    No concrete info. However, from experience, I believe it is the same as the Air to Ground reduction: 50%. It seems like when you stand in shallow water, sometimes the game will classify you as being "not on land" and so the reduction is added when you attack mobs that are on land, or even mobs that are standing in the same shallow water (because mobs don't seem to suffer the same glitch).

    It's a Feature, not a Problem. It's been around since 2008, so there's no way it's a bug anymore.
    101 Sage Sin*/Archer
    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    Touche. You have a good point there. I'm going to start referring to "old problems" as "Features" now.

    This game does have a lot of features.

    You could also call it a handicap (game difficulty-wise)... Swamp of the Wraiths... Guh. The pain, the pain!! b:surrender

    Btw, don't you get more exp and spirit from air and water mobs than land ones of the same level after defeating them?
    Maintenance time. Please choose a line:
    - When is it over? OMG I need my fix!! *super spazzing*
    - Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
    - New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
    - When will we get new content? QQ
    - Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
    - I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.
    - *Incessant poking on Sweetiebot* Fun~

    Here's some good advice for you... Skip the swamp quests... Do BH's daily untill you get other quests that aren't in the swamps... Also if you're a veno your pets will get unsummoned in the waters...

    ^ I had my herc around that time and was so friggen excited, then I realized it was just easier to grab some hp pots(no crab meat back then) and just rail on everything with the pet stowed since he wasn't doing much anyway -.-
    I can see what you see not,
    Vision milky, then eyes rot.
    When you turn, they will be gone,
    Whispering their hidden song.
    Then you see what cannot be,
    Shadows move where light should be.
    Out of darkness, out of mind,
    Cast down into the Halls of the Blind.

    the swamp wasn't that bad with this veno, just had to remember to pull everything onto dry land before tanking it. if anything the swamps were slow, due to all the pulling. (still haven't dug up that demon kettle thing, either, that one's just annoying.)

    There is definitely a damage reduction when upclose against mobs on an Archer.
