First for general interest and being new to PF, curious what are some popular magic weapon abilities? What's more useful adding minor damage to most (fire, cold, shock), or big damage to few (holy, bane)?
Specific question I have a ranger for PF chronicles, archer build, rapid shot, many shot, impr crit, to go with the amount of rolls I get. Even at 19-20 that's 1-10, that's a crit every 2 rounds on avg and I'm a lucky roller. What's better a burst type to take advantage of the x3 = 2d10 extra or speed for an extra attack every round?
Say I have to draw my back up which is a keen elven curve 15-20/x2, speed or burst type? Does this change things b/c the greater threat range but lower damage?
I can see taking advantage of that x3 multiplier by putting burst on bow, and it not being as impressive on the sword with it's x2, but it seems a speed bow would be more consistent, as well as a burst on keen melee.
