shortbow with flurry hits a little over every half second. (something like .65 or .7 seconds)

Shortbow has a refire rate of 2.0 sec same as flatbow and thats the fastest.
Flight time 0.59 sec
so your calculations seam a bit off

Where did you get that?? That would rock, but alas.

Shortbow fires every 2 seconds, take 33% of, that's 2 - 0.67 == 1.33 sec. Your are at half of that, how?

Okay then... how about Quickshot + Needling Shot? I use that all the time. It's fast. I don't know how fast, but it's fast.

Needling has a 4 sec recharge ... it's only faster when the opponent is below 50% health? Quick Shot is fast, sometimes, when used right.

Problem is, you can not keep up fast firing rates without boatloads of energy.

So, maybe a ranger can chew out arrows at < 1 sec cycles, but only for a short time. Big Deal. Pff, well, maybe nerf kindle and ignite arrows too, and all preps, all way to powerfull with those firing rates.

You shut them down quicker but then it is hard to keep it on at all times with practiced stance. Also flurry lowers attack power and your attack power is low already. It has just went from 15 damage to 10 damage, your going to end up killing them by the time the game is over.

You use quick shot, there is your elite, and then it is impossible to keep it on at all times, which is the whole point of CG rangers, to keep it on at all times.

When we play I get on the Choking with a hammer warrior and start setting him down.
I understand how you think he can shut down 2 people and it is possible if you let him.
He attacks teh ele and now tabs thru till he sees say the heal monk. Hes still flurry firing at the ele( hits every 1.33 seconds...same as ax and sword approx). Unless the Ele uses 1sec casts adn waits to cast until he sees teh damage #s pop up he is shut down. At least until the ranger moves and has to retarget him. Now our ranger isnt watching the ele, just flurry firing away but watching the healer. He now uses Distracting Shot and Savage Shot on the healer. Over and over. Ele shut down monk hindered.
Solution. Moving and mostly making the ranger move. To shut 2 targets down means that both targets are in range of him and not dodging or kiting.
Not sure why you guys got off on bow fire speed. The only time Choking can hit every 1/2 sec is when Savage or Distracting is fired right after a bow shot. There is then a pause(1 Sec Ithink) before another bowshot or interupt can be fired.
Im going to double check myself in my GH if Price or Blind dont work. Not sure how that would be dealt with though. If I was really shooting some kind of gas why not shoot at the ground right by them? Still Price etc mean miss, so no contact... Wording may be off on the effects but regardless CG has been up and down in HA before. I hate being his target, but I hate being a mezmers target too.

The 2 sec is the refire rate of the short bow, witch means that is the rate at witch the bow can fire, not how fast you can cast Savage or Distracting.
And if you use Flurry 33% faster witch gives just over 1.3 sec refire rate.
