I hope this post isn't too "ranty" for this section. If I considered it a rant I would have placed it in the primal scream board, but I think it has significant relevance here:
Has anyone else noticed that for wood elf cultural arrows, rogues are excluded from the list of classes that can use them? Even Shadowknights are included on the list, even though there are no wood elf SKs.
It seems especially odd that the "mithril scout arrows" (the non-blessed ones) can't be used by wood elf rogues. The rogue guild in Kelethin is called the "Scouts of Tunare".
I strongly suspect that this is not intended, but merely an oversight by Sony, since there is no game balance related reason that I can think of for this exclusion. I suggest that people use the in-game /feedback command to point this oversight out to them.
With planar mobs being immune to non-magic arrows, it seems unfair to exclude rogues from being able to hit mobs (even when using a planar bow) unless they get acrylia arrows which are very difficult to harvest components for, as we all know.
I believe summoned arrows also have a MAGIC tag, but of course they are NO RENT and can only be summoned by rangers and mages.
With the introduction of so many mobs in the high game that can't take damage from regular arrows, I'd like to see a low quality crafted MAGIC arrow (similar in stats to the summoned arrows) that can be made with less effort than the high-end mithril/acrylia. Perhaps the components could all be purchasable in PoK. It seems that without expending huge resources to get acrylia (or for non-rogues, mithril) arrows, the only people who can use a bow in the planes (and actually do a tiny bit of damage with it) is rangers with the endless quiver AA. It doesn't strike me as necessary to put such a choke on the MAGIC arrow supply when an easy supply of MAGIC arrows wouldn't change the fact that bows are still a very inefficient means of attack for non-rangers.
