I was wondering since i dinged rr5 lately, if anyone have some experince with the RA5 ranger ability? Hence stun for 5sec, but then i cant attack for 15?
So its crap? Or? =)

It a 5s stun that wont be resisted, however it disarms you for 15 seconds as well. I mostly forget to use it really. However if you can fit it in your playstyle, it can be an nice tool to have. You should also expect to do around 270 dmg with it.

In wich situations would you use it? As using it a 1on1 would seem rather foolish if you cant hit for the next 15 sec.. So the only use would be to use it and run away? :) Im not even sure it would work to hit run and try to bow?
Think ill try´n fool around with it on my bb maybe..

On a 1v1 you can use it to run away (sprint, use speed burst to go away and restealth), and/or you can use it when it's a close fight and you think that extra 270 dmg will give you the win.

Only works on enemy players, so you can't test it on your bb

we hunters are so overpowered.. all we have is a snare who doesnt do any damage and really doesnt help alot in 90% of the situations..

One more thing, I started using it after i got FA1 (nice utility ra, 3 min rut). So you hit it, you run a bit, hit, FA, then you're back in the fight even if your IP is down.

Is the stun on the same timer as other style stuns such as DB?

Can't you purge the disarm effect?
Like use RR5 ability to stun, then Purge2 instantly after? At least was able to for the scout version.

About the timer, I don't know, but I have never encounter resist, nor immunity on the other person. You used to be able to purge the disarm effect, I don't know if you still can tho (i know it's been fixed in the states, not sure about the status here, don't use it much anyway).

Actually, if the 15sec disarm effect can be purged it would be very effective.. fancy. you find a solo assasin.. you hit him a bit.. he hit you with debuffs etc.. you fire Desperate Bowman + purge2(debuffs etc goes away) + sidechain + side stun(new stun timer)+ side chain again.. I think this would mean you win :D

That's why they fixed it ;)

You can't purge the dissarm (I don't know if it's live in europe tho, if it's not yet, it will be)

I've seen vids of US rangers (even after the purge fix???)
that pop DB near the end of a fight, then pop a DoT charge to finish the enemy off. I think there's a vid on critshot of a former scout turned ranger demonstrating this a few times against SB's
