Created a new Universal Tree: Battle Archer

[sevy7389]

Since DDO came out 15 years ago I have been trying to make a fighter archer. And the character never make it. I have shot bows and crossbows as a trainers for a long time and the unbalancing act between them is crazy. Bows are way faster then crossbows to shoot by a large factor but crossbows get a better punch at short range. At long range their power is about the same (heavier arrow vs higher bolt speed). Anyway I have decide to make an universal AP tree for the fun of it. Tell me what you think.

I wouldn't hold my breath, as this year's producer letter mentions the bow-focused universal tree Horizon Walker. Let's see how this turns out.

Yes, Idea Guy!
They will now take your exact entire game design idea and transplant it directly into the game.
This definitely happens in video games.

We're posting suggestions, hoping the devs will so much as throw a microsecond's glance at the topics, this dude over here is designing the actual intricacies of the game content like it's about to be copy pasted straight into the game. Talk about optimism!
