Rapid Fire is a hunter ability learned at level 54. It gives the hunter increased ranged attack speed. It also reduces the "casting" time of Steady Shot. By providing faster shooting, it significantly increases damage output for a short period of time; effective use of this ability is central to hunter DPS in groups.
