And ANY class solo is going to be a close range encounter in most cases. You're the only one with hate, and most mobs are melee types. That's common sense.

Shadowbind and Close Shot are very effective in a combo when you first get them. Sure, Bind doesn't always stick, but it has a very respectable proc rate.
Closing your skill bar and running back is completely redundant. Its a horrible tactic. When you close your skill bar you cant set up for the next attack unless you macro it (assuming game pad, and further keyboard keys). I've thought this through, and really even if most mobs are close range, you should be able to make them back off. Ranged/Magic characters are not meant to take large amounts of close ranged damage. Hell, in giving a fear spell it willhelp to make the game solo friendly.

Also, we dont know yet if were going to be getting a toggle feature, maybe the devs should "look into it"
