Cons: Getting poisoned = have to drop bow Stamina drain from maces = have to drop bow or you shoot way too slow Slow rate of fire combined with sloppy dmg output vs any decent armor = enemy can heal/survive between shots No special No runic bows (I use a supreme vanq bow in the field so I don't even know if these would help anyways) Pros: You get a fun mini game of picking up arrows that miss your target I believe some special hits that could be effective are: Armor penetration shot, a shot gets through and ignores armor. This would help vs pretty much everyone, but it would still probably be a 14 dmg shot. Crippling shot, this would lower the targets dexterity by 30% which would slow their healing and weapon swings if they are a fighter.
I just want to point out that Blaise does, in fact, live on these forums. He comments on about every single post, any time of day, 7 days a week. He posts about the game, facts, figures, statistics, etc. So yes, I do believe, that Blaise lives on the forums. In fact, I have yet to see more than 3 threads that didn't have a post from him, before he deleted it. Sad thing is this, while he runs almost 4k posts, he has probably deleted another 2k-3k posts. So he is closer to 7k posts... and that is just sad. Thank you for having no life Blaise and being able to be a know it all and post it all on the forums. How could we ever live without you?
