I onced used to love Melandru Arrows, but I only use it when I am at RA, which I now spent much lesser time in. Also, I think the dmg is not consistant, as its dependent on the target's enchantment.

Indendiary Arrows: Set on fire for 1-3 seconds and interrupt target.
Cost: 5
Recharge: 24
During Time: 8 seconds.

Like I said, I dont care about recharge time, its fine like that because is the Recharge is less than 16(after the preparation go off) seconds, it will be too powerful. IA is like Choking gas, but its interrupt any actions the target, even while he/she/it is stand idle. To make better, it set the target on fire to make -7 degen for 1-3 seconds. This is the basic view.

My view

Most of Rangers who want to be Degen spike use poison arrows, apply poison mixed with conjure phantasm/phantom pain/Life siphon, etc. But I never, never seen with Incendiary Arrows. Why? they saw the recharge time (Thinking its too long), How long it last (Thinking its too short) and the degen duration (Thinking its can be beaten by poison duration with wilderness 16). But can you shot an arrow while the other have Incendiary arrows and shot at you?

Experience

I used once in PvP, and still have at PvE.

In PvP, I never seen Rangers feared like this. Ranger in PvP are mostly: Trappers, Interrupt, Poison Degen, etc. My goal was Interrupt the target under a certain circonstance and do some degen. Instead using Distracting shot and Punishing shot, why not using Incendiary arrows. Got monks down, thinking they will set on fire for a long time (mend when the fire is finish

WTF) and interrupt their healing skills.

In PvE, I was a poison Ranger with Poison Arrow (YaY)while using preparations like Kindle or Exploding arrows and the same time. But the time got this build away and try something else. I tried the Infinite Energy build (Lack of power but not lack of energy thought with Marksman Wager), Practiced Stance + Choking Gas, Enchanters Bane (Melandru Arrows + Dual shot), Interrupt (DUH!) and even Barrage/pet build (Knowing for tombs farm but good to kill a group of enemies too.). So I checked the elite to see which I never seen used by non-original Ranger (sorry for those who feel targeted) and I spotted Icendiary arrows, Melandru Resilence (love it too).

I too when I saw IA for the first time I said it sucked for recharge/ during. But with the time when I played with, this skill was useful than I expected. Turn caster into a human/monster/mursaat Torch is quite funny. But if they can't use a spell or attack for few seconds, this gives you some time to kill him/her/it or max damage.

PVP wise id have to say cripp shot + apply poison FTW!!!

PVE wise either barrage or poison arrow depending on what im doing i guess

Trapper in groups spike trap yea but solo trapping most def oath shot

moriz · Feb 28, 2006, 04:23 PM // 16:23

i just unlocked oath shot with factions. since i'm such a poor interrupter, i sometimes simply shower my opponents with interrupts and hope one of them hits something. with this nifty skill, i essentially have 4 interrupts instead of just 2.

Anarki · Mar 07, 2006, 04:27 PM // 16:27

I always loved Poison Arrow because I can easily tab/space in pvp arena and quickly cause poison on everyone.
Melandru's Arrows is also a cool elite, and Barrage as well but only with Ranger smiter with apply poison to deal massive damage to everyone, but otherwise I dont find it that great.

The Real Roy Keane · Mar 07, 2006, 04:35 PM // 16:35

There is no 'best' as such, but in PvP tombs Oath Shot is pretty godly..

Quaker · Mar 07, 2006, 04:45 PM // 16:45

Barrage is my personal fav these days, but Poison Arrow is a close second. In some instances I like Incendiary Arrows for the interrupt, and Melandru's Arrows can substitute for Poison Arrow.

Mezmo · Mar 08, 2006, 12:24 AM // 00:24

For PvE it's hard to beat barrage for the most part. There are times when other elites are better but barrage seems to be the best for the most parts.

For PvP I like punishing, cripling shot and oath shot. Punishing in a spike build and oath shot for when i use long re-charging skills(like for spirits). Cripling Shot with apply poison is an awesom combo and monks simply can't remove conditions from EVERYONE unless you have a martyr monk sitting around in the back.

Last Roman · Mar 08, 2006, 01:04 AM // 01:04

i also like oath shot myself. But it is not just for pvp, you can solo most of what a invinci monk can solo by being a oath shot trapper.

Horace The Great · Mar 08, 2006, 04:38 PM // 16:38

for dmg: punishing shot
for GvG: crippling shot + apply poison

Diablo Valentire · Mar 08, 2006, 08:30 PM // 20:30

i like punishing shot b.c of the dmg and interupting and mel. resilience b.c, in PvE and PvP, it can keep you alive and with good enegry (especially Grenths Footprint in PvE b.c of Gnashers)

i made quite a good interrupt build...i'm sure it lingers around on this server some where...lemme attach the .txt file i made for it...

Noobie Rank Healer · Mar 08, 2006, 09:35 PM // 21:35

For PvE, I like Escape and Melandru's Arrow
For PvP, I like Oath Shot
And for GvG, Cripple Shot.. + Apply Poison =)
