A new bow idea I came up with

[Postal]

Yea yea I know the patch gave 2 new bows but I figured I'd post this bow which I don't have a name for, just pros n cons

General idea: More power/range in exchange for speed (Not sure if range can increase with charge levels)

Thinking about the dark sword with it getting another charge level for each 5 swordsmanship levels I was thinking this could do the same, possibly with more range off each charge. Uncharged shots are weaker than thorn/frost but when scaled up over time out damage them noticeably making it kind of like a sidegrade.

Pros:
+ More damage with higher charge level
+ No specific arrow type allowing it to be switched out for certain situations (unlike frost bow which is inefficient on ice enemies)
+powerful on single targets

Cons:
-High level required for full potential (30 ish?)
-Ammo required to be useful (compared to frost/phoenix bow)
-weak uncharged, slower than other bows
-Groups would be overwhelming (where thornbow/orionbow would work better)

I support this idea. It sounds like a balanced addition to our arsenal of bows.

I have one idea for a bow, as well. For now I'm calling it the dreadwind bow. It's a magical bow powered by wind. Basically, it's a bow that behaves like a crossbow.

There's a wind element in magic now?

In MSC wind is part lighting element, dont ask why.

Hxbow is pretty much faster than normal bows to me it seems :S

I'm talkin' the bow charges up like a dark sword would so it would take approx 5 secs (???) for full damage. Much slower than any other bows (except orion perhaps... but that one can hit multiple enemies in a line)

Cuz, traditionally, Lightning is part of the Air element... But Air just doesn't sound hostile enough, apparently.

does razor sharp wind cutting you into hundreds of thousands of pieces sound hostile enough?

More like leaves in said wind

I choose you, FENIX!

Fenix, use Razor Leaf!

Fenix used Razor Leaf!

It's super effective.
