Archer's accuracy

Why archers miss so much? At least that happens to me... I miss a lot mobs which I get over 98% hit rate... Actually, to be honest, I already missed the snowmen from event, rams and horses (mobs which I suppose have 100% hit rate). It is rare to kill one mob not missing at least once... I already missed 3 times in a row. I got an Unicorn thinking on missing less, and even with over 5k accuracy I still miss a lot =/
And not to mention missing 50-100 evasion robe users...
Is that just me?


(I remenber seeing a thread about this subject like 3 months ago, but by that time I was lv 10 and just ignored it and now I could not find it again...)

    lol I miss a lot of people too ( even robe classes -.-) and that with 3.2k accuracyb:surrender. It happens sometimes depends on your luck, it's just like with crit i have 26% crit rate and i was grinding, i didn't crit for over 5minsb:angry

    I think we miss because we have to make so many shots. Your chance for missing once, if you shoot ten times with "98% accuracy", will be somewhere between 14% and 22%.

    In other words, 98% would be your "hit chance" for one shot. And 98% can mean anything between 97.5% and 98.5%. But even if you hit once you can miss with your next shot.

    but since archers have high dmg they dont need a lot of shots to kill a mob/person. as few shots as they need + highest dex class in the game, archers shouldn't hardly ever miss

    I long for the day when an Archer class in any game gets to use an assault rifle as a weapon....Just putting it out there.

    where it gets booboo is when u miss an important shot, like sharpened tooth on a boss. 15s later and its not very relevant anymore.

    honestly i think the shots that take channeling need to not miss...aim for 4s and whoops!

    accuracy and evasion is an irrelevant number on the monsters action window. monsters that have 100% evasion have hit me before, and level 110 mobs with 1% hit i've done damage to before(poking bosses is fun..).

    snowmen has done damage to me before. and i've missed more than 8 shots in a row that that bow i was using. complete bs. the real hit rate, no matter what it says, is 50%. i don't care if you have 10,000 accuracy, you have a 50% chance to miss. 9x archer missed a stun shot and his deadly shot on me.

    I think the archers miss is the target's hit rate and evasion. If you get a lot of dex just for the accuracy then I understand. IT happens because if you let the archer not miss for the whole time then it's unbalanced and seems a bit unfair with the melee characters.
