Attack Speed and Archers

[EAGLEGOLFER]

I saw this on planetrakion just now, and I thought it was interesting. I just joined up with planetrakion today.


"for those who think that archer *Dont* need atk spd or being fed by wrong information from someone

archer actually need/should but *not* must add atk spd

reason:
(1) i admit that atk spd dont help archer to shot faster but,
(2) atk spd reduce the delay after each shot, which mean u can react faster after ut shot hit the target or miss
(3) atk spd makes archer recover from stun faster, which mean u r harder to be juggled by stunning or stungripped
(4) useful if u r archer that regularly switch to basic mode too

i dont c any reason that archer should not add atk spd

strokke: tell the ppl that say archer dont need atk spd *stop spreading rumour , because the pro or even moderated archers from Malaysia will laugh if they heard the rumour, me myself never use archer as my main char but i know how the atk spd works to archer and i dont like feeding ppl with wrong information

cow: trust me, put ur extra stats on atk spd and u will find it useful"

Well, even though attack speed is useful, I don't think I would put any into attack speed until I max out a few other stats first. Such as, range, maybe move speed, and armor?

[nimby]

I totally agree with that and have known for a while that attack speed helps a lot. Range and move speed should still be maxed first, as well as a fair amount of stats into armor before raising attack speed imo (unless you frequently use melee in non-basic games).

u said atck speed is usefull in basic games
but i thought that basic mode means that u are a lvl 1 character
- your eq doesnt count
- no monsters
- you are lvl 1 and are as a first made character

so whats the use in adding atck speed when u play a lot of basic?

[nimby]

Umm...no, I did not say that attack speed is useful in basic games.

melee archer is eh.... not reelie that good..

[nimby]

Yeah it is, if you get a good dive and get a 2x you do more damage than a single arrow, not to mention you can move the other person (say...off the lift in gravity or off the bridge in snake temple...).

Also, the Archer special is very good, 2nd best starting special in the game, so if that is pumped as well you can do immense damage.

If you get good at jump attacking you can do quite a bit of damage not to mention really slow someone down because jump attacks are always knock-down.

also, i'm pretty sure archers tie ninjas for the highest starting grip. so, if you're good at gripping, jump-attacking, and specialling, then you'd be a great melee archer. of course, that's probably the same with everyone lol.

Getting archer's special attack to hit all three times is sometimes a little hard though...

[Sedna]

Ninjas have the same grip atk as archers and warriors, it's just because it hits four times that it's good.

I THINK mage has a higher start grip because they only hit twice, and bs has more because they own in general.

Dont use archer's special, use it's invincible. It's off the special stat point, and does a whole lot more dmg. Plus it's invincible.

[nimby]

It might be "invincible" but it also has a much longer cool down time.

archer melee is juss jump attack and jump attack and jump attack.. juss lyk ninjas... cept they also grip... well not reelie... cuz they miss a lot... cuz lyk juss dont hit them... and lyk yah... archers also juss camp wit their invincible lyk four of em do it at diffent times so its impoissbile to ddge and lyk BASM (BAM SPASM) ur done

[Sedna]

I made a special atk archer once. It was great in boss against noobs or just against noobs in general. I'd grip them, and then camp them with invincible. The invincible atk took about 80% of their health.

Instant KO. :]
