bolas-new much needed range wep

[mageoftheage2]

so ok im a warrior/mage but this idea came to me&I hope you will help make this an even more spectacular suggestion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fletchers can carve "bola" balls(3 per log)3 required to make)normal to magic)including teak&mahogany)& connect them with rope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

can also make metal bolas using cannon balls(this means bronze to rune cannon balls)but you need to connect with 2 ropes due to extra mass.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

can also make [bleep]ed bolas(wood only)with nails.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

by their very nature these will bind for 5 secs(wood),10 secs (metal)'cause they heavy)&15 secs([bleep]ed)'cause they stick in)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

same stats as knives

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

& in case any1 cant guess this is members only.

[Redizhot]

interesting idea, but seems overpowered. 3 per log means that they could be easy to get and amass, whereas smoething like bind costs 2 nature runes, which isn't cheap.

[Suzanne_Vega]

Metal bolas would be impossible to use, they would have to be made from various woods.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Crafting would be much more appropriate a skill for making the weights, not all ranged weapons are made using fletching (knives are smithed).

it would be the archers version of bind! In australia people used bolas to wind around ostridge legs so they could finish them off later.From what i remember bolas were made out of lead and wood and rangers having a way to bind would be great but might throw the pking triangle off balance.....

We don't have ostriches in Australia, and Aborigines sure as hell didn't use bolas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bascially, what the OP is suggesting (I hope) is that out of one log, you can make one set of bloas, since they are usually made of two or three wooden or lead spheres, connected by light rope.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for balance, reduce the bind length to 3 seconds. 5 is too much.

it could be just an extra thing for archers to be used like bind or snare

 

 

 

cant cause any damage

 

 

 

it seems fair since rangers are the only class dat cant hold peple

 

 

 

mages have bind snare etc

 

 

 

melee have d spear's special which stuns players for 3 secs

i was using ostriges as an example as how rangers could use them to "bind"
