Howdy friends.

<p>Greetings everyone,</p><p>I've been on a break from the game for a few months and prior to that I found myself playing less and less.</p><p>Well my main was a 80 Guardian with my secondary as a 76 Troubador.  I've had a Ranger since the beginning of the game and have always enjoyed playing them.  Currently my ranger is in the mid to high 40's.</p><p>Well I'll be coming back to the game and my current plan is to shelf the Guardian and Troubador to make my Ranger my main.</p><p>I've read a number of threads here and will be pestering everyone for advice.  I can be a bit hard headed, so please be patient with me.  <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Odds are I'll be solo'ing for a while and then shift into raiding with my guild. </p><p>Most of my equipment is master crafted and my melee weapons are fabled.  I need to upgrade my bow, from what I understand I should be working towards getting the Raincaller bow as it is a good bow and needed for the epic.</p><p>First question.  When solo'ing, isn't it impossible to use ranged auto attack when the mob gets to you?  Should I wait to change my CA macros to autoattack 2?</p><p>Thanks to everyone in advance.</p>

Dead mob.</p>
