Distracta-Ranger.

Alright... I haven't been exactly active within the past month so i'm not sure if this has been posted before or is rather common.

I was Comp Arena-ing today on my prot monk and we were about consec 4 when we faced up against a team in the dunes stage. Our team consisted of an Aero, Heal Monk, Prot Monk, and a paladin pre-set. It was about a minute into the game when I noticed that my skills were getting severely shutdown within a matter of seconds. I saw that I was dazed so i just assumed that it was the problem so i just kept on casting anyway (Energy management was easy with two rangers feeding you 2 energy per shot). However, after the dazed ran out, I was still being shutdown non-stop except this time my skills had a painful additional recharge time. My health went down insanely fast now that three rangers redirected there fire to me meanwhile my only self-healing had to come from 2 - 3 second casting timers. After I died, my focus turned onto a ranger who seemed to be having arm spasms as his bow changed directions every half-second. Distracting shot arrows were flying out rather commonly and it drove me insane how easily he destroyed half my skill bar. I was unable to catch the build he used since the round ended shortly after, but I have a basic idea of it after a few visits to the ranger skills section.

I haven't personally tested this build yet and it's rather obvious that there are quite a few gaps in it that I wasn't sure what to put with since I'm not exactly the biggest ranger fan (Not really my style). Feel free to leave any comments.

Edit Extra: Also... you might be able to add choking gas as a preperation and use it with other low cost/very fast casting skills incase distracting somehow doesn't cut it.

he might have used oath shot to recharge all his skills, including distracting shot

He used about 3 to 4 distracting shots consecutively though, I don't believe I saw him sneak any oath shots in there.

with echo + QZ, you can fire distracting shot every 1-2 sec if u arrange the distracting shot 1-2 sec after another.

Or he could simply have had distracting, punishing, savage, and concussion in his skill bar. Throw in a kindle and you've got a nice spike of damage with low energy cost (except for the concussion) and the added bonus of your target not being able to do anything Add a vamp bow and maybe a necro with high blood and OotV and you've got a dead soft target. Add in 2 more rangers with the same build and you've got a dead warrior. I run a similar build on my PvE ranger, and soft targets in Sorrows Furnace are down between 1/2 and 1/4 of the life after one volley. Unleash the henchmen and they're dead before I recharge
