I've been playing a Ranger as one of my PC's (the other is a cleric) and I've noted that while she has a ton of special arrows for just about any situation I never seem to use them because they use more AP.
Generally at the start of any fight I have a choice of firing one special arrow and a normal attack, or I could do three normal attacks. Every time I'll do more damage with three normal attacks. Also since my Expert Marksman is maxed out now it seems like the special arrows aren't even doing as much damage anyway.
Sure once in a while there is a need for one, maybe get someone wet so my mage can zap them, setting some oil on fire, etc., but in general use they don't seem to be that good. I've also tried the charm arrows a few times but they always fail as I'm fighting higher level enemies now, so they are all but pointless.
Has anyone else made some actual good use with special arrows over just shooting extra normal ones?
Thanks.
