Its been going up 15k+ because of both bowquest being popular and the need for it for proc FTEing. earthshaker gives you better chance at 350 insta fte.

Good except ranger can't equip, ranger sky now is 200+ proc chance. Other classes can get 200 as well not sure about with proc tho. Aow for instance is only 180. Also no bind sight.

Yea, no bind sight hurts, but not strictly necessary to race. I raced on my monk all the time.

As for proc rates, I just did some very half-assed testing and I was procing 30-40% of the time with Weighted Axe, 0% haste (unequiped my items) and 255 dex. To napkin math it, I'm guessing there's a linear relationship with delay and 10 delay is something like 60 swings a minute. So Weighted Axe clocks in at an expected 3 swing a minute, therefore 33% chance of proc per arrow. Earthshaker at 70 delay would be a around a 14% chance. Assuming the above holds, trading some range for a > 2x chance of instant proc seems reasonable.

Sorry to derail the thread, but another thought... Sky Darkener + Weighted Axe could enable SK quadding at 35. Should be over 4 procs a minute and the arrows themselves doing decent damage due to the damage bonus.

Of course, my assumptions might not hold, but it's fun to theory quest.
