The harp is a lie.

[Cer]

By transform, I'd assume that they mean in the same way the pickaxe transforms.

I mean there's a huge honking hinge that attaches the lower half of the bow to the instrument. How the device locks into position without coupling under the strain of the string, is a complete mystery, but I'm going to go ahead and say it's magic.

This, and pardon the crappy drawing i've done, but essentially this is my thoughts on how the "Barp" or "How" works.

Nice dude thats cool. I'm glad people are starting to get the concept ^^ never underestimate the power of a diagram.

EDIT: Do you think you can do one were the bottom half is a dagger instead of completing the other side? I think both of these "transformations" are valid at this point, I just wanna see for poops and giggles.

open that link... now click on the pic to zoom in, now hjold Control and turn you rmouse wheel to zoom in more... notice NO arrow heads... NO arrow tips... IF those are arrows they are only shafts lol... deal with it those arent arrows...

harp maybe

weird looking bow definitely

proof archer is gonna be arcbard not yet, but chances are your gonna have to live with it haha

That actually does look like a bow harp. You could say those are arrows, but the arrow that is on the bowstring is much longer than those so called spare arrows...

my god this is still going on?.... Its a polearm, and a bow.....

[DantesAmore]

polearm? lol your on crack

Kind of sad that Bayohne revealed it's a Transformer, but didn't say if it's an Autobot or a Decepticon. Nice that we're starting to get pet classes though. Bit unexpected that they went with a robot. I'm guessing that the tiny red moon or the Garlean Empire has something to do with it.

The argument isn't that bard is bad, bard is good, the argument is that "bow harp" weather its in the picture or not, is a very stupid idea, and we all seem to agree on that.

So in a few words just busting the dev team balls for fun?

Go play the game and fill your free time XD

It is a lyre shaped crossbow (after transformation) that fires magic "singing arrows/bolts" that enfeeble and debuff the enemy.

Remember that in XI it was crossbow bolts that enfeebled enemies whereas arrows mostly increased accuracy (although some did elemental damage). Archer "Job" could still be Ranger which grants you crossbow enfeeb abilities and if so, you would need to switch weapons easily and quickly.

Or else it's a BowHarp. I'm ok either way.

I just hope I dance a little jig if/when I sing.
