A flatbow, it's primary use is to deliver choking gas, as frequently as possible and - together with shortbows - flatbows have the fastest refire rate.

Flatbows have a long travel time and also miss frequently with kiters. I can achieve the same delivery time with Flurry+Recurve bow and with far greater accuracy.

You're right there, Jeff. Recurves are the standard for interrupters. Congrats on getting that bow. =)

A Flatbow + Flurry refires even faster.

But, I hadn't noticed it was for HA and in PvE the critters don't kite. In PvP and when using other interupts kiting becomes might be more of an issue.
Still, Choking Gas also does it job when the arrow 'misses', using a flatbow with CG might be worth an experiment.

Oh trust me, unless you are VimWay you are almost always moving in Hero's Ascent. Plus the long arrow travel time and arc is the main problem since most monks tend to be out of CG Range before the arrow lands. I may catch them off guard once but then they know what's going on by then.

What congrats, I bought it after farming the FoW. The energy mod though works WONDERS with this build thanks to expertise. The full HP mod is nifty too.
