wow, distracting shot eh? + distracting Lunge (which is the one echoed) and then serpents quickness as usual. Just a different take on the norm.
With it all running, you should 'distract' your foe roughly once every 1.5 seconds, i.e. every pet attack, plus another from distracting shot every 6 seconds. I dont like downtime -.-

that may be the build with the most interupt potential Ive seen n a while. You better hope you have friends who can deal damage, though, cus you sure cant. You could be able to deal damage AND still interupt well if you add ferocious strike and keep 16 BM. F.S. will also allow you to maintain your energy almost indefinately, it would give you much more longetivity, to keep interupting again and again in a long game.

Damage and Endurance vs a *little* more interupt. You pick.

Distracting lunge deals +9 on basic pet attack which is about the same as bow, and with call of haste your whacking them a fair bit. Id say you might get about 40dps out of it, but thats not really the point. Both skills cost 5 energy, thats 2 at 14 expertise.... im sure if i put a zealous mod on id be more than happy, althogh maybe take out call of protection and put in ferocious just in case..... i mean i dont actually have an elite here.....

o yeah, it is...... whats wrong with me....

no, i feel echo is somewhat intergral, ill just take 14 expertise and zealous string.... there is a downtime between echos that can be used for regaining energy. Think of it as a spike interrupter then.
