Default what interupts do you use and why?

this is just me wondering what people prefer....

so i use distracting shot because of it disaibling the enimies skill for that 20 seconds.... and its low energy cost


i also use concussion shot because of it dazing the enemy and its low recharge time....only problem is its energy cost...but them agian with 12 expertise its not all that bad

Punishing Shot is handy. It deals unconditional damage AND interrupts.

What I run for fun is concussion shot and prepared shot, coupled with read the wind, with prepared shot + expertise the energy cost for concussion is extremely manageable

Distracting shot and savage shot are always on my rangers bar, simply because they're so amazing.

Exactly. All my bow builds have both skills, sometimes BHA for that. Same goes for my heroes.

Magehunter's shot is pretty fun now. It's like a dshot that'll always hit through blocks!

Definitely fun in PvE if you're getting sick of barrage.

Distracting Shot & Savage Shot here too, then with added BHA in certain situations.

Stopped using Punishing Shot a while ago and after the skill balance update I might put Magehunter's Shot on a hero.

broad head arrow and distracting shot. that's it.
punishing shot i'll put on a hero once in a while, since they don't use bha very effectively. ie on warriors.
concussion shot takes too much energy. an interrupt should be ready to go whenever you need it, and trying to keep the extra energy on hand is just annoying.
savage shot is nice, but again, i tend to run on low energy and distracting shot only costs 3 vs 6 with savage.

I normally go R/me. (PvE)

Distracting Shot...

I found to be the fastest means of getting off an interupt

Power Spike...

when I need to interupt and get a quick boost of energy

"You Move Like a Dwarf"...

which, I feel, is turning out to be the best interrupt skill in game (once your Norn title jumps up)

R/any (PvP)

Distracting Shot...

Disrupting Shot...

relative low cost and good damage output at times

Savage Shot...

Same as disrupting shot

Same as above

Magebane Shot

Distracting + Savage all the way.

The only time I'll load up BHA or Magebane now is if I really need some extra interupting power. But for the mostpart, those two do the job for me.

only one person said barrage/warmonger's, odd
and no prepstance/choking gas :O

otherwise the usual combo of ds + savage unless I am going for an interrupting build then start chucking in BHA if PvE Magebane/Punishing, etc.
