The bowgun is definitely awesome, particularly when dealing with catapults since it hits it so many times, but it is SERIOUSLY annoying how a lot of the time the arrow goes through an enemy and decides that it didn't. Lost many many times because of that. Also got blitzed by 4 suicidal guys in a row right off the bat. That was lame.
Needs a Magical counterpart to Dragon Taming. Pretty lame that you can basically go to combat school for free with Dragon Taming and even get paid for it eventually, but the ONLY thing that raises magic attack is magic school
