So in craglorn I see this ability hit me for 3k+ constantly. Seems like every archer in craglorn uses it. I know it has a windup and I should be able to predict it, but I'm soloing most of the time and dealing with 6+ mobs at once. And yeah.. I know I shouldn't be soloing, but im pretty successful at it.

It's just.. I feel like it's silly and not immersive that while soloing or in a group the primary focus is

"OH $@#$@ it's a trash mob archer kill it first!"

    oh gee wiz I never thought of that. To think I made it to veteran rank 14 without knowing I could interrupt!

    Seriously though, when you are getting immobilized and and snared by 6 other mobs you rarely get to the archer in time.

    Really they need to remove or reduce the passive mob snare from the game, or at least make it something I can block, interrupt or roll out of. making trash mobs basic attacks passively snare people is the wrong & lazy way to stop sprinting through dungeons & content.

    It can be frustrating, especially when there are three archers in the group of mobs, but the only way is to save your stamina for interrupts.

    And don't forget that, although it can be solo'd in part, the Crag is intended for groups.

    As you know you shouldn't have been soloing in Craglorn.

    Hahahahaha!!! What is this? "Wah!!! I'm having issues soloing content designed for groups"??? Are you going to start a forum cause you can't solo SO after this?

    Every group trash pull in every mmo ever has the same strategy. Kill healer-ranged dps-Melee dps-tankiest mob. I wish the mods would get on here and clear out some of these BS forums... I've got nothing against you, it's just too many people complain about things that don't need attention. Archer mobs not only light up, they even f**king yell "taking aim". If you're getting killed by it when soloing, good, maybe you should get some friends... If some one in you group gets killed by it it's the dps' fault. It's like a 10 second windup
