Talk:Read the Wind

Twice as fast
In the Notes it says:

"Despite what the description says this skill actually forces the bow arc into near-horizonal, almost twice as fast as a recurve bow. This means arrows shot from a flatbow will travel about four times faster than normal, while recurve bow shots will move only twice as fast. In any case the shots will be more accurate and harder to dodge."

Where does this come from? I used it with a flatbow and it is not near-horizontal. It is twice as fast. Then if I use Quick Shot with that flatbow, it goes 4 times as fast and travels horizontal. --Carth 10:08, 10 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I was using Read the Wind with a longbow just now and it does indeed make the arc smaller. Capcom 04:47, 29 December 2006 (CST)


 * Of course it does. Read with a Flatbow IS near-horizontal. It's an enormous improvement in flight speed and accuracy for any bow. Arshay Duskbrow 05:05, 29 December 2006 (CST)

 * Why do you say this in every single skill discussion? Skax459 20:57, 23 April 2007 (CDT)
 * This was back when NF came out, and he was tagging which skills needed it in the talk page.--Nog64Talk [[Image:Yaaaay.png|19px]] 20:58, 23 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Wouldn't it be easier to just see if it was on the main page already? --Skax459 22:43, 5 May 2007 (CDT)

Bug ?
It seems that Barrage is removing Read The Wind, but not sure if the effect is still there or what happens.

It happens in Tombs: Read The Wind -> Barrage -> Read The wind is gone

confirm ?
 * Read barrage carefully. --8765 19:33, 10 May 2007 (CDT)

..Right, 10 headbumps for me, sorry for not reading the barrage text

What effect if combined with Favorable Winds (spirit)?
Neither this skill nor Favorable Winds indicate if these two skills' effects stack or not. Could someone test this? --Queen of Spades 15:29, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * RtW->FW works, doesn't the other way around. –Ichigo724[[Image:Ichigo-signature.jpg]] 16:45, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * To clarify, the speed stacks only if RtW is applied first, but the bonus damage stacks regardless of the order in which the skills are applied. --Belker 21:22, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
