I'm just curious, has anybody used Concussion Shot (the ranger daze) in Tombs without coupling it with Arcane Conundrum or Migrane?

It's very powerful in the random arenas because people there are fool enough to throw out Meteor and Firestorm and whatnot, but in Tombs everybody goes for fast casting so it's much harder to interrupt. That goes double for monks, who's slowest spells seem to take 1 second.

Does anyone use this skill by itself in Tombs, and if so, how and when?

concussion shot is very useful with Tiger's fury, frenzy, etc... it keeps them interrupted with fast attacks. Much better than inciendary arrows IMO

I'm well aware that once dazed, Tiger's Fury is more or less a total shutdown until the daze wears off. However, the problem (especially in Tombs) is actually getting the shot off to daze someone. You can't spam it like you can Distracting Shot and just hope to hit a monk at the right time.

And the fact that Dazed can be easily wiped by a Monk using Mend Ailment/Condition, and that any Dazed caster is sure to scream out that they're Dazed like you wouldn't believe (via TS/Vent/team channel/control + click), since its one of if not the worst condition.

Its a great combo, but hard to exploit against capable teams. I almost feel bad when I do it to casters in the random arena, though.

If I needed to use concussion shot without cocondrum/migraine I'd use it against elementalists. They use alot of skills with over 1s casting time. If you are mesmer you can continue with epidemic to spread it if there are any enemies around.

Hey, this would make a cool combo for some situations.... concussion, epidemic, barrage, serpets quickness.
