[skill]Quick Shot[/skill]

Although it makes no mention of it in the description, quick shot is... quick. There is no delay between using the skill and firing the arrow, which is nice. I've noticed savage shot works like that as well. I'm wondering what other bow attacks (elite or otherwise) have this property.

Any with an activation time. You'll notice that the "slow" attacks dont have one.

Most of the interupts have this quality, so you'll find savage shot, distracting shot, punishing shot and disrupting shot (from GWEN) will all fire with no delay BEFORE, but they all have a 3/4 sec aftercast delay before you can fire again.

Best use for Quickshot is Normal shot->Quickshot->Normal shot->Quickshot...

When the oponent<50% life then you can substitute the nomal shots for Needling shot.

Quickshot its better as a follow-up attack for slow attacks.

[skill]needling shot[/skill] is great for dazed caster bosses below 50% hp

Do all bow attacks including quick shot have that aftercast delay?

Only the ones that Interrupt (and maybe others too); Magebane Shot, Savage Shot, Distracting Shot, ...

Absolutely, and it is also lots of fun with choking gas against caster groups

To put it more precisely, Quick Shot fires quickly because it has an activation time less than the bow's normal refire speed of 2-2.7 seconds. If no activation time is listed, then the weapon's refire speed is used instead. In addition to Ranger interrupts, there's several warrior, dervish, paragon, and assassin skills that do this.

[skill]called shot[/skill]>[skill]quick shot[/skill]

With that said Magebane Shot has to be the best for interrupts.

[skill]called shot[/skill] doesnt activate faster then why would someone use it ?

But that's pretty much it...

Meh, I used to be a big fan of Quickshot, it's a decent skill for PvE, but it doesnt get you anywhere in PvP.

I guess the upside would be you can maintain it on a lot more people with less cost in low end PvP?

Well the cost is 10 not 15 (no updates here) but I'm sure you know that. Besides ranger is a utility class, you need those slots, there is no point in reserving 2 slots to crippling when you can do it with 1. Also cripshot has a 1 sec recharge and Grasp can be stripped (Corrupt says hi). Not to mention attribute spread.

I see no reason to take Grasp over Cripshot anywhere. But that's just me.

Anyway sry for the offtopic.

To deliver anything you want delivered by arrow without being blocked, be it cripple, poison or incendiary arrows. If it sees much use is another matter.
