Spelt= spelled
/fail
The "ed" at the end of "Spelled" is more common in American English. "Spelt" is a perfectly fine alternative in the UK.

Comment on the OP's Build. So if Alex is right, and you mean Distracting Strike, why would you want to take that over Distracting Blow in that build, where there is no Cracked Armor?

I am an American, so Americanized English is what I use. Spelt is commonly used to refer to a hexaploid species of wheat, at least in the rest of the world. I don't know the conjugations of words in that lovely country, but according to the Oxford English Dictionary site either would be right.

I concede that I am partially wrong, but not completely. /Partial-Fail
Many apologies if I offended any Brits, it was unintentional

BrE ftw, in AmE 'r' is pronounced in a funny way ^^ But no offense Americans! ^^
OT:
Build seems ok, especially for RA or so. But I still prefer to stick with Dervish elites But good try

Can we first start by correcting the spellings?
Please focus on the build analysis, although I am sure ripping on someone who wrote this off the top of their head is fun, I want you people to evaluate the build. Besides most of you know what I mean..sheesh
By the way, if any of you want's to see it's effectiveness, at interrupting, whisper to me in-game and I'll be happy to show you.
PS no anti-melee shutdown bs because then it's obvious I'll loose.

To be fair, it takes but a moment to scan over it for major errors before you post. Also, you seem to have missed my question:

Damage compression, as DBlow doesn't deal any damage. The AoE advantage DBlow has over DStrike is moot on a scythe. Recharge difference is noticeable, though, but if this is PvE your BHA ranger has things covered right?

Precisely, Distracting Strike, even though it takes longer to recharge, it does deal damage, unlike Distracting Blow. It usually deals 50-100 damage to casters (60A).

More pressing issues...Is Skull Crack justified when compared to Reaper's Sweep or Wounding Strike? Personally, I've never completely believed that Skull Crack was such a bad elite; dazing is awesome. But your lack of a Deep Wound is troublesome.
Your rune setup is horrible. A Superior and two Majors is -145hp. You should run with all Minors preferably, a single Major if you must. You need high HP in PvP, 500-600. Besides, 14 Scythe is not noticeably less damage than 16.
I don't think Shield of Force is a good choice. I'd take an IAS instead. Heart of Fury might be a good choice. Weakening Assassins isn't as effective as it seems, because 90% of their damage comes from armor-ignoring +damage bonuses that Weakness doesn't affect.
I usually play with 410 HP and I fair well...
Skull Crack is good if you time well, of course you need to be good prediction your opponent...
Shield of Force is not necessarily for Assissin, I just gave that example, you can use it to:
1. Protect yourself from interrupt while rezing.
2. Stop an Assassin's combo.
3. Stop attack based Kds.
4. Stop Burning Arrow.
5. Stop annoying/painful attacks.
This build is mostly for having fun, so I never intended it to be an expert PvP build.

if you think you fare well at 410hp then you dont know what "fairing well" is.

Then explain to me, in your infinite knowledge, what "fairing well" means all mighty Coloneh.

About 600hp. Simple.

This thread is epic fail. Nuff said.
30 Nov 2007 at 15:24 - 18
Still, I kinda wish there was a skill called 'Vital Boom' now....
30 Nov 2007 at 15:44 - 19
Charging up for 9 strikes of adrenaline just to cause 10 seconds of conditional daze? I would rather go with YAA.
30 Nov 2007 at 18:32 - 20
YAA dosnt cause dazed.... thats not compareable.
30 Nov 2007 at 19:20 - 21
I'd rather go with Zho [Interrupt Henchmen]

Funny you felt the need to post this. I realize America is not the only country in the world, thus the apology. So are you an American hater, or one of those people who assumes that we Americans are automatically rude and ignorant? I apologized, done deal. Australia speaks The Kings English. Many countries in the world learn American English as a second language (to promote trade). It is simply more common these days to use American English.
So, me being the bigger person here, I will also apologize to any Aussies out there. For future reference I apologize to ANY nationalities I may have offended in any way. It was unintentional that I offend anyone.

If it were the difference between 550 and 600, it would be marginal. 410hp vs 600hp, however, is a lot. High HP is definitely needed in PvP where you will (occasionally) face a coordinated spike. Furthermore you're sacrificing all that health for almost no payoff. As I said, 14 Scythe Mastery vs 16 Scythe Mastery is not a significant difference. On a weapon with a damage range as varied as a Scythe it may be around 1-5 damage difference.

Good point, I usually play just for heck of it, this being a "fun" build, so I hadn't realized that. Thanks for the information.
, considering no one uses Skull Crack
, but trust me I use this in Random Arena and it deals some massive damage
. I haven’t tried it in PvE but it’s good for PvP.
