12 Jan Marine vs BloodBath TW

Boartracker - Raging Tide

Thank you, BloodBath members, for another epic TW and crystal race. The first hour, you all had our crystal more damaged than yours. You all fought hard the 2 hours with skill and honor. We had fun the whole TW and hope you all did as well.

Lag + Fraps caused Fraps to crash with only 3 blocks from the start usable, so this is the abbreviated version. I added in some audio clips from my Faction/ Command vent to spice it up a bit. (Noted that with Fraps off that lag was at least manageable.)

Is that N2 bow, the lunar version? I saw it proc spirit blackhole but the dmg was kinda more than I would expect from N2 bow. Is it +10 or smth?

Boartracker - Raging Tide

The all white bow is a T3 Lunar +10 (G16,) the debuff bow is an R8 recast +8 (G15.) (Black Hole took 12 rerolls to get on the R8R.) I use Faction Base level 3 arrows and Moria runes with both bows. The R8R also uses Attack Charms. With the Jones Blessing, I have 70 atk levels with the T3 which helps on damage; but, no debuff. (The difference in damage is noticeable between the bows.) The bows are on my hot keys and can be switched instantly, even while shooting.

My armor is only Nirvy T2 +5, imac shards, atm for the set bonus while I get Basic Badges for the T3 gear. I die a lot to the higher levels and group attacks. I'm a pure Dex archer with Dex north of 500 and unable to use fists/ claws. (Mag & Vit are both 3 in White.) While opponents Gung Fu is very good, my Dead Demon Archer technique is to deal as much damage as possible before I die. Sometimes it works.

Aaah, figures, I only watched the bow occasionally and it was the white one. T3 lunar has the same skin as T2 and as T3 cant have purge, I thought you must be using T2 one. Just, the damage was pretty much more than I expected such bow to deal, lol. Note to self, keep eye on bow swapping.

I see you're a Barb. I had some help in a TW with War with HF from a BM. The damage even shocked me on a crit hit. Archers don't usually bother Barbs that much from what I've seen. The debuff is nice if it procs when there aren't any Venos around helping.

Actually I started archo with barb, quit few times and I mostly play G16+11 sin nowdays, least the wep is that high! =p I got archer too, not really feeling like leveling him till I can pop R999 on him. I started game on DW as archer, been missing archer for years now on archo <.<.

Well, I had head about the Blade Tornado. That was my 1st experience in seeing it. I may be a slow learning Marine; but, lession was learned and I've done research on it now. Maybe I could just walk away from him next time I do thank you for pointing that out tho. My faction is a learning faction with players as low as 70 now. We play for fun and try to learn how to TW . Some of us just need to learn more. b:chuckle

b:thanks

I'm learning slowly, Spell I always heard that an archer's job was to deal damage. Even when I get to T3, I'll still be squish compared to the R9RRR players. I figure the weapons for damage come first so that is what I've been working on. I think my gear may be getting close to todays TW entry level for an archer.b:thanks

I also have more help in squad. As a good male, I have new "direction" in squad for better play. I'll post a squad member's video to show you why I'm getting better. She runs a tight ship with just her voice.

Halo's video

Actually, we've all been having a lot of fun in TWs, win or loose. We're close enough to BloodBath for even matches and they're good people as well. I wish everyone could have as much fun as we do.

Archer's can be a fun change of pace. I have a 102 sin member who is playing an archer now and really enjoying him. He also has a blast in TW on him. I even have a lvl 63 Wizzie in a faction that I took to TW at lvl 55. Got to record that video and had fun staying alive. The Wizzie is a pleasant change to my archer.

Don't miss out on the fun of the game. b:victory

Thank sir Boar and to all the Marines for yet another epic and fun TW. Thanks too for your weekly effort in posting and sharing videos and your gracious words to BB. Always a pleasure battling with you guys, win or lose. Like you would always say, Salute. b:thanks
