Thread: Blow Gun
I can see it now. You've successfully slayed an Ancient Krayt Dragon with a blow gun. LOL. I think it would be kind of cool actually. Good idea.

Hahah that actually sounds cool......Might even be a way to get rangers into PvP...The dart types could have state effects like traps....I would love being able to see the darts sticking out of someone coming after me too
I initially misread your post and wondered how in the hell you got that past the Moderators.
Never mind.
And no, a blow gun is not a good idea. Think bow and arrow, usable by Novice Rangers and you gain different types of arrows in the trapping line, not unlike traps, but with longer range.

quick question guys...if these darts are going to have the same affect as traps....why not just change it so traps work in PvP.
KISS principle applies here. Now a trap launcher that allowed you to fire two traps at once up to 64 meters would seem like a good idea, because you could apply multiple states very quickly.
/agree
Why not have them aply saps to HAM like what CM use.

Besides, they'd only use the artwork from the trazz or fizzz and we'd end up looking plain stupid... Oh, and can melee rangers use it to thwap critters?
Almost, but only just, half tempted to give some support to this as an idea but not as a Ranger tool. C'mon, we kill criters, we've got pretty efficient ways of doing it. Now, giving BE's a blowpipe with which to dart and tranq critters they are sampling...

They could just make something like that little crossbow you always see the Ewoks using. Those things are quite cool.
How bout a blowgun that applies a nasty poison? ALthough the way I would add this to the game would be to make this the same as a trap - a stock of "Blowdarts" that apply a poison to the target. Although instead of showing the "Lob-a-nade" animation it would show you using a dart gun.
Or it could just be a master certed weapon as per the OP that could also apply poison...
Nice Idea.
Why is it that the first thing that comes to mind is Ace Ventura 2? Have whoever you shot limping in slow motion.
