Some weapons can be equipped if you meet the requirements. Elf archers can wield weapons they have requirements for, however.... you will not be able to use your skills with them, which defeats the purpose. Weapons can help for some mob slaying at earlier levels but later you have to really focus on your specialty weapon.
The thing with rangers is that they only do 1/2 damage when the target gets too close, which is why some like to switch to melee weapons for full non skill dmg.
That said, all "melee" skills are actually just melee damage type used with the bow.
k, i'm going to reinstall this game after its finished downloading. last time i played i tryed an elf ranger then an elf priest. the pause between attacks was kind of annoying with both classes. so i'm going to try playing a human and whatever their melee class is and compare it with my elf priest. :3
