It MIGHT be coinidence but Yurnero_the_Nailsgifta became Yurnero_the_Magicholescrafta.
The 2nd is a boring longbowman, dime a dozen.
The 1st was...well, awesome! He would make himself a weapon rack in any defensible spot near the flag, reinforce it with a few CS to stop ppl from getting to him while he rearmed, and then would throw endless Throwing Lances. Ive been on this guy's team, and against him, and both ways it was fun, it was different, and wasnt gamebreaking, just game enhancing.
BUT unfortunatly, just like everything from 13 shieldskill steelbucklers to ppl blocking doorways with endless CS spam, if there IS a way to abuse the mechanics, ppl WILL abuse the mechanics, for the same reason you see 100,000 kuyaks with GS: Fun, playing, skill, amusement, nothing is as important as GRINDING OUT THE x5 REGUARDLESS OF WHO I HURT. This problem is kinda exhasperated by things such as the multiplier system, there being an obvious BEST price/effectiveness set of items, and the like.
