Class skill

Pinning Shot

Tap Pin to fire a control arrow and temporarily reduce your attack cooldown. If the arrow hits, it roots or slows the target. Root stops the target from moving; slow reduces its movement speed.

Rank	Root chance	Slow	Control duration
1	22%	45%	2s
2	26%	50%	2.2s
3	30%	55%	2.4s

The slow applies when the root roll fails. Both effects use the control duration shown above.

Rank	Attack cooldown reduction	Rapid fire duration
1	30%	3s
2	35%	3.3s
3	40%	3.6s

After rapid fire ends, the skill has a 2s cooldown. Before Skill Haste, it is ready again 5s at Rank 1, 5.3s at Rank 2, 5.6s at Rank 3 after activation. The control arrow itself deals no damage.

This skill is shared by the Archer class path. See skill upgrades for costs and how to upgrade.
