<P>First of all thank you, yes it appears the range is the range of the bow.</P> <P>To clarify what I mean by summoning in the middle of a group.  If there is a room of critters that are not linked in an enounter but standing around and social  and you pick one to hook from that group would you just get that one or would everything around it, even if its not linked, come along?</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

Hook arrow goes from Bow Range.. Shortbow 25m, Longbow 35m, Longerbow (45m bow) 40mIt Rates as a normal Arrow Attack, so if you try to Hook a mob in the middle (But not part of the encounter) a group of mobs, you will agro everything around it just as an attack would.  It does not drag the target, it teleports it.. However as it is rated as an attack, it does cause agro to any nearby mobs to your target when you fire it.Also Hook Arrow seems to have a very very low chance of landing.. tonight I had "Failed to hook" 6 times in a row.  and that's with wasting my Focus Aim and Killing Instinct Buffs to pump my Ranged skill over 500 <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />It's a great skill, especially in pvp, When it works..  Also it does require line of sight, and no you can't jump to shoot it as jumping cancels the loading of the ability (Assuming you meant using it like you could Surveil).<div></div>

<DIV>I forgot to thank you for this information Rain.  It does not seem suitable for raid pulling situations and some of that information was was has decided me to stick to my dps lines.  I appreciate the concise data.</DIV>

<DIV>This does definitely seem to be a more pvp based ability.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Imagine the solo ranger high (well 35 meters) on a cliff when a grp of freeps stroll by.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It's like a  horror movie.. never be the guy at the back.. in this case let's say a gnome coercer.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Yup, that's one dead gnome... </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And if your vantage spot was in a dark nook hopefully they won't get a loc on u.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Unless of course they're smart and they read the compass.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
