Archery is used for pulling only till you gain enough AAs for endless quiver.
I gotta disagree a little with you here, Jennok. I have been playing my Ranger since 99, I have been using archery since level one. I'm not even past 60 with my ranger, and in fact only got enough AA's for endless quiver last week! At 46 I got my hands on a Tolans Darkwood Bracer, and never looked back. Fear kiting in DSP, Eastern Wastes etc, would not have been possible without root-n-shoot. In more recent experiences in LDoN groups, I have found that someone accidentally pulling say a 2-4 mob pull into a room, activating trueshot when the tank goes down and keeping mobs rooted I hit for 150 - 700 per shot (with haste, a fleeting quiver and having my dex maxed as I do) I deal out some pretty decent damage. even without my trueshot disc, if i need to keep a mob at bay and beat it down, I can do a pretty decent job at it. Dont call archery useless til you get endless quiver. I have saved many a bad pull or loss of our MT too many times in PoV plugging away at baddies to treat archery as trivial. Anyhow my 2 cents. Perhaps your experience is slightly different!
Have fun. it's only a game until you lose an eye!
