 Stylish PvP Builds

It happens so that sometimes I'm asked in private conversations regarding particular advantages which running a bow Mesmer in RA, HA or FA provides.
There still aren't many people in the game who could name them all, at the same time, if these builds of mine were shared here, I feel the necessity to make
clear-cut clarifications of this. There are 3 main distinctions which make the bow Mesmer differ from the regular one. The first is discrepant delivery time
between Dshot and the other rupts, which allows to pull off well-measured rupting combos of something like Cure Hex + Patient Spirit for example,
comprising the means of reversed interruption chains starting with Dshot followed by aftercast delay and another rupt. The second one is the way Dshot itself
lands them, that is: the interruption of any possible action, including spells and regular skills, which it disables. Add 10 seconds recharge to that, which can't be
spotted on any of the existing Mesmer rupts, with Psychic Instability being the closest to it, but unlike the first rupt, representing an Elite spell (with a different rupt time).
So basically, Dshot on the Mesmer's bar resembles an improved version of Leech Sig that has its recharge time reduced by 2/3 mixed with Complicate which
removes affected skills from play for 20 seconds. Here, it's also important to note that an attempted-to-cast-skill disabling effect caused by spells such as Complicate,
Power Block, Power Lock and Signet of Distraction occurs even if interrupt itself has been prevented. Another significant point is that combining Distracting Shot
with the other no prerequisites rupts such as Cry of Frustration allows to maintain an extended skills usage-preventive chain, such as Dshot+Cry+Dshot on
Claim Resource (which can not be disabled) at The Courtyard or The Hall of Heroes during KotH objective, for example. Moreover, if your position on the site's terrain
is higher than the one your opponent is at, the range of your bow interrupt will exceed the initial, nigh the aggro-bubble radius specified for common, weapon-free
interruptive abilities. You can clearly see that upon playing a match in Fort Aspenwood on the side of the Kurzicks, where you'll be given the ability of targeting
spellcasters from hills or the fort's walls at an increased range. I'm not sure about GvG, since I've made no attempts of putting together something similar for it,
and running around with a bow appears as fairly-risky venture, but outside of this format, bow Mesmers surely have their own, distinctive advantages.
