Interruptors.

I play Comp Arenas all the time for kicks, and I always play casters. Today was the last straw for me, though.
In two hours I played against no less than 3 different interruptors who all sat beside me and made sure I couldn't do shit. This is getting absolutely rediculous. Normally I run into one or two every few hours and they piss the hell out of me, but they're becoming all too common now.

Half the R/Me's I run into carry:
-Concussion Shot
-Savage Shot
-Debilitating Shot
-Distracting Shot
-Power Spike

It's getting rediculous.

I use a 3-skill-combo, and the rest of my spells work around it. They're only half as effective if I don't get the first three off (which takes about 2 seconds). Every single time there's an interruptor on the other side, they interrupt my main skills.

It's RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing retarded.

Now I've been playing this game since the betas, I know how to adapt. But I can't change my skill set and I can't get away from the interruptors, nor can half the spellcasters who play.

Anyone who agrees with me post possible changes to the skills mentioned above.

My suggestions:
-Distracting Shot:
One second cast time.
-Concussion Shot:
Dazed lasts maximum ten seconds.
-Savage Shot:
Make it not interrupt, but do maximum 30 more damage.
-Debilitating Shot:
30 second recharge

Reasoning behind these changes: slow down these stupid interruptors. Matches aren't supposed to be physical fighting only, yet with interruptors playing, spellcasting is currently pretty much useless. If these changes are made, casters can get off some good spells and win the match.

/not signed

First I play casters necro and monk. Monk obviously is a main target. Necro I might slide by butI have been targetted by interruption. This is where the teammates come in. Warriors can pile a good amoount of damage on interruptors. Prot Monks can survive interruption by nay number of ways. Casters can make use of blind effects like Signet of Midnight and other. You can also hide behind walls where there arrows will not hit YET YOUR SPELLS WILL. Im sorry I may not play ranger but I love and hate the ranger class and I love and hate when they piss the hell of me with interruption. I do no want to see them nerfed RANGERS>CASTERS.

All of which are chance based (so spam savage/distracting/punishing and you're probably going to get through with one of them), don't block mesmer interrupts at all, and have horrendous recharge times.

I'm not talking a major revamp here; I'm talking buff Glyph of Concentration so it's usable and give Necromancers an interrupt block or two. Interrupts will still be crazy-powerful, both because most people won't use a skill slot for them and because the aftereffects of the interrupt (increased damage, skill recharge time, etc) still apply.

Not really true. ranger spikers can mount a hell of an offensive from a afar. Rangers/Necro can spam touch skills which most of them go through armor. Ranger/Monks can invest in smiting and beastmastery and have their pets own you. I think Rangers have a lot more option then just trapping and interrupting.

Spamming interrupts means the ranger also becomes a sitting duck and Warriors would more then love that. Also Elemntalists can deal a lot of damage quickly to a ranger even if they have interrupts by using Gale + Earth Spikes.

I mean Ive played against FOUR RANGER teams with interruption, spike damage and one trapper. And our casters still got through. We had one hammer warrior, one lich necro (me) an earth elemntalist and a mesmer IW. And we still kill them pretty easily. Yes I did got interrupted bu the warrior and the mesmer IW solved that. I went for spiker with my touch and dark aura stuff and the erath ele would do gale and after shock on any one who was stupid to fall for it. Id like to add those rangers could have owned us too it could have gone either way its just down to strategy.

I agree. Mesmers are NOT the interrupters. They do interrupts caster however but the Rangers domain is Interrupt just as its the Mesmer domain to Energy Denial or the Warriors domain to Tank while Piling the hurting. Sheesh people just want rangers nerfed... OVERPOWER ALL CLASSES IS WHAT I SAY!

Strong warning for profanity. Think of it as a (European) yellow card or a (US) flag on the field.

I would like to see the OP come back and try to defend himself some more, but I think it would turn into a flame war.

Oh and /not-signed. One of the silliest nerf requests I've seen.

Kai Nui · Dec 09, 2005, 02:40 AM // 02:40

Hey, while we're at it, lets nerf weapons and skills, those are pretty annoying I'd say. Let's turn Teams Arenas in Disco-Teams Arenas! Although since my riverdance is annoying they'd probably nerf my dance and I'd end up doing the standing dance. Where you just stand. Yeah, that'd be a fun game! Then we could change the skills to be like, Dancing Magic, Dancing Prayers, Dancing Dancing Revolution, and Fast Dancing. Ooh that's gonna be fun!

Arcien Trueflight · Dec 09, 2005, 02:48 AM // 02:48

As if the hate for the Ranger class wasn't bad enough, why not just ditch one of the only two builds that actually gets me into a group? No, go ahead, nerf interrupting bow attacks, one of the only things most people see Rangers have going for them, and THEN we'll see how many groups we get into. Might as well just slap some Wilderness Survival on me and call me Trapper Sam, 'Cause that's all that'd be left.

/super-mega-hardcore-find something worthwhile to bitch about un-signed

lol the longest thread with the most /unsigned

I think we get the point that this is rejected so can a Mod close this because this is kind of pointless.

TokranePo · Dec 09, 2005, 03:46 AM // 03:46

just had to sneak in with an /unsigned

I always get pwned by interruptors. Sometimes, though, it is alright because the rest of my team does well while the interruptor neutralizes me and I neutralize him [because he is so focused on me].

O' course, I am not very good at PvP anyway, so you should probably just ignore me

Damon Windwalker · Dec 09, 2005, 03:59 AM // 03:59

No, Fast Dancing would be overpowered. Can I call for a nerf on something that hasn't even been created?

Pompeyfan · Dec 09, 2005, 04:26 AM // 04:26

The OP's post is the funniest thing I've read in ages 'I want to play a specific build and not have to change or adapt it, so can we nerf anything that prevents that?'

The sad thing is - that's what nearly every nerf request really boils down to....

Like....monks hate mesmers.....casters hate interrupt/spiker rangers. I surely get upset sometimes when i go with my monk in competion arenas, but what can i do?

Technically not. Interrupting a person won't kill him, only damage will.

But, leaving my smartass-side to grin for himself, I think it's fine for people to interrupt others. Now, I DO think rangers have slightly too many disruption skills but then again, isn't that the role of the ranger? Being a pain in the ass to the enemy and driving them crazy while the casters (those who DON'T stand in one place and waste time casting a spell that everyone can dodge) take care of the enemy? Rangers throw in degen too, naturally, just to be more annoying than they already are.

The way I see it in every game I've played it's been like this:

ranged>spells
spells>melee
melee>ranged
That's the way it is in every game, so live with it!!!!
