Improve Short Bows

makarios68 · 11-08-2007, 04:47 PM

I think short bows should be improved in the following 2 ways:

1. A dual shot that actually does twice the damage.

2. A rep shot with 1.5 sec cast time.

The abscence of these two things makes me stay with long bows.

Which is a shame, coz short bow is more fun.

Yes....I love short bows and I use dual-shot just for an extra spell that damages but it would be nice to have something better. The cast time for rep-shot is kinda icky too.

Yeah rep shot is what got me into shorties

Yeah, you have to be careful with Rep-shot - really only effective in fort wars or when someone is on their arse - it's easy to tell when your gonna fire and all you have to do is back up a couple steps and your out of range

ok dualshot could be made a bit more powerful but not twice

rep shot is damn powerful. if you want to half the casting time then the damage should be halfed too

and how about using the suggestion forum for suggestions?

The clue is in the name: dual, as in two.

It is supposed to be 2 shots in 1.

Shield piercing doesn't even reach twice the normal base damage at lvl5, dual short shouldn't be stronger than shield piercing especially since it has a faster cooldown. Next thing you know the longbow users are gonna whine that their bows are underpowered :\

dual shot does do two dmg but its more like the firt one does 117 and the second one does 10 or something like that i know one of them does very little dmg
