Easily Interrupted

All Traps (5 of them)
Crude Swing (Hammer attack hitting all around like Cyclone Axe)
Precision Shot (Ranger Marksmanship attack)

Why are these made to be easily interrupted? Any thoughts?

If anything, the hammer attack should not be since Axe/Sword have skills that hit all around without interruption chance. Is it to offset the damage that hammer does in comparison?

Precision Shot is a skill that cannot be blocked or evaded, so that probably justifies it. However, called shot does the same, with the added benefit of 3x faster.

It does suck that traps are interupted so easy,and so is Troll Unguent,total bs

troll ungent isnt "easily interupted"

the traps are because they are...well...traps, you dont set traps while the prey is looking....

the hammer attack is called "crude" because its...well....self explanitory

prehaps a ranger could enlighten us on presision shot

Crude Swing: probably due to the fact that Hammer does the most damage, simple as that, and Crude Swing would just be too obnoxious otherwise.

Precision Shot: my guess here is that it balances the fact the Precision shot does extra damage and cannot be blocked or evaded.

Traps: This prevents a Ranger from running straight into a group, laying down multiple traps over and over and over again. I think if they weren't easily interruptable, then you would teams and teams of trappers just laying sets and sets of traps at the foot of the opposing teams.

BTW: Troll Ungent is NOT easily interruptable!!!!!!!!!!!!!

troll is not easily interuted
although traps
yes as said above lol
and Crude self explenatory ^^

If you are crafty you can get off traps 70% of the time, using stances and opportunities. But laying traps like dustrap and barbed trap whenever you wanted could easily destroy warriors, who already have it bad enough

Healing Spring is easily interruptable.

Crude swing is becuase hammers are double handed. Thus you have to toss your body off balance to use it like that.You're swinging a huge hammer around, not a small axe (1 handed) or a sword (1 handed).

Crude swing is well...crude.

Precision shot is to represent the fact that you are concentrating on the target to make sure they don't block or evade it and doing extra damage, meaning a lot of concentration. Basically, it's just balancing the fact that it's better than power shot with the easy interrupt.

Traps...well, can you imagine being hit while trying to set a trap? BANG!! Maybe they should change the easily interrupted to 50% chance of setting off if hit damaging all creatures in range, but doing extra damage to the setter.

well you can be a mesmer seconday and use mantra of persistance...

crude swing has a bigger radius than the other aoe attacks i believe (might be wrong) it is also in the hammer line which has some of the best attacks that are countered by high adrenaline costs.

Isn't Healing Spring kinda considered a trap?
On the top of my head:
Barbed Trap
Spike Trap
Dust Trap
Flame Trap

That's four, so Healing Spring is the fifth?
w/e, it doesn't matter as long it is easily interrupted

They're easily interrupted, but that's what these skills are for:
Whirling Defense
Dryder's Defense
Escape
Etc.. all Ranger skills that avoid attacks.

I think you mean Mantra of Concentration.. where the next time you would be interrupted, you aren't.

That one is a lot more realistic, TBH. It'd be a LOT harder to go in a circle with a two-handed hammer and not be stopped by something than it is with a one-handed sword or axe. Besides, it is a "crude" swing, isn't it?

Mantra of Resolve would be better for that situation.

Troll juice may not say it,but it is very easily interupted go try it,any type of attack will knock you out of it,I dont even carry it anymore since I switched secondary to monk

Yeah, Troll Unguent is not "easily interrupted," but it's long cast time makes it easy to interrupt.

Makes me smile everytime when I hit Trolling player with distract shot. So easy and for bonus the target usually meats his/her death soon after.

No it doesn't suck, it makes it fun killing rangers even more.

n00blets ^^

yeah... both Mantra of Concentration and Mantra of Resolve work great for using Traps... if u want to be one of those trappers that just runs right in an lays them... go with Resolve... if u want to just lay the occasional trap or two... go with Concentration

as for Troll Unguent... it is not easily interupted but since it has a 3 sec casting time it does leave plenty of time for it to be interupted

Before I switched to monk secondary I was Ranger/Ele,and I found the Glyph of Concentration to work really well in this way too,forgot to mention that last night
