i like this. some "on a successful ranged attack..." proc. small damage but high or always proc rate. useful and desirable for every ranger, and assuming there are no other items like it planned, unique. but every other class would pitch a fit about only us being able to get something useful out of that item slot.

yeah maybe like a cloak that has a quiver graphic, with some nice ranger effects and clicky arrows or something?

Just my 2cp... but I think a version of eq1 would be nice. Except instead of 2 dual wields they could maybe have a 1 hander and a bow. 1 hander procs a slow on mob (effects even epic mobs, and procs even with ranged attacks) and the bow procs a double attack (perhaps at 10-15% to compliment illusionary arm)

How about this:
Totem of the Archer
Charm Item Slot Item. +30 STR.
Special:
Spirit of the Archer. (Activatable)
Lasts 5 minutes. Recast 30 minutes.
Spirit of the Archer does the following:
Shapechanges Caster (into some cool looking ancient archer person thing)
Increases Ranged Crit Chance by 5%
Decreases Aggro gain by 20%
Summons 1 Archer’s Glory

Archer’s Glory
TEMPORARY (5min) NO-TRADE NO-ZONE NO-VALUE ORNATE WHATEVER
Bow
100-1000 (This is the dmg spread if it were T7 as compared to existing bows, T8 damage spread higher as appropriate)
Effect will trigger 2.0 times / minute:
Inflict 500 magic dmg on target
Increase caster’s health by 300
Increase caster’s power by 100

The idea is that you do get the best bow in the game, but only for limited use, so you STILL need to have a good bow anyhow. So the item doesn't make other bows useless.

a 5 minute bow is worthless

it's a 5 minute bow every 20 minutes (with recast buffage) which would make it useable for most if not all of the big fights in a given zone.

defintely an interesting idea but i wouldnt like it

Kuian · 07-09-2007, 03:55 PM

I'm an old time EQ1 player, so I really like the idea of questing for the Ancient Epic Weapons. Call them the same, Swiftwind and Earthcaller and have their effects similar to what they were back in EQ1.

However I'd like to see something like this in regards to procs:

Swiftwind- 40% Haste with a +30 DPS Proc
Earthcaller- Elemental DD w/a Deaggro

Yes I also played a Ranger in EQ1, and yes I had both my epics and they looked BADASS!

yeah i wouldn't mind the return of swiftwind and earthcaller if they were both really good. The lightning blades were really nice. I think a bow would be probably the best idea. One that is close to epic quality, looks unique, and has a unique effect. Thats just my thoughts though.

Some useful quivers with stats in this expansion would be sweet 2.... I remember the fleeting quiver in eq1 and the nice haste it provided for bow damage... Good times...
