    In chat we now have a new meme called "Why are ghosts archers?". I still to this day have no idea at all what people are referring too, but I do have a few guesses:

    1) While fighting ghosts, they suddenly whip out a bow and start shooting you? This I have never seen happen so I don't think it is that.
    2) When ghosts are draining focus from you, they are actually using some bow skill vfx. This is my best guess as what people are referring too?

    Sadly, I'm one of the 2 people people in the entire game playing melee ( ;) ) so I don't actually know anything about archery skills or any of the vfx they use.

    Could someone explain what exactly people are referring too?

    I play melee and I also don't know. So you are one of 3 I guess. :)

    I've noticed that ghosts have a few new abilities. One of those new abilities looks like Ice Arrow. Since this is a spell, and doesn't actually require a bow, I don't see any problem with it.

    Maybe because their new(ish) strength drain debuff uses one of the Ranged icons? I don't recall off hand which one, maybe it was Disabling Shot. Confused the crap out of me the first time, I couldn't recall fighting any archers.

    IMHO, the vfx looks alot like the gust spell.
