We do not recommend spending points into Trick Shot

Do to its somewhat niche nature or lack of utility, we do not recommend investing into this skill. Generally speaking, your points will better be spent elsewhere. However, there are some builds that may make use of this skill, so only in those instances should you invest your points here.

This skill is useless to most builds in the game except for builds that heavily revolve around you using the crossbow. The extra shot that you get when shooting the crossbow will only be helpful if you are using a build that fully focuses on the crossbow as the main damage dealing weapon.

Conclusion

We do not recommend investing into this skill. Having an additional bolt to shoot hardly makes any difference in your utility or damage with the crossbow. It would be better to invest you points on other skiils.
