Ranger – Sharpshooter – Velocity
Velocity is one of the four branches of the Sharpshooter subclass of the Ranger tree. The name is the wiki’s; in game the hub is titled “Notable”. It takes 6 points from the Sharpshooter node to reach its hub, which gives +35% Arrow Velocity with a ranged weapon equipped. Three leaves branch off the hub, one point each.
Its nodes give Arrow Velocity, Draw Speed, damage conversion, damage reduction and damage avoidance.

| Leaf | 7 | 50% of projectile damage is converted to fire damage |
