Wanna know a secret? Target the closest creature, close in to 64 meters, then target the farthest one, one that is beyond 64 meters, fire your weapon, you will not hit it because you will be out of it's range, the closest creature will then come single to you. Draw the creature away and dispose of it. I do this everyday and i never use pets for social creatures. It is very possible to get a single creature on a pull if you are methodical and patient using this technique.
One star your own ignorant self for not knowing how to play your profession. I use every trap and ability i have and i do not use another profession like CH as a substitute for what i already have. I was soloing CL 37 creatures a a novice ranger/novice pistoleer/ranged support specialist. I am now a Master Ranger, 2 Boxes from Master Pistoleer and still have my ranged support specialist skills. Using all of my skills i can easily defeat high level creatures and i rarely ever die or get incapped.
I said it once and i'll say it a thousand times, Ranger wasn't designed to be mixed with a melee profession. I know just about every melee around uses pets, not my problem and it's not a ranger proble it's a melee problem because they are so dependant on pets.
Yes, yes I know all about this tactic. Back when I was just barely into my Pistoleer skill tree I needed to kill a Fambaa by myself (pre-pet and I had to do it as part of the Emperor's Retreat Theme Park mission). I did get incapped but I successfully killed it using traps and kiting. I know it is possible to do it without a pet.
But when the purpose of your hunting is resource gathering, you don't really want a lot of downtime if you can avoid it. The pet helps in that regard.
