solo monk or ranger with no funds?

Arrows do double damage on stationary, unrooted targets. If you root them you lose half the damage potential from archery.

But with snare they aren't stationary either so aren't you doing the same dmg to them either way or am I not understanding something?

Also, I agree that in classic killing things with arrows takes for.........eeeeeeeeee.....verrrrrrrrr. What I've heard done is just take the mob down to 60 - 70% then meleeing it the rest of the way. Kind of trying to work in livability vs killing mobs before you grow old.

Dald is a druid, disregard. Regardless of what you do, you're only gonna get a solo 2x shot on the pull shot, if the mob is casting a spell, or if you snare a runner. I use archery when my usual DS tanking gets too dangerous to continue. I root, click tolans arms, regen / med, and fire arrows in between ticks. If the mob is too hard to root and there's room to run, snare and arrow kite provides some long term safety to summon more arrows, regen, run across zone to med in peace.

Archery is definitely NOT my preferred method of killing, but it maintains some DoT damage while you recover during a fight that's going badly. It's useful.
