Yeah, why a bow? if you want a ranged weapon, there are several available.

Even though I think Legolas is hot in Lotr I am NOT using a bow. Do you see Jackie Chan running around with a bow?

A Bow in pvp?? No way, I think this is aVERY bad idea. This is star wars bud. I dont have a problem with ranged in pvp as a TKA. Maybe people who are having problems need to rethink their template.

I like the idea of ninja star type weapons better.

No thanks. My 57 levels of gimpy rangerness are behind me now after EQ went back in the box. I never want to see a bow or an arrow again!

The reason I began this thought was maybe people arent being ranged classes due to the fact they dont want to use high tech stuff. While i think shurikens would be ok. A bow would be a good much more diverse and this wouldnt really be something you gained with TKA but could be a profession you would pick up as a secondary. Also I wasnt thinking they should be up to snuff with pistoleers and such. But maybe if they give us our needed defense skills we would stand a chance in pvp with a decent bow and set of arrows equiped. Also I was thinking that the max range on best bow would be 35m with ideal of 10-20 depending on bow. most like stat mods would be -10/+25/0.

I was just trying to think of one way our class may get something or a secondary profession that would be easy to obtain. Also this would make some of you get master brawler and that would add to your defense/toughness/dmg/speed/accuracy by a nice lil bit.

This issue covers the other melee professions aswell. And I dont see the point in haveing a ranged weapon (bow) when infact that's not how any of the melee professions should be ballanced. If I wanted a ranged weapon I would pick up a gun that would do good dmg and fast. It would stay true to the Starwars Universe aswell. TK arent some medival samurai order. It's force users meant to keep Jedis in check. Bows just dont fit in anywhere. Neither does throwing stars or throwing knifes.
