A legit tactic and one that I used to do often. I solo'd my sebilis key as well as a lot of other outdoor content by bow kiting in zerk. At 50 things really get started.
Silken Whip of Ensnaring
Blood Point
Truncheon of Doom
Eventually I turned it into kind of a joust tactic. With a fungi, blood point, and max bind wound you can really keep your HP exactly where you want it. During the initial engage I would usually use the whip and blood point until its snared. Once the mob is snared I would start kiting with my bow while running in with a trunch hammer to try and get it slowed. While on joust kite I'd be constantly shooting arrows. Once a trunch lands you can basically solo anything blue with blood points, fungi, and a good haste.
Also, I wasn't aware of
Wooly Spider Silk Nets until 60. These things are great fill a 10 slot bag with them. They only cost 29pp to recharge and allow you to root at will. I wish had known this earlier.
