> Hi there!

> Are there any high level Rangers on this list that could tell me a little
about Archery please? I created a Woodelf Ranger yesterday and planned to
focus on this skill, but a friend has just told me that Archery is broken
and serves no purpose but to pull albeit from great distances. I was hoping
that a well developed archer, along with snare could do most damage to mobs
before its arrival. If this not true I find it staggering. Its fine for
casters to snare, DD and DoT - ie fighting from a distance, but not
bow-wielders?
