    Then they should make it the same for all other reagents.

    Not really i think - you can rapid fire arrows using the reckless stance (tactics) and/or use haste potions. But magical spells have the same cooldown no matter what. This is why offensive single target magic spells work so poorly on ghosts - the cooldown enables them to regenerate faster than you can hurt them.

    Also, people can carry hundreds or thousands of arrows no matter the type of ranged attack. The type and number of magical reagents is unique for every spell. You'll run out of focus or reagents long before the archer will.

    Archery also only does a fraction of the damage that many spells do. So, I guess my point is: stop crying for nerfs to archery!

    I'm not sure we didn't already get one with this last patch.

    Regardless, very nice feature to add. Looking forward to it.

    I think they've been nerfing archery little by little each release.

    Is this armor not in-game yet?

    Something I've thought is a good idea would be to narrow down the consumables used to the ones you have equipped on your avatar. So, for archers, arrows put in your quiver, and for mages, reagents put in a reagent pouch.

    This may or may not be limited, but it would allow players to take consumables out of the stack they want to use for combat, so that they're not accidentally used when the player doesn't want to use them.

    So, if I wanted to cast all my spells without reagents, I'd just taken the reagents out of my pouch, or if I wanted to save certain types of arrows, I'd take them out of my quiver.

    Then, they could always add the "free slots" we had in early releases below the paperdoll, where you could put bags and such to "equip" them, and also allow us to place our harvesting/crafting tools there -- in the "free slots" -- to equip, instead of going through this labyrinthine system where we equip our tools on the skills window, then they're greyed out in our inventory (with an option to hide them).

    I love this idea! This is precisely why I was asking for "pockets" aka separate slots we could label ourselves in the backpack during the last telethon. It would greatly declutter our inventory and possibly prevent accidents - like selling an artifact by mistake to an NPC vendor because it's in the middle of Rusty Swords & Shoddy bows.

    I think it's too feminine looking:

    I nearly spit out my coffee when I saw that :)

    Will pass this one by for now - thanks for the advanced warning Barugon.

    I mostly got it for the quiver, which is supposed to be dyable but doesn't work at the moment.

    Most of the pieces except for the chest piece & perhaps the outsized boots are fine. I think the epic cloth chestpiece that most mages use - if dyed to match - will do well with parts of this outfit. The quiver and the headpiece are particularly nice.

    I happen to not be wearing the armor,just used the quiver. It is better than I expected. I don't think the pics do it justice. I have to have this on multiple avatars now, :D:p:D

    While the actual quiver is now delivered if you buy the full suit, the pattern packs don't include the quiver pattern yet (or at least the one I just bought didn't ;) ) - and crafting books seems not to have the reshape option for anything that goes on your 'back' slot, so I assume both those issues will be addressed in a patch soon?

    The note on the store description - "NOTE: As there are no patterns for quivers, this does not include a pattern for the Quiver found on the actual non-pattern store item. " doesn't close off them appearing in the future, just that they don't exist currently.
