Blow pipe skill/item?

I think this is a definate must for the WD wether it should be a skill or an item I dont know.I think it should come under as a very fast attack ,poison is a must but it doesn't have to be all poison but have things that incapacitate.Id actually be very surprised if the WD doesn't use one in fact it should be a class specific item although masks might take up that slot.

By the way I did a search on this and cant believe its bearly mentioned.

Re: Blow pipe skill/item?

I can't either actually. That sounds like a pretty cool idea for a weapon. Only problem is the mask cause if I'm right the mask also has no mouth hole. You mention that the mask may already be the class-specific item for the WD, but even if it is that doesn't mean he can't have another. After all the zon has bows and javelins.

Re: Blow pipe skill/item?

That does sound like an interesting ranged weapon. I liked the dart guys in Act III. Some sort of standard special effect or damage over time would be more logical than straight up damage.

Sounds like a cool idea to me, maybe they could give it a paralyzing effect mixed with damage over time.

Re: Blow pipe skill/item?

Darts that get stuck in your skin until they explode.

They could also have ones that cause hallucinations. This would result in lower AR and cause you to randomly use attacks. Would be a nice skill for pvp.

Would a blowdart be 1-handed or 2-handed, or would both exist? 1-handed letting you carry a shield, with 2-handed giving a lot more AR.

They might be implementing range. However if they aren't and increase in AR and maybe some extra damage would be nice. Though that depends on the ease with the WD might be able to get his AR up.

He could do Multishot with a pan flute, though.

Hmm, dual-wielding Annihilating Pan Flutes of Pandemonium sounds promising, I would certainly vote for that
