Bows! YEAH. My favorite is bows (if I invested in all of the proper skills)rhibran said:Bows all the way, A good longbow, lots of arrows and high ground makes me a happy camper.
The main reason I go for a ranged character is because of sieges. I hate waiting my turn at the ladder and my fellow archers allways seem to miss the enemy's bowmen. And forget getting close to the action while defending, all that mass of bodies and narrow walls, just go find a high tower and ran down hell. In a open battle I normally stand behind my troops and pick out horses or head shot the riders after they make contact.
But SSS with their heavy crossbows are my favorite ranged type.
