<div>Ok my play style is typically the following for group encounters, i use all my bow skills if the mob still isn't dead i run in for rangers blade and a few other melee skills. Typically the mob is dead before i use all my bow skills if we have a decent dps group. The problem I am finding is that im running out of arrows. I have reclaim arrows Master 1 and that only gives me 60 arrows every 10 minutes which is basically 6 arrows a minute. We kill about 1 mob a minute when we are blowing through most of these dungeons so that means i can only use 6 arrows per mob? Ok triple volley there goes 4 arrows (cause auto ranged fire goes off right after) then percise shot there is 3 arrows (again auto ranged attacked adds 1) now i cannot do anything else with bow? Even if you are generous and give me 2 mins per kill thats only 12 arrows, if 3 mobs are in one encounter and i use my AE's... When I enter HoF with a full 22 slots in my quiver of adamantite arrows, and if im not slacking i will come out of there with half a quiver left. Thats with hitting reclaim every time it pops. So in about a 3 hour zone I lose 1100 arrows. So now i have to stand around 180 minutes in order to rebuild that supply of arrows before i can go do another zone?</div><div> </div><div>My point is we either need to reduce the recast timer of reclaim by half or double the amount the arrows it summons. If i slack off on my dps then sure i can keep up just fine, but if im giving everything i can to a group my arrow supply runs dry very quickly. Or hey, how about endless quiver AA?</div>

Quit whining, fanboi.<font size="1">(The above is only funny if you've read this thread: <a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=39&message.id=28135" target="_blank">http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=39&message.id=28135</a>)</font><div></div>Seriously though.. we'll never see endless quiver. It is unbalancing, but it would be nice if we could increase the number of arrows we get. I guess at this time the only solution is to have a little more downtime at the end of the night or start creating a stash of arrows when you have long downtimes and bank it for later.

<div></div><div>Its not unbalancing, atm melee have endless amount of times they can hit with their weapons, why shouldn't we have endless amounts of time we can hit with our main weapon? Have more downtime? lol thats the last thing i want to do is sit around in the game just so that i can summon more arrows and catch up, again do i have to sit around for 3 hours to get my arrows back every time i go into HoF? Does sony really expect us to buy arrows? Perhaps they do, they make us buy the rest of our dps, why not arrows.</div><p>Message Edited by watchout1138 on <span class="date_text">03-24-2006</span><span class="time_text">03:22 PM</span></p>
<div></div><p>LU 22 warrior classes will have to sharpen swords or find a crafter to do it for them and mages/healers will have to buy bottles of power that can be made only from rare harvested items. I guess SoE is just trying to make things hurt all over.</p>
