What about arrow types?

[SoULLeSs]

So I was thinking...what if we had other arrows, or kinds of arrows?

Let's just say, some that poison, knockback, either with fire damage or just explode, give crush damage (good against skeletons) piercing arrows (that goes through several mobs and anti-armor) arrows that would spill the floor with oil, then you could fire it up and make a chain-reaction, a split arrow that fire 3 projectiles? Enchanted arrows special to particular enemies, maybe holywater for undead?

Just my 2 cents. Coming from a Ranger main in most rpgs

I would have liked a spell from one of the magic trees adding an elemental buff to the arrows. Also poison arrows would be great.

How about arrows dont take up so much space? Like maybe just 1x2 instead of 1x3?!

Doubt they will lower the vertical space of the arrows, unless we're talking about bolts, maybe Crossbow would do more damage, more range, but slower and more compact ammo? That could balance the choosing between a crossbow or a normal bow, each one to their own and use

I think they may add such a skill in the Venomancer tree

Bows had 2 kinds of arrows basically:

hunting arrows & battle arrows

then each of those 2 categories get branches like heavy tips/armor piercing or long flight etc

of course then we can add magic like fire arrows or more realistic with poison

Nice, a hunter arrow could have a buff against wild animals, it would be opsolete against humans, the battle arrows in the other side could harm normal npc

I can see fire arrows all the way. There's already an existing mechanic for lighting enemies on fire, just have each fire arrow have ~40-50% chance to inflict the status.

This sounds great, I would like to have different types of arrows, or items that can buff arrows for a limited amount of time: like a torch or a flask of venom we can use in combination with the arrows.
