AA-Mantis Star doesn't work with certain ranged weapons

[The_Goose]

<div></div>There seems to be a bug with the AA-ca Mantis Star for brawlers (sta-line), when using certain ranged weapons. I've done some testing after my pristine tailored scaled leather satchel made Mantis Star go dud ("You must equip a throwing weapon to use this ablility"). Unfortunently I sold the augmented one that the scaled was supposed to replace :/ If you examine the satchel, it only states that it is "Ranged". I've bought some non-rare ranged weapons on the broker and experienced the same thing with them that only stated "Ranged". Then I bought a pristine tailored stonehide leather bandolier, that said "Thrown Weapon Ranged" upon examination. That one worked as a charm. I've bugged this, since it must be a bug ?!? Please SOE, make a fix of this asap!!!<p>Message Edited by The_Goose on <span class=date_text>06-21-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:49 AM</span>

Dosnt Mantis Star specificly state "If throwing wepon is equiped" or even as far as Shuriken?  I'll have to log in and look.

Yes, it says that it only works with throwing weapon (not particulary shurikens). But it works with the non stat kind that you can buy from the guy selling the ammo in east freeport, just not some of the player crafter ones. So it's obvious that it's a recipe bug. I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only one experiencing this since no one else have mentioned it ?!?

<FONT face=Garamond size=4>I've not had a problem with this AA working with any ammo ranging from tin through T7 player-made. </FONT>

<P>Same no issues with any pouch or ammo so far, tin to player crafted t7. </P> <P>Have you recently respecced AA lines, and perhaps left the hotkey on your hotbar?</P>

<div></div>To clearify what I mean, look at the linked pictures below. Here is the scaled satchel that I first encountered this problem with (I've marked the interesting parts)<a href="http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/39ef5cd774.jpg" target=_blank>http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/39ef5cd774.jpg</a> Here is a playercrafter ranged weapon that does work (I've marked the interesting parts)<a href="http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/4d6c2e88a9.jpg" target=_blank>http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/4d6c2e88a9.jpg</a> Here I have playercrafted on top, with the nonstat versions below. All work but the playercrafted satchel (see that it lacks the description "Thrown Weapon").<a href="http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/53db7deaee.jpg" target=_blank>http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/53db7deaee.jpg</a> Edit: Hmm, made them clicky for your convenience <span>:smileywink:</span><p>Message Edited by The_Goose on <span class=date_text>06-22-2006</span> <span class=time_text>12:28 AM</span>
