I have been playing the game for like half a decade but took so many breaks I may as well be a sprout

 Did they fix the weird gaps in leveling in ARR? I distinctly remember a few times where the next MSQ was a higher level than I could do and I had to pause questing to go gently caress around with other xp stuff

Yeah this isn't an old MMO like EverQuest or Ultima Online, kiting mobs is not an effective strategy. Use your abilities and weaponskills and the mobs will fall well before you do.


The ranged part of ranged DPS is when you're in party content like a dungeon and there's a tank to hold mobs still for you.

As long as you don't attack too many at once

 Wait, do people usually solo the duties that progress the MSQ? I've been queuing up to play them normally

your post is a bit ambiguous so forgive me if I'm clarifying something you already understood

people aren't talking about a true solo (which generally requires being at least 20 levels higher than the duty, if not more), but going in with a party of NPCs. This is possible for all mandatory four-player content in the level 1-57 and 71-90 ranges (and they're working on filling in the middle)

I think there's a decent mix of people who prefer to play with NPCs and people who prefer to play with other players

YOU CAN DO THAT????
