 * Issue
 * Spammable and unblockable interrupt which takes the skill out of interrupting and can shut down spells for a looong time (since by the time the spell is recharged, you can use this again AND use it once inbetween as well).


 * Suggestion
 * Just make it slightly less spammable and a bit mor eskill-requiring. I would say along these lines:
 * . 10 1/2  8.
 * Elite Bow Attack. If this attack hits, it interrupts target foe's action. If that action was a Spell, it is disabled for an additional seconds and you deal + damage. This attack cannot be blocked by Enchanted foes. {Attrib: Marksmanship).
 * The damage makes up for the disabled duration being cut and the condition on the unblockable makes it a bit less reliable as an interrupt. More importantly, having a slightly higher recharge makes it less spammable so that people will need to be a bit more careful with it.

Doesn't need much of a nerf, only borderline overpowered

 * Issue
 * Doesn't need that much of a nerf.


 * Suggestion
 * Don't 25/90 this. Just decrease the disable duration to 4...9...10 seconds, change attribute to expertise.

Alternate functionality

 * Issue
 * Some people complain that it's overpowered.


 * Suggestion
 * Rework. Move to Marksmanship. "Elite bow attack. If Magebane shot hits, target foe loses an enchantment. If an enchantment was removed, it does +10...22...25 damage, otherwise target foe is interrupted."
