Bows are great for targets of opportunity! I use bow sometimes when I'm soloing xp mobs too. When I need to root and back out to heal, you can weave bow shots during GCD between heals. The extra dmg adds up.

Mino Hero at lvl 25 Ghoul Boss at lvl 29 Quillmane at lvl 31- Also legs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Don't think I got anything great besides those.

I've found bow kiting + root/rot to be viable in both Classic and Kunark.
At 35 I parked in SolB at the easy SolA zoneline and would bow kite + root/rot the pathing kobold for basically free xp til 45. Runed Oak Bow + storebought arrows, typical gear for mid 30s. 54-56 I did this for golems in COM. Raincaller + Summoned: Arrows At 59 I killed Nyzil Bloodforge the same way for the last 50% of the level. Raincaller + Summoned: Arrows Sure, it takes longer, but it also allows for freedom of playstyle and, when groups invariably dont invite you because they want to min max 110% of the time, it provides a reasonable way to stay productive (P.S. i hate those people, this is Everquest) | ||

I did this too at lvl 17 for my Zweihander from Karg and cloak from Matar! Also got my Peggy cloak around 28 I believe and 2 more for my friends. Orc impaler too soloing that shadowman and ghoul boss. I gotta say those single targets are where bow kiting shines and definitely makes you feel accomplished. Died miserably against Coloth though, do not recommend because he bow kites better than a 30 ranger haha Extra thanks to Lartanin as everything I've read from him seems spot on. | |||

Thanks everyone for sharing their knowledge and experience - this has been very insightful and useful, and I think I will (eventually) try a ranger next once my wizard starts to get a bit more dull.

You might want to check out the 2016 thread "Archery uses STR instead of DEX!!!!" by Ivory.
Also, I'd like to point out that I found that thread by searching "archery strength." This message is brought to you by the search feature. The search feature: try it sometime. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
