Description of Bug: Equipping a bow with a shield results in the shield disappearing.
Reproduction Steps:

  1.  Equip a shield in one hand.
  2.  Equip a bow in the other.

Edit: I lost the equipped shield through some other circumstances of which I do not know.

Description of Bug: It is possible to loose a bow without using arrows.
Reproduction Steps: 

  1.  Leave arrows in inventory.
  2.  Attempt to attack with a bow.

The expectation is that you should be unable to loose the bow, or at least be told that you're missing due to lack of arrows. It does always appear to miss; however it alerts both parties still, which seems odd, given that there is nothing traveling. Using arrows at least indicated a parry.


Description of Bug: You cannot hit a target standing on items, from a distance.
Reproduction Steps: 

  1. Fire at a target standing on an item, such as a leaf blanket.

I did not try this with a variety of clutter.

Shooting a bow with no arrows has been resolved. It was in fact possible to hit someone with a bow despite not having any arrows. I'm surprised this didn't cause a server error when it went to consume them!

Not being able to attack players who are standing on items is a limitation of the current client (it is interpreting you clicking on the blanket rather than the player). Ranged weapons users are likely going to use the attack targeter anyway since it's much easier than trying to double-click on someone who's moving, but I've fixed the prioritization for the benefit of melee weapon users since this affects them as well.
