 * This skill is not only usable by non-Rangers to the same effect, but it's short recharge coupled with a long disable duration make it easy to lock out several of an enemy's skills without even trying, especially when used in conjunction with Savage Shot.


 * Suggestion
 * Bow Attack. Interrupts and action. Interruption effect: interrupted skill is disabled for +20 seconds. Hits for only damage.

Shouldn't be usable by non-rangers for cheap skill disable

 * Issue
 * Effectively requires no attribute investment since serious players use this for interrupt/disable and not damage. BTW anyone who uses this for damage is bad even by PvE standards. I once made a mesmer interrupting build with this skill since it's much better than mesmer interrupts even with no expertise. There's a Rt/R vampiric weapon spiker with dual shot and dshot. If you're unlucky, you get skills disabled. This is also the most overpowered ranger interrupt. If the recharge was lowered to 7 seconds it would make a great elite.


 * Suggestion 1
 * Lower recharge to 7 seconds, make it elite


 * Suggestion 2
 * Scale disable duration 3...15...18 seconds. That way it can't lock out skills as well without ub3r attribute investment.72.71.234.146 14:34, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
