Err.. no, this IS true and you can't compare hunting with another archer with soloing on an assassin, obviously. The same applies for two sins.

I realise sins kills slower than they did but the point is they don't underperform Archers in pve, if you disagree you obviously HAVEN'T tested it or have a hidden agenda.

In PSC making 800k/hr on a sin is possible even without FD at all (I did it on my sin who is too low level to even have FD). However, with l3 static shot I make 720k/hr exp using SS in the most efficient way on 5th floor.

I haven't played Chronicles in almost a month but when I did play the best I ever did solo on any map was around 800k exp per hour on my Archer, which was significantly lower than what War/Sin/Wiz could do. I obviously cannot comment on any recent changes.

My archer hits 150 crits on frost shot with lv3 deathly and 66dc. Same kit on sin gets me 43dc. Max hot on sin 170 and single target only. I can kill 2 of any mob faster than a sin can solo most mobs solo. Learn your class lol.

Spare me the standard "learn your class" comment, game is full of idiots who make outrageous fake quotes so your claims mean nothing. Anyway, what part of the fact each single target hit takes same time sin makes 3 hits (all of which are double shot). Therefore sin has 5-6 single target hits for every archer single target hit. 170 dmg is not a typical hit if it's a high end crit.

Real figures below (note the sin is wearing alot shitter kit as my noob):-
Archer DC 28-49 Luck1 (DC 39.67) using SpiritShot L3 = 92dmg (before mobs defence) every 1.5 seconds. *
Assassin DC 16-40 Luck0 (DC 28) = 42dmg (before mobs defence) every 0.36(ish) seconds.

*Note:- the archer only hits this fast when using the haste spell.
Even deducting the mobs defence the sin will kill quicker for normal trash mobs. Obviously I'd assume the Archer was actually using static shot (in which case 64 dmg * 5 hits every 2 seconds) though, but you said "single target only".

Factor in 42 AC in your calculations and see what happens :P

Lvl 41 sin here. Took a week off and logged on earlier for the event and can definitely confirm as well that DMG is lower now. Takes many more hits to kill psc mobs and FD doesn't seem to be working as well or often ? But also noticed HP increase which I feel is more valuable on a sin. I never had to sorry about doing DMG it was the staying alive that was the hard part in certain areas/pvp . if something was "nerfed" why can't you guys relax and let the gms fix it and balance things when they have time why do you all freak out and bash Sam etc. When they have clearly put great effort into this server. Take a chill pill people go breathe some fresh air give and the server some time geez.
