<p>Closing skill feedback area. [bot]</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{ArenaNet namespace notice|skill feedback}}<br /> == Ranger interrupts are borked ==<br /> <br /> ;Issue 1<br /> :Too good for spiking.<br /> <br /> ;Issue 2<br /> :Aftercast is annoying<br /> <br /> ;Issue 3<br /> :Some of them require a larger incentive to use as an interrupt.<br /> <br /> ;Issue 4<br /> :Some of them are too expensive to be useful.<br /> <br /> Let's look at the bow interrupts:<br /> <br /> *Distracting Shot-Cheap with a great secondary effect and a recharge that isn't prohibitive. The damage doesn't promote range spike and this is therefore balanced.<br /> <br /> ;Suggestion<br /> :Nothing.<br /> <br /> *Savage Shot-Cost is only a bit expensive because it isn't elite and has a low recharge. However it is too useful for spiking which keeps the cost up. The conditional is nice but not nice enough.<br /> <br /> ;Suggestion<br /> :Reduce energy to 5, increase recharge to 6 or 7 seconds, increase conditional damage, add &quot;This arrow inflicts half damage&quot;. This way, if you spike with it, it won't do much damage as you miss out on the conditional damage AND do half of your base damage.<br /> <br /> *Punishing Shot-Doesn't really deserve to be elite. The extra damage is pitiful but unconditional encouraging range spike over interrupting.<br /> <br /> ;Suggestion<br /> :Rangers who use this properly should be able to inflict 80-100 damage easily on 60 armor, while rangers who use this poorly should do almost normal damage. Cut base damage to 1/2, increase unconditional damage to 10...22...25, and add &quot;If you interrupt a skill you strike for an additional +5...29...35 damage.&quot; which is +60 damage at 15 marksmanship, reasonable for an elite considering that it is CONDITIONAL. If you use it to range spike, you end up doing about 40-50 damage which is only slightly better than your normal attack damage.<br /> <br /> *Magebane Shot-Cheap, elite version of dshot. Unblockable. I would say that this is balanced due to the energy cost.<br /> ;Suggestion<br /> :Nothing. Doesn't need a buff.<br /> <br /> *Disrupting Shot-Worst ranger interrupt. 10 energy and 15 second recharge is prohibitive.<br /> <br /> ;Suggestion<br /> :Reduce energy to 5, reduce recharge to 8 seconds.<br /> <br /> For all of the bow interrupts, their aftercast can now be removed.</div>
