Talk:Crippling Shot

What!? You mean spamming a 15 energy skill might use energy?! Who thinks up these notes? 65.30.20.38 18:56, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I hear ya. Killed the note. &mdash; Skuld 18:56, 12 June 2007 (UTC)


 * It does cost a lot of energy, I don't see what's wrong with that. Anyways, nobody use cripshot rangers now, we all use Grasping Rangers. ;) Lightblade 19:10, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Everytime I go in to observer mode both teams have a Crip Ranger...RitualDoll 04:00, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Note that that last comment was from June. Cripshot was 15 energy back then making energy unmanageable, but it got buffed back to 10 energy bringing back its popularity (although it's still a shadow of its former self) 67.184.146.234 05:04, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I still think it's an overrated skill, a ranger flag runner for instance would be much better off with Burning Arrow and Pin Down
 * The good points of this skill is that it can keep up cripple indefinitely and that it is unblockable. The unblockable feature can also be combined with preperations to create even more pressure. Great skill imo. SniperFox 17:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, ranger flag runners are pretty fail. 76.89.81.150 02:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Melandru's Shot is better in most situations. /kite--69.156.105.213 04:15, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Needs a buff vs Melandru's Shot
Melandru's Shot seems to be better in almost all situations. It uses less energy, can apply 2 conditions instead of one, inflicts a longer cripple and inflicts bonus damage. Maybe the duration of Crippling Shot's cripple could be increased? Any other ideas? Combatter 23:21, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's how they fixed it: they nerfed Melandru's shot <.< --87.61.124.2 15:06, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Best animation?
I think so! 81.97.120.100 00:33, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Bad
Pin down only costs 5en more and saves your elite for something more useful, like dps from Quick Shot. Backwards Llort 20:17, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Is Pin Down unblockable and recharge in 2 seconds? AceKevin 04:39, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * yes.--67.224.170.227 02:17, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * o rlly? Pin Down --Fallen Scythe 01:05, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Why would you spam an 8 second condition every two seconds? Pin Down lasts longer and has a decent recharge. Not only that but how often are rangers blocked? Now, if this attack moved twice as fast, so that people couldn't zigzag to avoid it, it might be useful. Till then, this skill is completely useless.

 * Obviously, you don't play pvp, where crippling shot is spammed every 2 seconds to keep as many people crippled as possible. ~Shard  [[Image:User Shard Sig Icon.png]] 03:32, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Added Barbed Arrows to Notes
It's got apply so why not barbed? Tbarr 22:16, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

december nerf
ouch, this got seriously hit with the nerfbat, 4 sec is the duble recharge and that is only to compensate for the fact that melandrus shot got a - 2 sec recharge (which they added to this). the only reason this skill is good is because of its ability to spread crippling on multiple foes and not to have a long duration, otherwise we would roll pin down and save the elite slot for magebane (yes it isn't unblockable but still :P) to say this to compensate for the micromalistic buff to melandrus shot (that still can't be maintained on more than 1 target so it didn't matter) is quite strange XD-- Miriforst fox  05:32, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

I agree some serious attention needs to be placed on Crippling Shot and Melandru's shot. Please see my commentary on the Melandru's Shot discussion page. -Cael Foxleaf.
