Mercenary Archer as a Possibility?

Post by Idhduruil » 30 Dec 2011 22:32

Code: Select all

Greetings,

  I had been trying the Archer and Militia combo.
But cannot use the aggressive specials with a bow. Dang.

Then a brain wave hit me today.  The Mercs!

So I left the Militia and tried to switch to Layman Archer.
I didn't find anyway to do that without leaving and rejoining. :(

So back to scratch title.  Ahh well I can live with that.
Time for some fun.

I joined up with the Mercenary's and was very taken with their
"adaptability" shall we say.

So I plowed all my cash I had into new merc skills. And went off
on my happy way to further raise my abilities with trainers.
So I am now broke but very excited.

Up until this point I didn't have a bow as Quali for once was
untouched.  But by charity of another player I got a bow.
So off to Gont to own sailors like never before, heheh!


I was SSSSOOOOOOOOOOOO disappointed when in the first fight this
is what I encountered!

"Mercenary tactics do not include knowledge of archery!"

But if I unwield the bow I can use the unarmed special attack.
I don't really see why I can't use the bow to whack them.
Or failing that just punch them in between shots.

Could someone let me know if this is an intentional thing or
if it might be possible to improve things.
As the mercs say its about people their being able to try
different approaches.  I really loved the idea up to that point.

Thank you.

  Idh's player.

Would be nice if mercs actually could use mattack with bow.
Would give those who want to travel the rather awkward path of an archer an actually viable choise of guild
The views posted by me on this forum is not the views of the character Amberlee in-game.
If you ask for my opinion here, you will get MY opinion, not that of my character.

last I heard mercs would not be getting a special until bows and combat were reworked. That was quite a while ago though.
