At higher lvs (60+) how many mobs can a pure dex archer kill before they reach 0 mp (say they dont have an mp charm on).

    this highly depends on the archer
    a frugal grinder archer 60+ with a good/decent weapon using winged shell+take aim occasional frosts, if he encounters few increased defense(lightening attacks help here a lot ) can use <5 mana potions an hour, on a good streak its possible to use none, this is with good equips(high dex, good attack, preferably some -interval), using frost arrow more an archer will use some pots
    some archer use winged shell very little more frost arrow and use charms, although they take a week or so to burn through one(mana)

    so basically most archers dont use much mp on average? oh and PS. do archers just use winged shell to regain mp even if theyre on a mob they can kill without being touched

    Even a **** 7 year old kid can play a BM. Do the world a favor and remove this section of the forums. im tired of seeing all the filth posted about BMs. And to all you fail people that cant roll a real class uninstall the game we dont need anymore idiots.

    PS: I don't acknowledge a blademaster as a class but as a sharpening tool on my phoenix's beak. I love killing BMs when noobs dont have the charms for the bleed, and whenever i see a BM in white name you bet your **** i kill itb:cute.

    oh and to all you ******* that payed 5-7m for calamity axes for pixels LOL. Have fun doing **** damage when genies come out I <3 the GMs for hating blademaster idiots as much as i do.

    peace out noobs.

    Yes, archers can get by without much mana!

    I still have 20k MP on my bronze charm from when I last fought in TW (a couple weeks ago). Most of this burn has been when I am squadded, because I get distracted then.

    But I only have 22 of my supply stash mana potions left.

    With a +3 MP regen armor (lucky) and recovery from a cleric (usually grind with one) I use 0-7 pots for every 60 mobs depending if i got ambushed or not.

    I play my Archer skill heavy and burn Charm + Pots while playing, kills are fast but I think I might be just throwing my money away, I might go try some of the tactics other people have sugested,

    How much slower is the killing when we drop our skills for normal hits?

    Our normal hits are the best way to kill them. Skills take too long when 2 normal shots could have been fired. a crit normal + normal ~= skill crit (With deadly shot/take aim, 3 shots could have been fired)

    the damage is similar so normal is best cause it saves MP

    Oh please spare me Mr. high and mighty WR. b:shocked

    I guess that's why me and several other EAs I know pwn WRs with 2 or 3 shots. b:chuckle Do us all a favor, STFU & GTFO unless you have something intelligent and constructive to say n00b.

    I use one or two skills on most monsters and if I do not take time picking up drops and moving between monsters, my knockback arrow does not cool down fast enough to be used on every kill.

    Honestly, I think my effective damage is a bit low right now, because I get hit by maybe one monster in 10 (for example, when I miss several times and also get no critical hits). But I wear good healing gear when I fight monsters, so I can afford some sloppiness. If I had better mana regen gear, or no MP charm, I would probably be using an additional skill to make up for my so-so damage and my occasional misses.

    However, when I was lower level I remember timing my fights based on my winged shell cooldown.
