I currently hunt with a sorc/wizard team looking to make this more group friendly any suggestions?

Open ranged is great with a ranger and two pures. You cam skin and loot with little worry about encumberance.

What problems are you having?

[Taernath]

You'll be fine, especially if you're hunting in a group. Your buddies should be able to provide most defensive spells, and you're about as group friendly as a non-ambusher is likely to get.

Here's Aurach's guide by the way, I don't know how up to date it is:

was just worried about being caught in offensive in swarms was all. low DS with TWC vs my previous class which was a paladin.

[cwolff]

Those three should handle swarms pretty easily. You're using big shot or alt tabbing?

I've never found much use for cmans on a Ranger at this level. Certainly not disarm or combat movement. You could recover points there to boost dodge and pf.

[Necrodeus]

I alt tab right now.
