Just a bad elite skill. Change it into a real elite version of Called Shot. I just copied the text of Called Shot and combined it with the other stats of Quick Shot. Might be a nice pressure skill, nothing more.

Suggestion

Change it to: "Bow Attack. Shoot an arrow that moves 3 times faster and cannot be blocked." 5* Energy / 1* Activation time / *1 Recharge time.

Above

Suggestion

Change it to: "Elite Bow Attack. If this attack hits, your target loses 1 enchantment." 5, 1, 7

OR

Change it to: "Elite Bow Attack. If this attack hits, your target loses 1 stance." 5, 1, 7

OR

Change it to: "Elite Bow Attack. Your target is interrupted. If you interrupt a skill, that foe loses an enchantment." 10, 1/2, 7

OR

Change it to: "Elite Bow Attack. You shoot an arrow that moves twice as fast. Deals double damage to moving foes. If this shot is blocked your target is interrupted." 5, 1, 5

This skill sucks. It has no real use for skilled builds and it promotes stupid "buff + buff + quickshot spam" builds.

Suggestion

Make it an interrupt. Move it to expertise.

• 10, 1/4, 10 Elite Bow Attack. If this attack hits, it interrupts target foe's action. If that action was a spell, that foe's skills are disabled for 0...2...3 seconds."

If that seems OP, then switch skill disabling to a 2 second knockdown and have a 50% chance to fail at 9 expertise or less, or something. Really, this skill needs some loving.

Skill has little use.

Skill is outclassed by most other Ranger elites.

Suggestion

Make this skill useful by adding synergy for other skills.

10 20

Elite Stance. For 6 seconds your next 1...2...2 ranged attack skills activate 66% faster. ( expertise )

10 12

Elite Stance. Your preperation is removed. For 6 seconds your next 1...3...3 ranged attack skills activate 66% faster. This skill ends when you use a preperation. ( expertise )

5 2 12

Elite Preparation. For 24...30...32 your arrows move twice as fast and you attack 33% faster while wielding a bow. ( expertise )

[edit] Andavigorn's Issue

Suggestion 1

Change it to: "Elite Bow Attack. If this shot hits a foe who is moving 33% faster or faster (and maybe if you are using a preparation), that foe is knocked down." 5, 1, 5

Suggestion 2

Change it to: "Elite Bow Attack. If you are using a preparation and this shot hits, the target is interrupted. This arrow moves twice as fast." 5, 1

I think this change won't make it OP because it is too slow for interrupting skills with less than 2 seconds of activation.
