Against curates use call of lightning for melee. Or just root them and shoot them from 40%. Inexplicably they won’t try to heal if no one is in their melee range.

Had little luck with call of fire, timed kicks and sarnak warhammer + sarnak lightning caller (2 stun procs). Even if one of the 3 procs the curate will still try to chain CHs until it dies so if you're soloing you basically have to interrupt like 4 in a row. The curate will probably run OOM before that happens. I felt like just nuking between 2hander swings would probably be more effective but I've mostly avoided them since then.

To each their own but with a maximum of 50% a ranger can bind wound to, and with the hps most rangers have, I wouldn’t do much bind wound-bowing. Most self-buffed are hovering in the low to mid 2k range at full health and roughly 1k at half health. While you are binding you are also self-rooted even until interrupted…it doesn’t take many combat rounds to kill a 50% (or less) health ranger. You also need to pack bandages or summon them with a ToFS dagger so that’s bag management for a generally bag-cluttered class.
At max bow range with a rooted and snared target there might be an argument for it. You are still relatively low health and committed to be stationary. Catching an add is often a possibility.

I got curious. Wondered about that for a while but I'm bored at work so:
Standing regen is 4hp and sitting is 7hp. Not a huge gap.
At 200 bind wound you get 50hp back every 10 sec so roughly 25hp per tick. You can make a 5x BW macro.
Fungi and chloroplast add up to about 25hp/tick IIRC so BW basically doubles your regen.
On the other hand you get like 1 mana standing and 20 sitting with maxed meditation. Greater heal is 150mana for 270hp. So about 8 ticks. BW would give you 200 back during that same period, maybe a little more. So sitting and healing is more effective once you get greater healing but pre 57 BW would be better. Caveat being sub 50 it only caps at 100 so you get half that, someone would have to run the numbers with healing for sub 50s.
BW has niche uses though. In a close fight when I'm running low on hp/mana sometimes I use the short root and bandage up to get the mob fleeing then finish them off when root breaks. Lets you heal up to a "safe" amount if you're OOM and also helps with mana conservation if you need it.
I don't have greater healing yet but with BW/fungi/chloro to 50% then top up with heals can usually keep you going for quite a while before you need a real break.
