Centaur archers should use range attacks
 

centaur archers were shooting arrows at you when you were whithin a range attack radius.

"At lvl 21-24 I was able solo these as a druid, just snare run duck behind a tree then wind blast till they close, then run and duck again, this way those arrows will never stop you from casting only hit you while running between trees. I plan doing the Cent's the same way. Very esy way to lvl up. Also loot on these have been 0-3pp also they drops some med ringmail, and drop those rare words that ppl pay high prices for. just my to 2cp on these. " -May 17 2000"

"So I cast root on one then my DoT then snare. Run away a little cast the same set on another centaur. Just run out of range of their arrows and sit down and med. You med up all your mana the go get another one. " Feb 06 2001"

" run around and cast again then just run outside the arrow range and med. "Feb 06 2001""

also this is how i remember it from back then :)

wanting shooting taurens back !

a bump just in case ...

bump for npcs using range attacks again!

*sadface* are range attacks so unimportant that noone can remember them ? i recall some more mobs using arrows back then. is it just me ?:)

I remember them! Every time I've fought a centaur archer over the last couple years, I would initially thing "fuck, this thing has ranged attacks" and then "lol, you call yourself an archer?"!

Gnolls in Blackburrow would shoot arrows at you as well. Specifically, the gnolls at the first bridge leading to the elite ledge. I'm not sure which other ones did this, but killing them was a nice way to stock up on free ammo and get your first bow.

Rangers at the Druid Rings should use bows and drop them every kill, as well.

Many of the aqua goblins in dagnors cauldon also used to use bows. It would be great to see this return.
