Who has this RA?
At what level?
Does anyone find this particularly useful?

I like it, I don't defend keeps very often so I use it to pop the casters bubble as they run past, or as one last shot on the unwilling victim that ran away. I think I will eventually take it to level 2 as I seem to use the thing almost as soon as it refreshs.
edit: One thing that bugs me about this RA though....you can miss!! A 10 minute reuse timer, a one shot deal, and you can miss! Really chaps my hide when that happens.
love it, level 1, seems to be the one way I get solo kills.. TS, crit = Dead enemy or damn close to it!
Would never take it to 3 as its not THAT useful, but definately 2 one day, I hate people running out of range when one more arrow will do it.

I love Trueshot 1. If you see a caster that does not have any Brittle Guards up...it is a guarateed kill. Mine is at level 1 and has more than paid for itself. I wont take it any higher though

I love it. Solo kill BDs with it in Leirvik. Team up with a couple other scouts and shoot down a smartass nearsighter/enemy archer with it... much fun. Only level 1 for me though. Not sure I'll go higher with it.

Is it like the old longshot? As in, do you use the Trueshot button to actually draw your bow? Or can you pop the button like Rapid Fire and it will TS your next arrow?

I never had the old longshot, but clicking/pressing the current Trueshot button on your qbar does draw your bow as if it were a "bow icon" on your qbar. I presume that's the way the old longshot worked. Also, you stay stealthed when "Trueshotting" as if you were drawing a "normal" shot.
*edit* you cannot activate Trueshot unless you're holding your bow and there are some kind of weird messages you get when you've started a trueshot and then decide not to, but then try to reactivate it after you've moved. I wind up switching weapons hitting escape and drawing critshots and/or any combination of things like that to clear the "Trueshot is already activated" message... sketchy notes I know... but... I'm guessing that's the same as the old Longshot and I just have to figure it out a little better about canceling and re-activating.

Tx,
Yeah it's not a toggle like RF is (I hope they change it), so the only downside to this RA is that if you already have you bow drawn you have to interrupt your current shot and re-draw with TS. Make it a toggle and I'll dance in the streets.
