Newbie Question

<div>Hiyas,</div><div> </div><div>Can Rangers use their combat abilities on the run, or do you have to stop?</div><div>Ranged auto-fire seems to work while running and I am just curious.</div><div> </div><div>Thanks!</div>

<div>You can use any melee combat art on the run.  Ranged combat arts that can be used while moving is the backshot->Culling line that requires you to be behind the mob, Storm of arrows, the AE skill which has a 3 minute recast and Natural Select-> Selection line which requires you to be in stealth and is an out of group ae.  Outside of those 3, make like a tree, root yourself then fire them.</div>

<div></div><div></div>The vast majority cannot be used on the move.  The only one I can think of off the top of my head that can be is the line that requires you to be behind the target and snares.<div></div><p>Edit: Too slow I guess. <span>:smileyhappy:</span></p><p>Message Edited by D3CLINE on <span class="date_text">02-27-2006</span><span class="time_text">08:35 AM</span></p><p>Message Edited by D3CLINE on <span class="date_text">02-27-2006</span><span class="time_text">08:37 AM</span></p>

<div></div><p>Since the last update, we can no longer use any bow CA's 'on the run'.  We need to Stealth, fire off a high damage combo, run back, Ensnare, run back a bit more, and fire off a 'fast bow CA (like Flaming Arrow).</p><p>Then comes melee.</p><p>We melee as best we can, until 'Cheap Shot' is up, run behind (if it is not an <strong>^</strong> arrow mob) , and fire off another bow CA etc.</p><p>It takes finesse, practice, and just the 'right' combination of mobs and room.</p><p>Difficult, but not impossible, but VERY slow.</p>

We have no bow CAs that can be used on the run since the last update?  Did this just happen this morning?<div></div>

<div></div>Not sure where Mary got the absolute, we can use some, but not many - see Demlar's post. The Culling line, Natural Selection line, and Storm of Arrows are the only ones now useable while moving.

<div></div><p>Wow.</p><p>Thanks a ton for the quick replies.</p><p>I am playing on Nagafen as a Swashbuckler right now, and I am getting really tired of the "you are too far away" message, even though I am right on top of my target.</p><p>Happy hunting!</p>

[Mary the Prophetess]

<div></div>You're right, I stand corrected. Though at lower levels you do not have Culling the Herd, or Storm of Arrows. 

[D3CLI]

Actually, one of the first bow CAs you get is from the same line as Culling the Herd.  So while you may not have that, you do have one that works while moving before you hit level 20.  I wasn't aware that you could use the natural selection line while moving too, but that's great news.  The first of that line comes in the low 20s I believe.  On a side note, the backshot/culling line is great in pvp for when people are trying to run away from you.  <span>:smileywink:</span><div></div>
