Talk:Disrupting Throw

I was using Anthem of Flame + Disrupting Throw; the burning condition was applied in time to interrupt from that same attack.
 * Ah right, I came to the page to check that. I was thinking Disrupting Throw & Crippling Anthem. Neon 12:32, 2 December 2006 (CST)

Where can I get this skill (Besides gate of torment(? It doesn't say on the page.

This skill is very mediocre, it should have some damage boost or something, especialy seeing as it's conditional.

Attribute?
what exactly binds this skill to spear mastery? - Y0_ich_halt  contribs 14:12, 1 April 2007 (CDT)
 * It requires a spear to use it I guess. Anet must hate Paragons that actually try to use their spear, even Distracting Blow does an unconditional (and AoE) int with same cost/activation/recharge, though DB does no damage.  GW:NF, the "not sure what other skills to create so all skills have weird conditional combos" game update.  Queen Schmuck 16:17, 3 April 2007 (CDT)
 * yea, i wonder what's up next... they get into mixing the "main professions" more and more... (ele = heavy dmg+no armor; warrior = heavy armor+less dmg; monk = healer are those i think) - Y0_ich_halt [[Image:Y0_ich_halt_logo.jpg|15px]] contribs 07:43, 4 April 2007 (CDT)

ANET: improvements
this needs to be given a disble feature, like disrupting chop and distracting shot, or better, a shorter recharge, such as 4 seconds. Not too fussed bout damage, but any bonus in that field wouldn't be bad, but in all fairness, a 4 second recharge is all this really needs, and noticced thats a need not a want.  ~ Soqed Hozi ~  16:28, 3 May 2007 (CDT)


 * please note: there is not an interupt worse than this, every other interupt hassoething that outperforms this, be it damage (savage shot/slash, power spike, maelstrom), disables skills (distracting shot, disrupting chop, wail of doom), has a better recharge (power return, distracting shot), causes a condition (skull crack, inceditory arrows), interupt aoe (choking gas, distracting blow, maelstrom), is good for multiple interupts (chking gas, warmongers weapon) or gains energy for the user (power drain, leech signet). This skill is not only conditional, but has too long a recharge to be effective and has no bonus anything. The only other way a player can interupt with a spear is to use the elite stunning strike, ad use the dazed affect for interupting. However, that skill is elite and also conditional. Furthermore, try using this skill effectivly on non-fleshy foes, its a pain, but its not the conditional part of this skill thats the problem.

This skill needs:


 * A 4 second recharge
 * Or disables that skill for additional 20 seconds
 * Or has an 8 second recharge and a bonus +dmg
 * Or no conditional factor, and an 8 second recharge

these listed in order of preference.  ~ Soqed Hozi ~  11:30, 8 May 2007 (CDT)


 * Guild Wars would be a very boring game if every martial weapon was on par with each other in all possible aspects. From what you write, spears don't get very good interrupts, so then if thats what it is, then that's what happens. Spears deal a ridiculous amount of damage in a single strike for a ranged weapon which makes it good for spiking. But even so, the DPS is still very good. And its linked to the paragons and their are useful for their own right. But talking about the differing strengths of professions in another story. In short, spears were not meant to interrupt.

You may argue, that every other non caster profession interrupts better than this, and that might be true. Rangers may have great interrupts, and same with some warrior skills, but rangers do less damage than spears and neither provides support like the paragon can. M s4 16:25, 8 May 2007 (CDT)
