I love the thief shortbow. So much AoE and the single target isnt horrible. All the melee weapon sets serve different purposes and excel in their own way. Pistols probably do the most single target damage from ranged, but is sub-par to melee damage, the risk vs reward damage.
1. asura male thief
2. norn female warrior
3. human female ele
4. char male eng
Last is unknown, but I finally figured out after many games that if the race is human like i prefer female, yet if it is more animal/monster-like i prefer male. (human male characters are so bleh.)
Picked LoL back up because new friends wanted to play it, also picked up a few games in the steam summer sale like GTA IV, and playing around on emulators, mainly old pokemon games. Just one more month D:
