Question for Rangers and the Firiona Vie zone.

Run down the zoneline past the drolvarg fort until you see the 3 spawn of giants. Wait there, he will come by.

I mean, I used to fear kite on my alt rogue in the middle of the field there. Did wonders for my awareness.

What techniques do you use to maximise your situational awareness? From your stories I basically run on the assumption you are super human. Do you cycle view modes? are there key binds to switch between specific view modes? Do you have any videos of you fear kiting in OT, FV, etc?

I did some work on my ranger in WW and was finding it tricky to be aware of even huge things like ice burrowers around me.

I found Kwinn by the giant camp in the NE corner. I think he spawns right around there.

Yes, when working on my shackle quests I stopped by the giant camp to try soloing them for exp (they are much harder than the Frontier Mountains giants). Kwinn walked right up to the far left hut and I got an easy kill. Same with my buddy.

This was probably back in 2014. I picked a spot that only got occassional roamers and pulled to there. Just lots of camera panning and keeping my current target a good distance from any mobs I saw inc. Circling around in 3rd person is easy enough outside. As far as Western Wastes, it's a nightmare if you're KoS. I've never survived hunting ice burrowers with my druid KoS to dragons. Ice burrowers, on the other hand, are pretty easy to avoid. Huge / slow. Just keep a respectful distance and be paranoid.

They do have a fairly large aggro range though - too large to be able to land harmo, but you'll see them coming from a mile away. But yeah, I did all of 58-59 on my ranger just fear kiting mammoths and brontos, it's really easy.

Brontos are slow as hell at 54/55 :s... I think I'll just stick to groups where I get to have fun lining up pulls! Maybe shoulda rolled a monk :P.

Not sure if they wander in the northern part of the zone, but many pilgrims and pirates see through invisibility. That zone is like Frogger.

And yes, up around the giant fort you will find your mark.
