Neat effect of the STR/DEX Glitch paired with Explosive Arrows
Well to start off, I want to make sure that everyone understands to basics of the STR/DEX glitch or none of this will make sense.
Basically, if your base STR/DEX + STR/DEX from equipment (excluding charms) is too low to equip an item (for example the 49 DEX required for Kuko Shakaku), then usually you cannot equip it. However, if you manage to get stat boosting charms (my favorite is the Hellfire Torch) that boost your STR/DEX high enough to use the item, then you can equip it. On your screen, everything is fine and dandy. However, on everyone else's screens, you appear to be missing that piece of equipment. This is evident on many Bowzons that seem to be punching out arrows (and will allow us, as Bow Enchantresses using either Ravenclaw or Kuko Shakaku or even Demon Machine, to do many interesting things)
Now, down to the meat of it: You are an Enchantress. You enchant yourself. You put on your Bow (from now on refered to as Kuko). To everyone else, you appear to have un-equiped your weapon and shield, and are now using your fists. When you shoot at things using your Kuko, you appear to be punching them. For most bows, what happens is you appear to be punching out arrows or bolts (again, extrememly evident in some Bowzons shooting out Guided Arrows with their *fists*).
However, an interesting thing happens when you equip an item (such as Kuko) that shoots Explosive Arrows/Bolts. They are invisible too! What this means is, you seem to be punching someone from as far away as you can shoot. You appear to everyone else to be punching at nothing, then shortly later, something gets hit with what seems to be the explosion of a Fire Ball (or Explosive Arrow, but we won't go there).
Do with this what you will. I personally use it in dueling. Invisible 15k "Fire Balls" can be quite devestating because one simply cannot dodge them. Now technically this should work with all other classes using the same technique, but in reality you must be shooting the regular Explosive Arrows, so no Invisible Guided Arrows (that...would be awesome). In that aspect, the Enchantress is really the only person to which this can actually be used benificially.
Ask for clarification if it's needed on any point, and I apologize in advance if this has been documented (I couldn't find any scrap of it).
