this is just me wondering what people prefer....

so i use distracting shot because of it disaibling the enimies skill for that 20 seconds.... and its low energy cost


i also use concussion shot because of it dazing the enemy and its low recharge time....only problem is its energy cost...but them agian with 12 expertise its not all that bad

Punishing Shot is handy. It deals unconditional damage AND interrupts.

What I run for fun is concussion shot and prepared shot, coupled with read the wind, with prepared shot + expertise the energy cost for concussion is extremely manageable

Distracting shot and savage shot are always on my rangers bar, simply because they're so amazing.

Magehunter's shot is pretty fun now. It's like a dshot that'll always hit through blocks!

Definitely fun in PvE if you're getting sick of barrage.

Distracting Shot & Savage Shot here too, then with added BHA in certain situations.

Stopped using Punishing Shot a while ago and after the skill balance update I might put Magehunter's Shot on a hero.

broad head arrow and distracting shot. that's it.
punishing shot i'll put on a hero once in a while, since they don't use bha very effectively. ie on warriors.
concussion shot takes too much energy. an interrupt should be ready to go whenever you need it, and trying to keep the extra energy on hand is just annoying.
savage shot is nice, but again, i tend to run on low energy and distracting shot only costs 3 vs 6 with savage.

I normally go R/me. (PvE)

Distracting Shot...

I found to be the fastest means of getting off an interupt

Power Spike...

when I need to interupt and get a quick boost of energy

"You Move Like a Dwarf"...

which, I feel, is turning out to be the best interrupt skill in game (once your Norn title jumps up)

R/any (PvP)

Distracting Shot...

Disrupting Shot...

relative low cost and good damage output at times

Savage Shot...

Same as disrupting shot

Same as above

Distracting + Savage all the way.

The only time I'll load up BHA or Magebane now is if I really need some extra interupting power. But for the mostpart, those two do the job for me.

only one person said barrage/warmonger's, odd
and no prepstance/choking gas :O

otherwise the usual combo of ds + savage unless I am going for an interrupting build then start chucking in BHA if PvE Magebane/Punishing, etc.

Distracting and Savage are my standard first 2 slots on most builds .
Occasionally I'll drop Savage for BHA but D-shot doesn't leave my bar (ever)

Same as the others on D-shot. It's always there. Depending on what build I'm using, either BHA, Savage or in the case of R/Rt builds, warmonger's.

Sometimes i just load up my bar with 4 interrupts for the hell of it.

Magebane Shot or Punishing Shot
Savage Shot
Distracting Shot
Disrupting Shot

It's really overpowered and unnecessary.

FUN!

Called Shot w/ Choking Gas looks like a fun combo, especially when ur far away from ur target.

if u want elite then broad head arrow is the shizzle, especially in arenas with many casters, especially against an ele, i cant imagine how pissed they get after getting all their skills interrupted

i usually ALWAYS kill the ele

Broad Head Arrow, Distracting Shot and Savage shot.

BHA with it's 20 second daze absolutely owns casters.

Distracting shot for it's 20 second skill shutdown works wonders on an enemy who spams, say, Heal sig.

Savage shot because of it's low energy/recharge time.
