I have been Interrupting in RA for several months now. I've tried many differant builds but these are my favorites.

ALL Builds use a Recurve Bow, unless otherwise noted.

Kindle Interrupt:

expertise: 14
wilderness survival: 12
marksmanship: 12

[skill]kindle arrows[/skill][skill]punishing shot[/skill][skill]savage shot[/skill][skill]distracting shot[/skill][skill]dual shot[/skill][skill]mending touch[/skill][skill]Lightning reflexes[/skill][skill]Resurrection signet[/skill]

the use of this build is pretty simple. open with dualshot followed by punishing shot.
whenever dual shot is used, follow it up with savage or punishing shot. save distracting shot for res sig and other annoying skills.


Glass Interrupt

Expertise: 15
Marksmanship: 16

[skill]glass arrows[/skill][skill]savage shot[/skill][skill]distracting shot[/skill][skill]concussion shot[/skill][skill]debilitating shot[/skill][skill]mending touch[/skill][skill]Lightning reflexes[/skill][skill]Resurrection signet[/skill]

You must have high expertise and marksmanship (debilitating shot destroys 11 energy at 16 marks)
the plus 20 damage from glass arrows and the fact that you don't need to reapply as often makes it worth the elite spot.
I have noticed that the 20 damage from glass arrows does not stack with the set damage from distracing shot or concussion shot (bug?)
Probably don't need to say this but: DO NOT SPAM CONCUSSION SHOT, save it for long cast spells.

Interrupts with Conditions

expertise: 14
wilderness survival: 12
marksmanship: 12

[skill]apply poison[/skill][skill]punishing shot[/skill][skill]savage shot[/skill][skill]distracting shot[/skill][skill]screaming shot[/skill][skill]mending touch[/skill][skill]Lightning reflexes[/skill][skill]Resurrection signet[/skill]

Use a poisonous bow string, follow up screaming shot with either punishing or savage shot.


4 Conditions (Extremely energy intensive, don't use a skill if it's not needed.)

Expertise: 14
Wilderness Survival: 10
Marksmanship: 14

[skill]apply poison[/skill][skill]savage shot[/skill][skill]pin down[/skill][skill]broad head arrow[/skill][skill]screaming shot[/skill][skill]mending touch[/skill][skill]Lightning reflexes[/skill][skill]Resurrection signet[/skill]

Use 3 differant bows with this build, 1 poisonous recurve, 1 crippling recurve and 1 silencing short bow.
pin down the target then move in close while switching to short bow. when near enough (half aggro circle or better) use Broad Head Arrow (watch for block), Keep the conditions on the target so that removal of daze is nigh impossible!


[edit]The last 3 skills are the always on my bar, though Lightning Reflexes is a recent addition due to its recent buff.

15 second reduction counts as a buff, I think.

Surely someone has something to say?
