Type skill
Are you sure this is of type "skill" and not Bow Attack? -- Xeon 02:04, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

Best icon ever?
I say this qualifies into the running.--Gigathrash 18:58, 2 August 2007 (CDT)

Fun with A/R
The bonus damage is insane. I mean, just ridiculous! +34 for interrupting a Skill; +65 or something if they're not doing anything; +32 unconditionally; +50 or so on a Critical. And in PvE, if you use Sloth Hunter's Shot for your first attack, you are practically guaranteed to hit a foe not using a Skill.

Oh, and in other news this combines well with Tease, Wastrel's Worry, Blackout... (T/C) 02:40, 5 August 2007 (CDT)
 * You have read Wastrel's Worry, right? Zulu Inuoe 04:52, 5 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah, of course I have. The point is, you can combine for pressure/spike. Both WW and Sloth Hunter's Shot encourage them to use skills. This causes panic moreso than either skill alone. WW -> 67 or so damage right? Well, perhaps that's not enough to entice you to use some skill...Sloth Hunter's Shot -> another 65 or so damage right? So, same thing. But! Combine them together, and if you don't hurry up and use a skill you get about 130 armor-ignoring damage. That's enough to cause panic for any PvP player, imo. Either way they are screwed: they either have to use some skill prematurely (giving you opportunities for disruption) or they take huge damage. To be honest this skill could have been called "Wastrel Hunter's Shot". [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 13:47, 5 August 2007 (CDT)
 * I don't like when people discuss the old Mesmer ways in public. The days of causing havoc are dead, as is with chivalry, and besides, hardly anyone is good at it anymore.. Zulu Inuoe 18:25, 5 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Izzys' way of buffing Bow Rangers I guess. Not like Rangers in PvP will take them anyway, since damage is not their specialty. Might be useful on splits, but with no new elites, Burning Arrow is still pinned to their skillbar. At least until the balance update that's incoming, but that isn't likely to touch on Ranger elites. --Kale Ironfist 19:56, 5 August 2007 (CDT)

Add in a Sundering Hornbow where you get the lucky trigger while you're on a hill. I could see some serious damage coming...DUCK!!! I've had some very lucky hits in Aspenwood firing from the hill above Master Gunther doing 120dmg with my Sundering Ivory Bow with Burning Arrow. I am so looking forward to using this.--BeeD 01:00, 6 August 2007 (CDT)
 * And I get crits relatively often with Keen Arrow on my Glass Arrows build for 135 or so, instead of using a PoS attack like BA --Gimmethegepgun 02:12, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

Does anybody see this being used with Gale- Rspike gogo? --82.157.101.73 02:05, 15 August 2007 (CDT)

Maybe put this on a D/R AoL build, use it when enemies aren't using skills and attacking normally when they are.. Entheos Geon ‎ 02:43, 16 August 2007 (CDT)

Yakslappin 15:36, 16 August 2007 (CDT) I laughed at the name ^_^;; All fear the sloth hunter!

Dazed
Tested this yesterday to great effect. This is an excellent skill but certainly not too powerful.

Could someone add a note saying that it combines very well with the Dazed condition. Pretty much in the same way that savage shot won't give you the bonus damage if you try to interrupt someone that is dazed ( because the hit interrupts before the skill does ), you can use slot hunter's shot to great effect on a dazed opponent since he will be interrupted before the conditionnal damage is done. --Kyrax 12:24, 25 August 2007 (CDT)
