the time Determined recharges again - making wasting the few seconds shotting determined useless.

It'd be like.
Precision Shot - starts recharging for 6s
Determined Shot - gets Precision Shot back - starts recharging for 10s
Precision Shot - starts recharging for 6s - Determined Shot is at about 8s left of its recharge

See...from this point - Precision would recharge before Determined....

Theres just no justification for a skill that recharges slower than any other skill you'd ever use it to recharge. Oath Shot is used to recharge those 20s/30s traps, or 30s/60s stances - neither of which Determnied can touch.
