Just a small observation and whatnot:
So for the last few weeks, with the maple leaves, I have been using MW to use my bow. This allowed me to switch from my HT pendant to a Narc pendant to increase my damage. For the longest time I've heard from others that when your MW gets dispeled, you dc, but I had never experienced that till yesterday.
For the 2-3 weeks I've used MW to equip my bow, Ive papped with no problems. When I got dispeled, my weapon would just disappear, and I'd merely have to recast MW to attack again.
With that in mind, I decided to test my max damage range with all the buffs I could get in the last few days to test my fastest pap time. It was then that I notice myself dcing. There were only two differences between my not dcing paps and my dcing paps: The use of ciders and the use of diamond arrows.
./end of story format.
I havent really had much of a chance to test this out so Im just throwing this out there for those who perhaps want to use MW to equip a weapon but fear dcing:
When I get dispeled, I get a notice, saying I cannot use this attack because Im out of arrows. This would mean that regardless of weapon or not, I cant attack.
The reason that one dc's when their MW gets dispeled is because they're in the middle of an attack and thus for some magical reason, it doesnt process properly and dcs you.
So combining those two points, you wont dc because you cant be in the middle of an attack when you get dispeled due to lack of arrows.
Im sorry, this isnt very well articulated right now and perhaps I'll rephrase things later, but Im just throwing that out there now:
tl;dr Perhaps its "safe" for archers to use MW to equip bows if we dont have arrows in our inventory.
