Now wait for another auto-attack and hit quick shot immediately after. It takes a while to get into the rhythym of it, but once you do you should be getting massive returns out of it.
Barrage outclasses it for general play, but for pure single target DPS it's the best you have under ranger. Id rather have SS as my elite /hides from torch wielding mob
Yes, you can time it so your a simultaneous attack with 2 arrows, but I think Barrage would be more useful, because you dont often find single mobs(Dont PvP, but Im sure itd be good there), unless its a boss, and even then theres usually a "entourage" around it.

not really that awful gift of health (non elite) disables all healing prayer for monks but goes nicely with the blessed light monk for pvp. (its a template if you wanna look and see) Furthermore some elite fit nicely with some builds and some simply do not just remember before you criticise one mans trash is another mans treasure or 'one mans bad elite is another persons l33t elite ;P or something like that... Monks using GoH don't use any other healing prayers. Warriors with primal rage presumably have 7 other skills.

I don't think that there are any really bad elites.
e.g. even Unyielding Aura may be useful (mostly in PvE) - quite quick rez providing full energy, in the middle of the battle, just can remove it after defending foes, and then have time for other ressurection skills.
but Primal Rage is really a bit far from perfection

I really like Shatterstone now. SS+Vapor Blade's ~350 damage. Rainbow spike anyone?
Keystone signet STILL sucks. I created a mesmer using signets, Mantra of Inscriptions, Symbolic Celerity, and the Artificer's Armor, and I still refuse to use Keystone Signet. Recharge down to about . . . 15 seconds would be nice, so that together with the two skills I mentioned it's 1/2 sec cast time, 7.5 sec recharge time.
Now THAT would be worth using.
Primal Rage also kinda sucks too, although the name is awesome.

Off the top of my head, the worst Elite is basically any Ranger Spirit Elite. But more specifically, Equinox, because it rarely helps you. Sure, you can combo it with Arcane Languor, but that's 2 Elites. And it doesn't do much. I've got the build for equinox but its for Heros ascent

I imagine youre right, but since I dont PvP, I cant say anything about that aspect of it.

I'd say...
No. If you want to spike, use something on the lines of Dual/Punishing/etc.
My personal worst elite...really can't think of any at the moment, possibly Energy Boon or Keystone Sig.

-Keystone signet is still bad.
-Energy Boon is bad too. Good for monk or necro maybe but they don't have primary energy storage.
-Primal rage is efficiently weak too. TOO MUCH conditional. Good for dps on the dumies only, since in real combat situation you will need to use other skill pretty often.
-Withdraw hexes - a way too much backside compare to the boost that is almost imposible to use.
btw with the last update they did pretty good job boosting a lot elites that felt weak, but I think some needs more attention
