Solo.... That is more or less all I know. I will group for the never to be cursed enough writs, and the epic^^^x2 mob for the hq. But that sums it up.

I have found a good set of poisons and debuffers are the best friend of a ranger.

At 59 I am stuck with some lower end materials still. My alchy is finally getting into the 50s. A good Poison DoT. And a wonderous bit of fluid. Turgon I think it is called. 16% combat slow for 1 min 24 sec. Add on FBSS, the combat AA, and the wonderful Bravo's Dance, 116% Combat speed boost. Meat grinder time.

I use my bow at every turn. If I can fall back and unload Triple shot or some such all the better. Love Cheapshot for slipping around and putting a few well placed daggers in the baddies back.

Thorny trap can still be fun. Drop trap, fall back to max range. Storm of Arrows. Many times the slow hits all of them at once. They hit the trap....BAM! Hit first target till it drops. Then retarget and shot till root drops. By then the entire group will be messed up.

My prefered hunting is in the wide open spaces of course. Am I rambling.... Yes. Just a 59 Ranger that has fun.
