Enchanted bolts destroyed the combat triangle. Those were ridiculously over-powered.
This. There's really nothing to counter them. Sure melee has barrows, but melee should be the stronger one against rangers anyways. And even barrows has their weaknesses and enchanted bolts... Well, doesn't. Bolts use crossbow so that's shield + for rangers, which makes them even stronger.
Wrong, in the combat triangle:
Mage > Melee
Melee > Range
Range > Mage
But because it is 2006, melee is OP.
I think the staff should add crossbows but not enchanted bolts, that would work.
