[skill]Quick Shot[/skill]

Although it makes no mention of it in the description, quick shot is... quick. There is no delay between using the skill and firing the arrow, which is nice. I've noticed savage shot works like that as well. I'm wondering what other bow attacks (elite or otherwise) have this property.

Any with an activation time. You'll notice that the "slow" attacks dont have one.

Most of the interupts have this quality, so you'll find savage shot, distracting shot, punishing shot and disrupting shot (from GWEN) will all fire with no delay BEFORE, but they all have a 3/4 sec aftercast delay before you can fire again.

Best use for Quickshot is Normal shot->Quickshot->Normal shot->Quickshot...

When the oponent<50% life then you can substitute the nomal shots for Needling shot.

Quickshot its better as a follow-up attack for slow attacks.

Do all bow attacks including quick shot have that aftercast delay?

I've noticed savage shot works like that as well. I'm wondering what other bow attacks (elite or otherwise) have this property. To put it more precisely, Quick Shot fires quickly because it has an activation time less than the bow's normal refire speed of 2-2.7 seconds. If no activation time is listed, then the weapon's refire speed is used instead. In addition to Ranger interrupts, there's several warrior, dervish, paragon, and assassin skills that do this.

[skill]called shot[/skill]>[skill]quick shot[/skill]

With that said Magebane Shot has to be the best for interrupts.

But that's pretty much it...

Meh, I used to be a big fan of Quickshot, it's a decent skill for PvE, but it doesnt get you anywhere in PvP.

Besides ranger is a utility class, you need those slots, there is no point in reserving 2 slots to crippling when you can do it with 1. Also cripshot has a 1 sec recharge and Grasp can be stripped (Corrupt says hi). Not to mention attribute spread.

I see no reason to take Grasp over Cripshot anywhere. But that's just me.

Anyway sry for the offtopic.
