I'd actually replace BHA with either Crippling Shot or Burning Arrow.

In the meantime, you can switch targets and focus your other interrupt skills on a different target. Quite a useful tactic if the party is dealing with multiple enemy casters.

This can be done better (IMO) using ebon assassin. Shoot BHA then cast assassin, by the time the arrow hits the sin will be on target, will knock the foe down (because of the condition) and start hitting.
Because of high IAS of daggers, it may result in close to 100% interrupts.
To deal an additional big amount of damage, use sleuth hunter shot, which in case of daze will benefit of the extra damage.

For heroes, I prefer Magebane or Punishing, their reflexes are godly compared to mine.

BHA then ebon assassin......tab to next target.

Magebane is better than BHA on heros.

Hmm, it seems that something needs to be updated somewhere along the line. The Magebane Shot description above is nothing like the actual skill as listed at http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Magebane_Shot and in my skills list.

Concussion Shot takes a lot more energy and has to interrupt a Spell in order to daze the target.

Wakka · Dec 15, 2007, 12:57 AM // 00:57

Yes the forums have been out of date for quite some time. You'll also find that skills such as [skill=text]Glyph of Lesser Energy[/skill] havent even been updated and no EotN skills have been added either ^^

Concussion Shot is a lovely skill but the high energy cost really gets you. I ran it tonight against Duncan and it worked lovely although I need a BR every so often so I could afford both this and Apply Poison.

Broad Head Arrow is a good skill when you are up against a really tough boss. But other then that I wouldn't equip it. The flight time and recharge time makes me stay away from it in general.
To be honest, I haven't tried Magebane shot yet. Ive always been statisfied with punishing shot, d-shot and savage shot. I'll give it a try though

I am like this as well I like Punishing Shot I haven't thought of capping Magebane but I just don't use Punishing on castors I use on melee as well say Derv or Sins.You can't use it on well Sin for the most part maybe Dervs and yes Warrior and other Rangers.I wouldn't use BHA for PvP and Magebane is for interrupting castors.Punishing Shot can do it all.

BHA wins because you cab frontload dazed condition, which means its much less risky to use in situation you really want dazed (nasty ele/rt boss), and mode complete shutdown.

with consussion you are left to interrupt 1/4 to 1/2 spells (hm+boss bonus on 1s and 2s spells). GL with that.

Moonlit Azure · Dec 16, 2007, 04:12 PM // 16:12

BHA has a high arc, and it moves too slow. On the other hand magebane cannot be blocked making it easier for you to hit targets like rangers with [skill]whirling defense[/skill] or monks with[skill]aegis[/skill]

Not to mention the high energy cost of bha.

So my choice is [skill]magebane shot[/skill]

Arguably one of the worst Ranger interrupt skills ever made. Too energy intensive and conditional.

LifeInfusion · Dec 16, 2007, 07:09 PM // 19:09

I like Magebane better but in PVE you won't have as much condition removal and in hard mode it will be hell to try to interrupt the halved cats time of some of the spells.

its not hard to hit a foe with a casting time of 1 or 2 (even in hardmode) you just have to await the right moment and not "spam" it and btw expertise cuts the 25 energy in pieces

Heroes use Magebane as a normal attack skill, meaning they'll use it randomly on any target whether it's using a skill or not.

If you've got fast reflexes, save your elite and use this. Whether it's too energy intensive or not depends on the player. It doesn't have to be spammed. It's also perfectly fine to go 12/12 marks/exp in pve. If you happen to be using Prepared shot and are quick, it can be godly. Many devastating spells in HM are 2sec cast, which are still easy to interrupt with the ai's hm bonuses. It all depends on the player skill.

As for pve....BHA for sure in HM. Magebane in NM.

Gotta be BHA, since the rest of your team will be pressuring the caster u need to die most, usually the monk if thers one, he will be pretty much shut down for good, very useful for the lvl 28 monk bosses in HM
