weapon request (in General)

Yes, it is selfish because it would be quite useful for me and I can't imagine I am the first to request this: Mageseeker Crossbow.

I would love it and treat it very nice and never forget its birthday.

just use the Mageseeker

What the last guy said.

wouldn't that require archery?

yeah

then there's the rub. Im a UC.

can't be good at everything...

there is the AXbow... not likely to do much, but with all the evasion around the mages might be the ones with the most dex (assuming you can hit them)

Then make it drain 1/33% of the target's DD per x per hit.

yeah, Nov, I came to this request b/c my axbow was missing quite a few of the mages down here on my lvl. I've been gone a while so after the initial happiness of realizing I no longer needed to pay for ammo, I remembered there used to be ammo that went looking for mages. I may be wrong but I thought some of that ammo worked for xbows too.

As far as not being able to be good at everything, I must disagree. Mages are good at never missing, as well as being good at always hitting.

except they're not good at doing more damage then tanks

You don't *have* to use Archery with a Mageseeker.

You just won't be able to hit as much with it.

You'd still hit Evasion-less and DB-less mages with it, though.

I'll be obkaybe with a dd draining xbow the day I can get a 100%+ bonus to my DD (without extra vulnerability to AMF) and hit multiple times a round...

that being said, I do think the current implementation of specialty bows is a bit silly.

A sling that hits random targets! I would love that.

Haha, if you implemented this, you'd have to train a DD, because the Amount of DD drained would be based on yours, and the x of your weapon.
So you'd probably not get enough drain anyways.

Except axbows don't rely on DX to drain. Nor do exbows rely on ST. All you need is 1 damage.
