Going to make our single target DPS higher than a sin/war? Static shot is useless now, level 2 bounces 1-2 times now instead of the 3 before... Each hit does the same damage so it's a massive nerf in our DPS... 1 bounce at level 2 is a joke.

So being a true single target DPS class now how come 2 other classes have higher single target DPS than us now?

level 3 static shot here
It bounces 2 or 3 times, rarely 4 or 5. (used to hit 5 times)
Very slow bounce which makes no difference just looks awful.
No stun (never liked stun anyways, always messed my lures up).

Attacking with rapid fire and spirit shot is now higher damage in all situations (even multiple mobs), as static costs almost double the mp and does almost identical damage unless you can get 4 or 5 bounces which is rare.

Im now lowest dps class on server, even tao spamming poison does more dmg then me now lol.

Yes it is that bad, you've wasted your money.

A tao with 2 leveled skellies deals more damage than us now, this is a joke. I rolled this class as I wanted high DPS and low HP a true glass cannon, instead I got a wanna be wizard with no shield.


Remove the TDB stun would have made the spell fine but now... really? Please introduce a class change option for all Archers as they are the worst class in the game now this has been nerfed in to the ground. A tao kills quicker than me ffs.

Moaners 1 - 0 Archers.
It's like the USA GMs who have never played Mir before are running this...

It's a joke, remove the TDB effect, have a slight delay but now it's garbage. I just can't get my head around the single target DPS yet 3 out of the 4 other classes deal more single target damage than us and that is with them using shop items not d rings etc -.-

So you want to be able to 1 hit people before they even see you now? Everyone knew archer was going to be weak at higher levels. Range attackers can't have huge dps on this game it would totally destroy the game. I get 3 hit as a sin from my fellow archers. And I have no dash to get near to/away from them quicker.

My spirit shot does 115 dmg, my static shot does around 40 dmg per hit.

Spirit shot is effected by rapid fire, static is not.

80-200 damage for static for 35mp (140 with 3 shot average)
115 damage for spirit shot for 20mp (not including rapid fire).

There is no situation I can see this new static shot being ANY use to me.

But at least they have fixed ice arrow again, can put that on my skill list again now.

Well done making useless class why don't you just delete it you've just well and truly ****ed up one class.. It's like removing haste, tdb , magic shield and heal.. All the main spells and you screw archer, funny thing is Taos can his from the spell and can cast mass hide on players just retard players with no PVP tactics but your server il bet some archers stop playing due to this stupid nerf.

Skill would have been fine if they just removed the yellow effect, no more moaning about the OP stuns. But with the huge nerf to the bounces and no reduction in mp cost the skill is just plain redundant. It offers no AOE value anymore, just sucks up your mp pots for chance of small damage increase.

Sorry like but what a ****ing load of bullshit this is, i wish people would get their facts right before posting **** like this, im level 40 archer and ive never 1 hit some1 over the level of 15 how ever i've been 1hitting by plenty of sins and warriors.


If archers stay like this its either quit or reroll, and i dont think i have enough drive or energy to reroll.

You know me and Exwizz fight in game but he/she is right.

I get 1 shot by 40 + warriors, have done several times.
If I'm not paying attention in a group fight and go to cast a spell and a sin gets up close and personal to me I die in around 1.5 seconds.
A tao... to be fair they are godly so not point talking about them.
A wizard rapes me to. Only reason I've beaten any wizards in PvP is the amount of HP pots I can carry.

So archer is bottom of the PvP tree, static shot gave us a chance in 1v1 but now we're total trash.


PvE. AoE every class is better than us now.
Single target, everyone is better than us now.

Been leveling this morning and it's depressing to see everyone kill things quicker than a high DPS class.
What the hell is the point of an archer?

Like Exwizz, I've started re rolling a war but I don't really have to drive to level one.

You have destroyed a whole class by making a change, you've made a mid tier class bottom tier.

Like someone stated moaners 1 - archers 9 ****ing pisstake. If the moaners knew how to even PVP it wouldn't be classed as a strong spell you can move to avoid bounce and even use hide if your a Tao and as for hitting warriors we do no damage

ROFL btw gz on nerf, but I think u may have overdone it by looks of all these new complaints, LOL. Maybe there was another way u cud have nerfed the class, either way im happy, in a 1v1 sin40 v archer40 (ss) I use to lose 50% hp as the cycle of 1 SS ran through. Maybe now the achers can develop a better technique
