Not sure if it'll help you but at 24 my normal method of soloing is as follows. Back shot, Wounding arrow,  start backpeddling (make [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] sure no aggro mobs are behind you) as opening shot goes through its warmup.  Once opening shot hits stop moving. Impale (Debuffs mobs resistance to piercing damage) Macro (Solo Ho)     /useability Lucky Break (Triggers HO wheel)     /useability Corner (upgrade to Cheap shot)     /useability Pierce  (some people dont use this in the event Swindlers luck pops up and they want to flip their Ho using Evade, I dont bother since it didn't affect my dps that much but did screw me up on my timeing on what ability to do next)  If the HO wheel doesn't complete you can take a second chance with Quick Strike. Macro (Stealth Strike)     /useability Cheap Shot  (Stuns mob)     /autoattack 0     /useability Stalk (Stealths you) Shadoflame (Any position stealthed strike) Bleed (Dot) Rinse and repeat the first half usualy twice before the Stealth Stike is up (this tends to come up right before bleed is available.  Make sure you do bleed AFTER the Stealth Strike because any dot will remove the stun from Cheap Shot on the mob and you wont get off the attack. At 24 Solo mobs up to an orange I have a reasonable chance of winning against, some blue ++ mobs I can take but I tend to take a break mid fight backup and hit them with another Opening Shot for the extra damage. Happy hunting. Draghixia Bladesong, Unrest

Uhm this was supposed to be a reply to a post someone had about tactics.

I do pretty much the same, but rather than hit Impale, I start with the bleed to get my DOT going.  I used to not use impale early because I was using slashing, but now that I have switched to dual wield pierce I started using it earlier.

Just remember your stun will be broken by the bleed dot effect.  That is why I do my Stealthed Strike before I trigger bleed. <div></div>
