Ranged weapons

likewise, bows, guns and xbows need magazines to use them.

The magazines to use them should be crafted by different types of professions depending on weapon type, should be BoE and bought and sold on AH.

Classic forums are on the other side of the road

More specs need to use ranged weapons.

As of now, all the ranged weapons are used by one class only Hunter. Meanwhile Warrior, Rogue, DH, and DK (Dark Ranger) are all fitting candidates to use ranged weapons.

Huh?
Let them be as they are now. Mdps are perfectly content without range weapons

Not talking about replacing specs.

Just adding. Which we can see is possible with Druid.

Don’t think he knows about ammo pouches, Pip.

So that warrior’s difficult rotation would become even more difficult? :thinking:
Charge - bow shot - release?

My idea is not the same ammo pouches, the new magazines for modern retail. And Professions will become more and more important this way.

I totally agree. I’ve said for years that Warriors should get a ranged spec.

How about no? Gearing characters is hard, costly and slow enough as it is. Ammo is where it rightfully belong: a long forgotten relic of the past who nobody misses.

Besides, the current crafting already includes that, with some consumables crafted with engineering and which add damage.

Thing is it’s just a hunter tax. Which is funny, but unfair :smile_cat:

There’s no harm in adding a little realism to things, right? :smiling_face: No stop phew phew phew around and where come those bullets? From retail magazines.

Had this game been a war-sim then yeah it would have made sense to keep track of ammo.

It’s not, so keeping track of ammo is just going to be a frustrating tedium. Especially in cases of m+ where oops i forgot to repair/restock ammo.

Yea, 4th button is too much for the huntars you say.

A DK is COMPLETELY different from a dark ranger.

15

Dark Ranger is pretty much just necromancer with bow.

Alternatively it could just be a cosmetic option for Hunters turning all their abilities shadowy and let them have more undead minions than just the beastly ones.

16

They very much aren’t.

If anything, they’re hunters who use some form of shadow magic.

“Black Arrow”.
" Units killed while under the effect of Black Arrow will turn into Dark Minions."
We even saw sylvanas raise skeletons during the battle for undercity.

Funny enough, rest of the OG dark ranger kit is split between warlock and priest (Silence, Drain Life, Mind Control).

18

Hell no - we saw that and it was abandoned for good reason

This is a warcraft 3 unit. Most (if any) Dark Rangers in WoW don’t ‘turn’ folks into Dark Minions.

Sylvanas is a lore character. That’s like saying sublety rogues should get Gorefiend’s Grasp because Lilian Voss does so in the Scholomance dungeon.

A lot of stuff from classes that couldn’t make it into WoW (usually because they were too unique and exclusive to their race) ended up being absorbed into the classes that did.

Lich had Frost Nova and Death and Decay, Blademaste had Mirror Images and Bladestorm, Priestess of The Moon had Trueshot Aura and Starfall etc.
