Between Keen (12%), Keen Awareness (12%), 50 Dex (5%), Bullseye (10%), Base Bow Crit (5%) is 44% Base Crit, and with bad luck protection mechanic it as an average effective crit chance of 61.3%.
You are also excluding the fact that Vicious applies on abilities (Rain of Arrows and Penetrating/Split Shot) which hit multiple targets. Between these and auto-attacks, not difficult to make 9 hits with in 10 secs as you say is the requirement (and in Wars/mass PvP which you used for your Chain Argument, it will be much much more hits in that time).
All of this is very likely.
People are quick to bring up Resilent. What about Shirking DoT cleanse, Purify, Vigor and Mending Touch, vs Bleed? Also what about those light users that run zero Resilient?
I dont have bow man yet. But for me creeping recurve is a beast in opr. With laz bow if i dont kill with heavy shot, pen shot combo they run and pot or they pot after heavy shot. Laz bow is strong but in my opinion selfish weapon and being bow you miss alot. Creeping recurve provides chain that procs alot cause you should be weaving abilities in between shots, or if they are clumped light attack spam for chain procs.
I can easily get 900k damage and 10+ kills in opr using this method. When i play with laz bow im more of an assassin and it has to be paired with bow IMO. So far overall creeping recurve gets kills with jagged edge when players run and have no pots, gets kills from chain, and from direct shots. Laz bow does not give you that many opportunities to kill.
What I donāt understand is how when you use Laz Bow you miss a lot. But when you use Creeping Recurve you chain proc a lot, which requires hitting with autoattack (not weaving abilities like you said). Technically weaving abilities would benefit more from Vicious.
Are you intentionally shooting terribly with Laz Bow to prove a point? Otherwise I donāt get who you are proccing a lot with Chain on Recurve, but missing all the time with Laz?
I sorry i didnāt elaborate. I miss with both weapons. I just notice my overall damage is much lower with laz bow so my misses are felt more with laz. While i am for body when targets are running, i for headshots in every other scenario. Ive gotten fairly good at landing them. This is my personal experience only. Everyone plays different styles so each bows has pros and cons based on that. We have many choices of bows to choose from fortunately im happy about that.
Because if they run minimal CON like 50 (but would be applicable at 100 as well), the migitation has little value as they cannot take multiple hits anyway. So they, healers for example, go for Refreshing+Freedom (Refreshing+Shirking Energy is also must on legs) rather than Refreshing+Resilient . Priority is on availability to dodge and avoidance.
I tested bowmans pride vs my Vorpal/Enchanted/Jagged bow, light headshots with bowmans pride were around 1329 on a full resil 2 physical aversion target, my vorpal bow was around 1739 and 1850 when keenly jagged procād
