Cheapshot does not give you enough time to get behind a mob and do a stealth attack against a heroic mob. Without the space to work you will likely not stand a chance against any triple arrow mobs. If you try to go toe to toe with a triple up mob you will likely get owned. Even using stun poisons wouldn't be that effective since they will not proc very often once your using mellee attacks (ask assassins if you think Im wrong). The only things that have allowed me to take heroic triple up mobs is our trap(lvl 52) and stream of arrows(55) which allows me to not have to resort to using mellee attacks and thus keep the high proc percentage of using a bow (I don't like to kite fyi).

So as far as taking those named, sorry don't see it happening.

He's right - I probably didn't make my original post clear. Stun's (cheap shot) on anything above a ^ only last about 2 seconds, which isn't enough time to get behind OR take two steps back and fire. Also, I picked the names in Varsoon as they are in curtained rooms - there isn't enough room to mavoeuver even if cheap shot did work. Are there any other classes that can't solo these? Can't think of any.
