Default Troll Warrior Pulling

Hey Guys, ive been rocking out on my Troll Warrior. I saved up and bought a Skipping Stone for him and ive been Totally spoiled by it, now that it no longer works. What do other warriors use to pull now? i started fletching but i just burn through the arrows so fast ! Being Evil no one sells to me so its hard to buy more ammo supplies while adventuring.

What do you other warriors use for pulling now? Im thinking of gettin a shield and just slam pulling with the hope ill stun them so i dont get hit 3 times by the time i get back.

Let me know, thanks !

(im a low level warrior with no money haha)

Train fletching to 20 with your trainer, then do 75 range arrows until they trivial at 36 and move to 150 range arrows. It's cheap as hell to train.

You can use Neriak or Grobb, no problem. Buy 5 stacks of each of the 4 components at least and you can make the arrows while you fight to save time.

If you insist on body-pulling, use strafe running to avoid taking more than one round of hits.

P.S. You're a troll, you don't need a shield to slam.

You can buy Flight arrows (150 range) from certain vendors. You don't have to touch fletching.

Fletching is the way to go. If you have a small amount of plat and can skill up to the 130's you can make cheap 150 range arrows with an extremely high success rate. Also by that point you can make yourself a bow with medium range that is a bit better than the vendor sold bows.

I usually have a few 10 slot containers in my bank full of arrow parts. Good luck!

If you can't afford the vendor arrows, have a mage summon you arrows.

A warrior does NOT need fletching skill in the 130s:
* 150 range arrows trivial at 56 and failure rate at that skill is low.

You do not need to fletch bows as a warrior:
* Hunting Bow is 50 range, so 200 total, and is dirt cheap vendor sold, is also a common drop from certain L20ish mobs.
* Longbow is 100 range, so 250 total, and is cheapish vendor sold.

All you need is range, although low delay on the bow is nice when your first shot hits terrain, it doesn't matter much as you can learn to position yourself so that that is a rare occurence. Even with the best available bow and the most outrageously expensive arrows your bow damage as a warrior will amount to neither diddly nor squat ("this one time i crit'd twice and did 73hp to an incoming 2khp mob, woohoo!"), what you need is to tag the mob to pul it to camp. So get the best range you can nevermind the damage at whatever your budget is.


Also, if you have high level friends doing Seb keys or the cycle in TT, there's a nodrop WAR/RNG only bow with 150 range that drops 100% off the froglok hunter & forager in TT and almost always rots.

tons of good answers in here.

1) feel bad you got spoiled by an exploit
2) get a spectral bow from TT. just /ooc and find someone doing seb keys - they drop constantly
3) level your fletching cause it's awesome to have badass arrows
4) once high enough level, battle rock golems in the hole until you get bow of underfoot

I leveled my war's fletching to like 180. no fucking regrets, shit is sweet. You'll have better damage and ranged attacks than anyone but a ranger.

Also, with high damage arrow/bow, you can land 300+ damage crippling ranged shots [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Above method lets you ghetto kite if you need to kill a mob solo... Just make sure you have plenty of arrows, lol.
