How is Ranged OP?
Maybe I'm just doing it wrong, but a +5 Longbow with +4 arrows and 26 Bows just doesn't seem to do a whole lot for me. Its great against enemies that don't have a melee attack, but it takes a lot longer to kill everything than either melee or caster nukes which causes problems against enemies with ranged attacks. At one point I got so frustrated with this character that I just switched over to a crappy glaive (11 polearms) and tried to tab-suicide, but I actually killed off the 3 enemies that I was having trouble bowing to death in just a couple turns. I've had many more close calls as a bowyer than I usually do as a suboptimal melee (1-hand + shield).
Is it just considered OP because you can kill melee only enemies without them being able to hit you? I really just don't understand. On top of everything else its really, really boring and tedious to play a ranged character
