Wings of grace is actually quite a nice shield for archers, and so is that winged shell skill.Neither of which has a real nasty side effect that goes along with it.

No archers use Winged shell because it is ****. It takes 45 chi and disappears with the smallest hit. That's because it's not based on the HP of the player and is tuned for the HP of a level 90 archer. Compare that to similar chi-using defensive skills like cleric plume shell or veno blazing barrier and it's a joke.

The damage decrease of Wings of Grace is 30% for a 1spark skill.
cleric guardian light is 60% for 1 spark
veno bramble hood is 75% for 2 spark
barb invoke is 90% for 2 spark
Psychics can immune to all physical damage for 1 spark

For a spark using skill it's nothing special. The antistun of that skill used to be somewhat special but these days casters all get access to much easier chi-less antistun on their R999 weapons.

Even with only 4000 accuracy you still have a >96% chance to hit (1 in 25 shots miss). When you are buffed with focused mind casters "miss" 7 times as often (8 times as often with sage focused mind).

The in-game maximum accuracy is 95%. I agree focused mind is an effective form of evasion.

Agreeed on every bit of it, albeit on my archer in pve i find i use that winged shell from time to time to claw something to death. RAWR. I guess I stand corrected that its a nice skill for archers, but still with their range... chances are far more likely that they'll be fighting back long before any melee could.

In pvp while I havne't been in pvp on it much at all maybe all of 5 minutes I still wouldnt use it to shield myself, attack power ftw. RAWR
