Why do we not have pure ranged abilities. bows need to build up runic power to use it. Wands are wands in name only honestly there just Billie clubs with a different name i get it with staffs that’s fine but bows and wands reliant on melee attack to generate runic power to then be able to use it honestly is bs. you have enemies using bow and crossbows so there are arrows in the world so why cant we. then there mobs like the witches that do a literal spell attack they don’t have to build resources at all just spam it. why cant we with our wands it. if your not gunna let us just be ranged take the weapons out its pretty much false advertising there.

I want a rocket launcher that one shot the eco knight and that as a legendary effect makes it explode creating hundreds of embers and gems because I have a real life and 5 minutes of gameplay a day are not enough for me to find everything
thats not what im asking for im asking for an actuel ranged option to be in the game.
Indeed, the closest thing we have to guns are the “elemental darts” from the wands.
As for ammo.. most have resorted to using the Ring of Determination.
If you build your gear to focus on lifesteal and healing, you’ll practically never run outta ammo.
Granted, it will likely get nerfed in the future (if not outright removed).. it’s still a lot of fun to play around with, while we can.
The developers have already said that in 1.0 Bows and Wand will have stamina based ranged attacks, two-handed staffs too (but I’m not sure if it’s good for the staffs since I like them as they are).
They also plan to add two-handed GreatBows, crossbows and two-handed crossbows (But I don’t know if they will be added in 1.0).
The ranged combat of this game is not easy to balance, consider that they had already tried to make the bow use stamina but It wasn’t clear if it was suitable for the game’s combat so they changed it back for more testing.

I like wands as they are, they are not ranged weapons tho. Bear in mind that the bows we have rigth now in the game are Secondary Weapons (off-hand) and not main weapon. That’s why they are designed to build focus first using your MAIN weapon and support your moveset with range attacks.
We will have main range weapons later, they have been balancing these because even being secondary weapons they are very overpowered.
alright didn’t know about that just finished my first play threw of the game wanted to do a bow build but saw it was off hand only. i understand that range plays can seem cheap to some but i think a lot of people forget that ranged trades a lot of survivability in souls types so there is balance there but we will see
