Bows and init...

[skybert]

Bows use melee init, as far as I've gathered. Why?
It is a ranged weapon, right?
Then it should have ranged init, right?

Wrong. Performing a bow attack requires some movements that are not unlike melee movements (move a whole lot of arms to put the arrow onto the bow, draw the string back, and let go. Lots of physical movement.

As for "normal" ranged init, it all comes down to aiming, and then pulling a trigger.

Difference.

Bow should have melee init.

Am I right?
Or am I wrong?

They are supposed to use Physic init as far as I know, basically they are bugged at the moment until 'maybe' patch 14.6, not sure if all of them are bugged though.

Almost. You don't swing a bow like you would a sword, so melee init doesn't quite fit. It should be physical init, and will be in 14.6 (next year).
