For one rangers aren't "too powerful". They hit for 20-50's max w/o spells...and even lower than 20 sometimes...Thieves can use cobalt and use their main ability, Berserkers can use cobalt and use Berserk...which is the same as rapid fire...and also hit harder...and u might say "well zerks dont have armor" even with that fact rangers only hit zerks for like 70's 80's...and every other class can use it with their normal attacks. Enchanted bows base damage was already dropped...i dont see how this bow is "too powerful" or whatever...its got lower base than eb and the vamp isnt even that much.
i hit for 50-60 on players with Facade, a crappy lvl 25 elf ranger stats 18 18 18 18 20 19. so if im hiting for 60's on players how are your arches hitting for 20-50? i have NEVER hit for 20 against any player, not even mages with AoP, with a full hit from the bow. Rangers have a 1 click ability, no reason to make them be able to 1 click someone and gain hp back from it 'just' because other classes can 1 click and gain life.
Edit: WOW!!! I just realised you said a certain something...
and every other class can use it with their normal attacks.
Yes, Every class can use the cobalt with thier normal attacks along with Rangers. I think this is a very un-thoughtout statement. a fighter can just attack with it. a cleric can just attack with (or cast spells), a mage can attack with it (or cast spells) a druid can morph and attack with it, but thats a different point, the weapon becomes part of the druid. Thieves can assassinate with it and gain life for obvious reasons. berserkers can smite or berserk with it for obvious reasons. paladins can attack with it or cast spells. So there are now 3 characters with a 1 click ability and you want to make all of them be able to vamp using that ability, thats a bad reason to okay something. and 3 classes can use a vamp weapon with 1 of thier abilities, wow, another winner to make this into a great suggestion. i mean come on, if your going to look at it that way, who dont we give all the classes the same abilities, same hp, same mp, allow them to wear the same armor and equip the same weapons, hell, while we're at it lets make everyone use the same picture and maken speak in german. Just because one class has something, doesnt mean they all do, or for that matter, any other class.

I read somewhere that ostrichs hide their heads under the sand because moles watch porn.
