I haven't played for a while, and I came back. It's only been a month or so, so I'm not talking about last year. But some time ago I could play as either my interrupter and flameslinger, and in both cases dealth good damage. Now, my interrupter w/ punishing/dual/savage can't seem to dish out even moderate amount of damage. Was there an update or something?

well, it'd be helpful if you specified where and when this lack of damage came up. what were you attacking? what type of style were you playing? PvE or PvP? there's a lot of variables to be considered, but i personally haven't seen any type of damage nerf on rangers.

The only change is there is now an aftercast of 1.5 seconds after you do an interrupt which means you can't go dual, punishing, savage and have them all hit at pretty much the exact same time. There's now a pause after the punishing.

No damage nerf...Actually Punishing Save spammers have been getting annoying lately.

When playing Air spike, I can't do a thing.

Some update messed up ranger's interrupts so Anet had to fix them again.

And no, no nerfs - Anet can't nerf much PvP content before the end of Guild Wars 2006 World Championship.
Btw, using ranger spike in GvG/HoH w/ this bug was up was considered exploiting by most GW players...
