Nice... But wasn't it 20 sec recast to start? I don't remember, so wondering, I think it was?I see no behind only attacks on the ranger list... I feel like a rogue during duel's and when I use crippling strike when I think back on the good old days when itwas any dirrection skill, great skill for dueling. Now you'll be extremely lucky if you land it on a duel (you'd be surpised standing behind someone and get the "must be behind target" message lol.... )</span><div></div><p>Message Edited by Tealdeath on <span class="date_text">02-06-2006</span><span class="time_text">09:41 PM</span></p>

Gorestrike also has a requirement to face the target, unlike Punch Blade for instance<div></div>

<div></div>Question:  do rangers have an ability to invis from range while in combat?

[Cael]

<div></div><p>Yeah, Stealth, our lvl 14 predator spell....I dont know what its called now or when its given to new rangers</p><p>We also have Improved surveil, which you cant be at max range to use, but you can be almost there, and it drops some aggro and puts us in stealth and has I believe a 3 min recast on it. This is also given to us but is a line really early in our lives. I tihnk its called evade at its early stages, but dont recall.</p>

<div></div>You can use the slow cast <font color="#666666"><strike>'Sneak'</strike></font>'Stealth' as well as the 'Stalk' line (of which Surveil and Improved Surveil are part) at range, can't think of any others off the top of my head.Edit: there I go showing my age, it is now 'Stealth' instead of 'Sneak'.<div></div><p>Message Edited by deaks on <span class="date_text">02-08-2006</span><span class="time_text">12:32 AM</span></p>

I don't really consider ranged a positional attack since it doesn't require much movement.  I never have any difficulty getting into a position to use my ranged attack, but in big fights with lots of mobs it can take me a couple seconds to get in position to back attack whenever the tank switches targets.  In fact, I often use assailing blast or contrived weapon to get in an attack while I sort out where the target is and move to a position so I can backstab again. Nice list though.<div></div>
