There was a fix to advanced rapid fire’s crit damage bonus bug in the latest patch.
However, in fixing this one, weapon mastery is now bugged to do abnormally high damage when using crossbows preceded by a skill that uses the damage from dual wielded weapons (caltrops, puncture, etc).
This bug doesn’t work while using a bow (say Skyhunter) or using forceful arrow or heartseeker before casting your core skill.
See the data sheet here (prepared by Ava):

We can see:
- Adding +3 ranks to weapon mastery when using forceful arrow then core skill has a damage gain of 19.76%
- The same scenario above except changing from forceful arrow to puncture and +3 to +1 weapon mastery increases this gain from 19.76% to 82.40%
- Successive increases to weapon mastery ranks from there seems to multiplicatively increase the damage: 85.29% (rank 2), 92.21% (rank 3), 106.51% (rank 4), 117.40% (rank 5)
