Favourable winds increases the speed of arrows by 2x and so does read the wind. The funny thing is that...when i tried favourable winds(by itself)....it was much slower then read the wind(by itself)...Read the wind was fast
So...i really dont know...is it just me....or is there a problem with the skill?

Yes it is, it has been mentionned before, Read the wind buffs your arrow speed 4x, whatever you do. ANet just doesn't fixx it

It's just a little bug that Anet never bothers to fix. yeah, it's pretty useless if you're using RtW, but if you aren't it has its uses.

i think it does...the description does say ALL creatures..so yea... a bone fiend is a creature...the bad thing about favourable winds is that it also affects monsters...so..well RTW ftw

Except Favorable winds add 6 more damage onto your arrows which is nice. But, now that I read about this little bug, I think it wound be well worth to swap Favorable Wind for Winnowing.

Favorable Winds frees up your preparation skills, so you'd have faster arrows than normal and a prep.
