Bow. Ranger through and through. It just fits with me. Keeps mobs at more than arms length and a decent arrow dagger when the needs must. Utility and weapon all rolled into one. Light the way ahead with flaming arrows. Fire a few arrows into a tree and you get a ladder. Air bombs, land bombs, you name it, it can be done with a trusty bow and a handful of arrows.
Ode to bow
There was a time when I tried sword and cutlass and staff,
But whatever the style they always looked naff,
I also tried axe and club and a dagger or two,
But there was something not right and a little askew,
I was never happy with the weapons I chose,
Until my hand alighted on a selection of bows.
I suddenly realised that my favours were narrow,
All I needed was a recurve and a solid true arrow.
