Archers Left Out Again pt 2

tidustheswordwarrior

could I get some feedback on these suggestions, increase wings of grace damage reduction to 50-60% since sins, seekers and others are doing zerk crits that make this skill pretty useless. raise the damage on thunderous blast up to 400% weapon dmg with slightly lower channel. Add % of Weapon dmg to quickshot and increase atk damage. increase Weapon dmg on take aim along with adding base dmg. make stormrage eagleon useful instead of useless. Make Barrage stronger on atk dmg and increase the duration of elven alacrity to 10-12secs.

lol. you should check out the skill adjustments archer get in the next update. Besides..cept for chan reduction on thunderous, anything else you suggest is either pointless (since it wont change the dmg by alot) or would be too broken (WoG with 50%+ dmg reduction would make archer nearly immortal when it comes to pure survivability.

The only change I would like to see is half the chi cost of Aim Low and make it a 100% freeze and not 90%, same with stunning arrow. Whisper Shot should also get the chi cost halved. Those fixes ontop of the adjustments in the update would make archer perfect.

One thing tho...Winged shell is the most useless skill archer have. Even with 0 chi cost, the dmg reduction would be neglicable..and its slow as well. Make it insta cast, no chi and 25% of ur HP as absorbed damage. That would be decent.

An aoe knockback and longer ulti won't fix archer. I don't see why his damage increase suggestion on skills other than thunderous "wont change the dmg by alot". He didn't even give a number.

Half the chi cost on aim low and whisper shot won't change the fact that archer damage and survival are too low to compete with other classes.

GoF and 20% purge on G17 is what can save archers.

AOE knockback is at least an actual buff and not a nerf like all the primal passives, every one of those (except for the upcoming def lev passive) hit archer either hardest or harder than average

The G17 purge has a lot of potential if it's as OP as it seems. Frost splash in particular might be redeemed as a massive purge aoe (it currently has no ability to purge). We still don't know quite how it reacts with ranged attacks since ranged / melee attacks can have different behaviors. I actually have the profane wood and jades ready for s3 but I'm way short on jaggeds unfortunately. I'm not quite sold on GoF G17 but if lots of other players are getting super purge weapons it might make GoF more viable.​​

the only reason why i left out the damage increases cause im sure pw would put em in accordingly. with wings of grace, it does need to have an increased damage reduction with how every class is getting more op and more damage which will make this skill useless. Instead of making it 50% why not 40%?
