MP Bow use

ok, I have always wondered why using a bow also consumes mp, I can accept using mp for skills in my case stun & double shot. But the point is why consume mp on the basic attack? other classes (fighter) dont consume mp just to swing a sword, do archers have to use some jedi mind control or something to allow them to fire a bow?

Also did the game developers just forget about making crossbow use for arbalesters consume mp, I mean come on ppl drop the mp consumption for basic attack and lets all feel the love in this game :D

and so it begins.......................

Someone told me thats cause fireing an arow is more or less like casting, so it requires a minimum concentration and uses mp..

but the real reason is to prevent skill spaming imo.

other classes (fighter) dont consume mp just to swing a sword,
Orc Mystics actually gain MP by swinging a sword.

do archers have to use some jedi mind control or something to allow them to fire a bow?
Nope, they "just" need to lvl to 81 and learn Silent Mind.

This new skill is just wrong as the whole concept imo.

agreed it sux (MP needed to fire an arrow)

but hey, L2 archers are able to fire arrows from bows without bowstrings^^ maybe that's why:rolleyes:
