Rapid Fire vs Hurricane?

I see a lot of guides saying to steal Rapid Fire as a 4th job attacking skill, but none of them mention Hurricane at all, even though they're basically the same ability. Is RF faster than Hurricane or something? Or can I just take either and it'll be the same?

Edit: Also, any Corsairs in Scania want to meet me on my Phantom so I can rob you? My ign is Eazora. pls help ;-;

Nah, when you hit 40 cards while using hurricane, Judgement Draw doesnt activate.

Hurricane is getting buffed to 330% damage in Reboot, so you'll want to switch to Hurricane when that rolls around, at least.[/quote]

No point using hurricane/rf anymore when we get reboot update.
It will be milles and then tempest. 4th job stolen skill will prob be i/l frozen orb

[quote=skythedestroyer]Rapid Fire has a less of a movement delay at startup, but you can counter Hurricane's startup by jump attacking with it. Also what above poster said.

We get a buff to mille so we'd want to use another combination instead, like final cut, arrow platter etc

[quote=trancem5]for cvonbon i dont know if you can hold down while using rapid fire, but you can definitely hold down while using hurricane to dodge vonbon fireball attack to dodge.[/quote]

You can with rapid fire and starforce salvo (Jett rapid fire).

Hurricane will have more %dmg on the skill in a future revamp over rapid fire.

Hurricane does not proct judgement draw correctly.

Unrelated note:
To any of my viewers that are wondering why I haven't uploaded a video in such a long time, I have no internet anymore. I have to go through extreme lengths to even attempt to get a video up. My YouTube will be closed for at least 2 more months, until my apartment fixes their problems. I cannot even alert people via YouTube about this issue so basilmarket is my only avenue for communication with my viewers atm. Sorry and thanks for understanding.

for cvonbon i dont know if you can hold down while using rapid fire, but you can definitely hold down while using hurricane to dodge vonbon fireball attack to dodge.

probably the only reason to use RF over hurricane is the startup yeh...the jumping ability is alright and kinda fun, but in the end it's useless against most bosses. Jumping up and down while holding attack button down just doesn't do anything for avoiding bosses or their moves

I personally use rapid fire, but i noticed that you can jump around in hurricane's motion , which may be more useful at some bosses

iirc, rapidfire seems to have less startup
