[edit] moush , needs buff -- 16:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Issue
- Little on the weak side for an Elite Ranger interrupt. It's basically an elite savage shot, and there are much better elites rangers can use. Most spikes these days use Glass Arrows so no need to worry bout this making a come back. Not really a point to use this over magebane shot since the measly bonus dmg isn't as good as it being unblockable.
- Suggestion
- Make it cause exhaustion on target if it interrupts a spell. Or maybe have it KD if it interrupts a skill. Recharge would need an increase if these changes were made. Or, Increased damage on the condition that it intrupts a spell.
[edit] This skill is weak
- Issue
- Doesn't do enough damage to be useful as a damage bonus, and interruption rate is only as much as savage shot.
- Suggestion #1
- Reward intelligent use of interrupts as opposed to interrupt spamming. "you gain 1...4...5 energy if a skill was interrupted."
- Suggestion #2
- People complain that "Shields Up" chains ruin ranger interrupts. Solution: If Punishing Shot is blocked, target foe is Dazed for 5...10...11 seconds and interrupted.
- Suggestion #3
- If Punishing Shot is blocked, it recharges instantly.
[edit] All It Needs
Elite Bow Attack. If Punishing Shot hits, you strike for +10...18...20 damage and your target is interrupted. If you interrupt a skill in this way, you strike for an additional +10...30...35 damage.
Keep at 5 recharge. This is all this skill needs to become a viable Marksmanship elite, and it will not affect Punishing Shot's spike potential in the slightest.
- Great idea, perhaps an elite Disrupting Shot with more damage and a third of the recharge.
[edit] This skill needs a buff but I hate range spike
- Issue
- This skill is weak. You're better off just using savage shot.
- Suggestion
- If you interrupt a skill, it criticals. Otherwise you inflict 50% less damage. Increase damage bonus to +10...22...25.
