It looks like they're one-handed. -- Gordon Ecker 04:46, 26 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Is this kind of like a playboy? Are we just looking at the pictures here? Or is that what the text says? :P --Xasxas256 04:50, 26 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Yep, it's just the pictures. I translated it with babelfish, it's pretty much this page in Japanese with different art plus some information that only affects players on the Japanese servers (specifically, the hasty translation into Japanese for the PvP preview event and the monthly payment plan that's not available here). -- Gordon Ecker 05:37, 26 July 2006 (CDT)

So basically it's... slightly less damaging than a bow, but faster AND it allows for the use of an offhander/shield? That's pretty mighty stuff there, then. This is not the weak bard I thought it would be, although I'm still going for the Dervish in terms of overall coolness. I see a crapload of potential for P/Ws and to a lesser extent, W/Ps. I'm guessing those may well end up as the new wammos. --Black Ark 03:42, 28 July 2006 (CDT)


 * Nah, wammos would always have mending and healing hands.Silk Weaker 04:27, 28 July 2006 (CDT)


 * Too bad there's no spear equivalent of Barrage, Lightning Fury or Plague Javelin ... yet ... -- Gordon Ecker 03:57, 29 July 2006 (CDT)

projectile flight time
Can someone with some kind of video capture capabilities check the exact projectile flight time? -- Gordon Ecker 03:51, 29 July 2006 (CDT)
 * I came up with 0.6 (0.59 as with the shortbow?) at shortbow range. 80.202.245.195 11:05, 29 July 2006 (CDT)

anet goes illogical again
Those are actually javelins, spears are more like 3-metres long and you'd have to have a lot of good intentions to throw them further than straight into your fingertips. - Lavvaran 15:58, 17 September 2006 (CDT)

Coming to think of it youve got a good point o_O 62.252.128.28 16:00, 17 September 2006 (CDT)
