'Use Best Weapon' Bows

[Wuffy]

They have all other weapons with a use best weapon attribute, why not bows for the adventuring warrior that wants to plink a paragon once in awhile from a safe distance? Or perhaps if the event ever comes down to staying on the wall of a fort and throwing spells and pelting enemies with arrows?

Just a thought.. *smiles*

Because then every warrior would have one and be as good with it as someone who as actually taken Archery. Use Best weapon skill bows were removed in the early days of AOS on OSI because they made Warriors overpowered. Even the mechanics behind the property was removed/ frozen.

If you want to use Bows or Archery weapons take up Archery, while to some extent they may be termed as Warrior weapons considering how Archery weapons work they are different enough from Standard Melee weapons enough to be by lore excluded from the Use best class (UBW only works for Melee weapons). It is same for Archers, they can not use UBW melee weapons unless they have a melee weapon skill (Wrestling is not included either).

Hmm, never thought of it that way before... *smiles* Thank you for clearing that, wondered why they never had em around!
