New Weapon Type

What do you think about blowguns for D3? Granted, they prolly wouldn't the best weapons. I'm thinking like the same scale as daggers in D2. It fits nicely with the WD characters and could be respectable with the right type of poisons and other effects. If anything it would be just something to add a little more variety to ranged weapons.

It would be a neat addition, but I think it would be kinda hard to get any really visual "oomph" out of it, with how small the projectiles are.

Unfortunatly from what we've seen of the WD it dosnt look like he would really be useing a ranged weapon. Since we will most likely have some type of ranger class it might work for them but i dont think it would be great. Also with it being like a dagger it would only be good in boss fights where you could shoot more without haveing to run aroumd ( if someone else if fighting the boss with you.) Otherwise its really just gimping your self cause your going to shoot then run away then shoot again so really you would get the same attack speed out a Xbow or reg bow but do way more damage with those.

I'd see blowguns as more of a skill, like the witch doctor would whip one out to shoot a ranged skill (like poison or slow, etc.)

As for actual blowguns they could be cool if they always came with a sweet magic property like paralyze or confuse or blind or cause monster to flee for a duration each, but didn't do much (if any) actual damage to the enemy.

Small blowguns would be cool, but the big 5-6 foot ones like the picture someone posted a while back would just look redunkulous
