Ninja range weapons

Mister Natural · 02-08-2002, 09:10 AM

I've been giving my ninja all the throwing weapons, knives, darts, shuriken. Adding points to those skills, but haven't been real impressed with the damage being done and the sparse supply of those types of weapons. After running out of those types of weapons I finally gave him/her a bow and some arrows and it seems to be working out, just disappointed I wasted all those points in throwing and not into bow skill.

What you're to expect from a Ninja is throwing INSTAKILLS not thrown damage.

You will start seening them regularly after level 15 with a Critical Strike of 75+.

Thrown Criticals, will not work with Bows, I think they do not work with slings either.

Thanks for the info. I will indeed continue with throwing skills.

The Boomerang Shuriken works very well for a Ninja
as a second primary weapon.

The critical skill works with bows/swords/ or thrown. The Ninja's special ability is to automaticaly penetrate with thrown weapons which helps him crit more, since you have to penetrate before you even get to role for crit.

It's also works quite well for a Samurai too. Damn, she gets a lot of long range crits, I laugh out loud with joy! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Don't use a bow when you're out of thrown weapons, give your Ninja a sling, it will add to the thrown/sling skill (although you won't be able to do critical hits with it like thrown weapons)... Still will help you get better for when you do have thrown weapons.
