Talk:Focused Shot

Assasin's Promise note seems kinda obvious and not really useful IMO. -- 211.30.57.114 19:17, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
 * This is probably the most spamable bow attack in the game.--Coloneh [[Image:Coloneh.png]] 00:17, 28 October 2006 (CDT)
 * Yeah, i always used this in conjuction with RTW and Frenzy.. Very consistent. Mcmullen 12:36, 18 November 2006 (CST)
 * I think that Called Shot is actually the best ranger non-elite bow attack to spam, the best part is that it almost never misses (unless you're blinded). Also, Needling Shot can be spammed like Flare on targets below 50% health ;) --Curse You 19:55, 5 December 2006 (CST)
 * This is less spammable than Barrage, Quickshot, or Poison Arrow, and barely more spammable than Called Shot and Penetrating Attack. --Carmine 02:33, 12 December 2006 (CST)
 * those are elite.--Coloneh RIP[[Image:Coloneh.png]] 12:17, 1 January 2007 (CST)
 * If you wanted to exclude those you should have said "most spammable non-elite bow attack in the game". VegaObscura 15:24, 1 February 2007 (CST)

I might consider using this if it dealt out more damage than Power Shot. As it is, I hate not being able to follow this up with Savage Shot or such. This probably best used on a buffs-heavy archer, with Judge's Insight, a Sundering Hornbow, and such. There, you have a slow refire rate so the disable doesn't matter so much...

Onslaught, anyone? Shhhh, my idea!Dark0805 20:40, 12 April 2007 (CDT)

Nah, Expert's Dexterity. -210.3.39.32 22:16, 14 May 2007 (CDT)

No, Expert's Dexterity is too costly, you have to invest tons into expertise to make it viable, and even still it isn't spammable, and even with a 33% IAS, Focused Shot still is recharged long before you are ready to fire again. With Onslaught, you don't need a whole lot in Wind Prayers, and only need 8 in expertise to make it cost only 2 energy (compared to Expert's Dexterity's cost of 4 energy, at the expense of having to use a headpiece and sup rune of expertise, and tying up your only preparation). With a 25% IAS in conjunction with Onslaught, Focused Shot is almost ready by the time you fire. The only downside I had to the Onslaught build in comparison to the Expert's Dexterity build, was that Onslaught can be stripped, and can't be maintained by a ranger primary. Overall, though, Onslaught was much more efficient, and it provided a solid constant DPS (Slightly more than the VoS archer, but with the disadvantage of needing to watch energy and diversion), whereas expert's sapped too much energy. -- Lord Carnage
