it cant be dodged or evaded.. it always hits, this is an extremely annoying skill apply poison with this you can take out any warior, hit em and run if they try to self heal use ditracting shot and over time you will win, you can even 2v1 warriors with this skill

I was messing around with it in random arenas yesterday and using a short bow it missed a target 3 times.. it is dodgeable.

With the 1 second recharge on Crippling Shot, reapplying the conditions isn't so hard. Besides, I use that combo in the Competition Arenas, where monks are rare and Martyr monks are even rarer. When I run into monks or W/Mo's using Mend Ailment, though, it requires some quick thinking or a strategy change... I'd love to hop into a HoH team that would allow me to use this combo or adapt it somehow... but alas, rangers are only used for spiking and trapping, which I'm not so fond of.

If you use Favorable Winds, Read the Wind, or a Composite/Recurve type bow, you can hit pretty much anything. Only thing that would make your arrow miss in that situation would be objects in the way or your target turning on a run ability and running perpendicular to your arrow's trajectory.

It IS dodgable (They can Strafe to miss the arrow).

It just cannot be "Blocked" or "Evaded" (Ex. like skills that have a certain percentage chance to "block" or "evade" certains attacks).

If it were "Cannot be Blocked or Dodged" it would be atleast 500 times better...

aye, I was just trying to make clear that it could be dodged without any other buffs.

(talk about a late post..)

I haven't had my arrows miss when using a Recurve bow or arrow speed buffs, even when my target is strafing. As I said, unless they're sprinting AND on a perpendicular path to my bow shots, my arrows hit their mark. Try it out, use a Recurve bow and Crippling Shot and see how often you miss

This would be nice skill if it wasn't 15 energy and had a longer cripple duration, after all it is supposed to be elite. I guess that's what expertise is for, reducing the cost. I suppose the reason the duration isn't very long must be that it is for when you MUST cripple an enemy, and duration is important, but then it should cost 5 energy tbh
