No Arrows in ARR?!

[Rokien]

again, this is not even the same topic...

Throwing weapons are supplamental damage other classes can use (also ARC/BRD can equip some throwing weapons as well) where as without Arrows an ARC/BRD does 0 dmg (ingnoring the very miniscule dmg that punching does)

the two are not comaparable at all

They both cost gil
They both take up invintory
They both do damage
they both give tp
they both take up invontory space
They both are crafted

You can compare arrows to throwing weapons.

again no you can't, no class HAS to use the throwing weapons in order to do their base attack...
they would only be comaprable if as, lets say a PLD, you had to use throwing knives until you built up enough TP to swing your sword,(edit: I forgot, and this sword swing still consumed one of your throwing knives) then they would be an equitable thing to consumable arrows.

as they are now, they are an OPTION, where as arrows are mandatory

arrows are an option as well, you can go up and HIT the mob with your fists.

and not do any type of weapon skills, and only do about 20-30 per strike, a handicap not placed on the other classes unless the weapon is broken (a state that can happen to ARC/BRDs as well wether they have arrows or not)

arrows are not optional, with out them....well why not play MNK and actually do damage and Weapon skills if I'm so dead set on punching things
