I recall seing a build about soloing the ice gimps up in mineral springs w/ a ranger.. I think the build was based around poison arrow. I searched for ~20 min and came out empty handed. Can anyone help me find this post?

1 advice: use a fiery bow, when i use a normal 15^50 flatbow, my dmg is around 40dmg(normal arrow)
with my fiery bow, its around 60dmg, so it really helps

Are there any tricks to keeping the Imps out of Maelstrom range?

Seems like even with a flat/longbow they continually get closer to me and start casting Maelstrom.

takes some practice... but what i used to do was pull and then walk back a lil'... then all they'll do is wand you while your still able to attack them with your Long/Flat bow

you must be on even ground lvl with them or they will get in spell range

barrage works 'faster'?

barrage + firey long/flatbow, sounds like it would do the trick.. i'd have to tinker with the attribute distribution though. thanks for the idea; i hadn't really considered it.

edit // i only happen to have a icy and shocking bowstring on hand. would these have similiar dmg output as a fiery bow string?
