Good AI is something I have never really seen in an MMO, as for fish comming out of the water, sure there are collision issues, but it prevents players from sitting there with there bow/spells and just farming the hell out of em for EXP, it may look ugly but it makes sense, however, I have gone against solo caster mobs, been rooted, and nukes to all living hell... and dont fret, at later lvls, our bow arts require us no longer to be stationary, since we are, in theory, getting alot better with our bows, the reuse times on our bow abilities though are a little obsense, and the cast time of some abilities, like flaming shot, dont make them worth while to use, would be nice however to see some heroic opp bow abilities... It sounds like you are looking for a more solo class, but rangers can solo somewhat nicely, even with our agility being shot to [FAAR-NERFED!]... if you hit them out with your bow abilities later lvls, since you no longer need to be stationary, considering, with impede, etc, you can actually kite pretty well... With my pathfinding, foresters insight, and then impede, I run circles around mobs. Impede though, is not so much for bow kiting, but it seems, to me at least a fast way to get out of trouble... example : Opps, just aggroed that mean looking nightblood, impede to engage, and slow, yell, and just run away, no sprint required, since your moving, like it seems to me, at at least double the mobs move speed.
