<div>New to game and ranger class, and it just heard in passing that some ranged CAs can be used while in motion (e.g., backpedaling). Is there a simple way to tell which CAs can be used in this fashion? If not, what are the general CA lines that allow for movement? Any input appreciated.</div>

From what I remember, there were arrow attacks that, at low levels, I could not use while moving, but as they got upgraded, I could. A lot of this changed with the combat revamp, which left us with 3 arrow attacks and 2 long-range melee attacks that work on the run.Currently, this applies to the debuff line, Debilitating Arrow (wounding arrow line), Storm of Arrows (level 50 aoe), and Natural Selection (pounce line, requires you to be in stealth), for bow shots, and the 2 DoT lines, which are Lunging Blade and Fatal Reminder at 60 (these aren't at bow range, but can be used while kiting as the range is 10m). You can also use your HO flip debuff lines while running (Snipe and Forester's Noose at 60). Snipe has 25m range and Noose has 15m range.<div></div>
<div></div>Only bow skills that can be used on the move now is the Backshot/Culling of the Herd line, Debilitating Arrow line and Storm of Arrows. All others require you to be planted.

oh yea i forgot about the back shot one. that's sorta useless for soloing though, other than opening, or if you have a fear proc.mostly just helps if you're repositioning, you can spam it and it'll go off instead of interrupting like everything else lol<div></div>

<div></div>Thx much for the clarification. I was reading a guide that was obviously pre-revamp and was getting me confused.

Strangely enough, no ones ever seems to mention that Natural Selection is a mobile ranged CA (as well as stealthed AE). The use of it may be trickier, but it does still have uses.Merkades, 60th Ranger.Siege, Najena.
