Bows

[Ardan]

First, David, I've got to say I love the game. Tons of fun, and thanks for all of the hard work. Can't wait to see what the new content looks like.

I wanted to ask, though, if there are any plans to add any more ranged weapons to the game. I've cleared all of the content with the Vulcan bow or oaken (flame dragon) while hiding behind my tank specced Gris, but it would be great to have some more options when fighting mobs with flame resists.

Have to throw in a wish for periodic respawns on dragons. Dropped flame last night and was completely underwhelmed with the lightning resist leggings. Minor utility indeed given that my first goal as ranged DPS is not getting hit or shocked in the first place.

I definitely don't want to sound too negative. Like I said, I think it's a great game. Just wanted to share a few reactions, though.

Ranged attacks are a relatively new addition, and thus the bow selection is not as flushed out as other weapon classes. More will definitely follow. 4 bows simply isn't enough.

Until you gain more weapon options, the new advanced skills available through the thieves guild are quite formidable.

Yeah, currently have both the new bow skills maxed out. 60.2 DPS with the vulcan when I pop rapid fire with 7 agi and 3 pts in awareness. No complaints about the damage output at all. Just a matter of flavor.
