      Judging from Creeep's first post, I'd say he simply sucks playing an archer. That's all I have to say about it.

      Why would you use Sharpened Tooth Arrow on a mob?

      Do you want the mob to move at normal speed and reach you?
      Do you want to aggro the mobs around it?
      #1 because mobs in FB89, 99, and the higher TTs have tons of HP. archers do it all the time?

      #2 it wont aggro them if youre smart enough to time it, herc/barb would be getting hit hard enough for the reflect to keep aggro if they had bramble on.

      #3then you assist target the tank after it wears off, maybe use fists or something and give him a chance to build aggro, then goto arrows :|

      Not to mention that it doesn't matter too much what level you are, STA is AoE and therefore can and will aggro multiple mobs.

      And besides, STA is lvl 49, whereas Frost Arrow is lvl 9.
      If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

      Everyone wants to be different, but when you're different you wish you were normal.

      well you are only 60, youll find much more use for it at about 75+ when you start to do the higher TTs, RB gamma, higher FBs etc.most of the mobs have like 200k+ hp and it makes life way faster.

      Of course. But what are you going to use for those 76 levels that it takes for your STA to be useful? And what are you going to do when you're solo grinding mobs? What about before you get STA? Frost Arrow is a really good soloing opening because it slows down the movement speed for 5.0 seconds at the highest level, which means you can get 2 attacks and a Knockback Arrow in before the effect wears off. If you happen to have Wind and the Clouds and Bracers of Blood Moon, you can get away with 3 attacks before Knockback Arrow.

      Also, STA suffers from a 15 second cooldown, which makes it very time inefficient in solo grinding.

      So basically you are encouraging all new players to farm 40+ millions? I think that would make them want to quit rather than keep going.

      Is this an attempted QQ thread? FYI there are other classes, and I know plenty of archers who are very good, very nice, and very happy with their character.

      In fact, archers are probably the best at PvP (followed by venos); don't believe me about that? Read Totale's Study: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=343412

      im not talking about it for solo leveling genius, im talking about using it in instances, where it makes everything faster. if you took the time to read my posts, where in instances archers become DD, i havent spoken a thing about leveling, just instances and bosses.

      when a herc or brambled barb has a few mobs, wait a sec, STA. is that so hard to comprehend?

      when youre in RB gamma, and a wave is coming, before you start barrage, let off STA. you only need it when the bulk of the wave is there.

      when youre fighting a boss, STA at the beginning of the fight, wait a few seconds for it to wear off, then DD.

      its not rocket science, and i dont need to be lectured on nooby archerism leveling techniques that have nothing to do with what im saying.

      Oh come on, you're simplifying the game into squad instances? With that logic, Archers have no purpose before lvl 77. That's even worse than the 20+ millions for a Herc on Venomancers.

      And besides, the topic, if any, looks to be about new players, not those in their high 80s.

      If you call grinding a purpose then I suppose there is one...

      Or if you want to PK that could be two.

      But otherwise...Archers really have no purpose prior to their 70s (instances)

      ... It's just the game telling you to use a refined Sinister Shooter.

      aw **** no! penetrator was what? 7mil or something stupid when i was at the lvl to use it...

      and by the time supply stash was out, i was in my 7x using W&C, so i got the longbow from the stash purely to expect to look awesome and see what the pierce effect looked like. well...that's not the whole truth, i got it to get to the subsequent supply prizes but but...gaa at least make it glow blue like any 3star would.

      the pierce effect looks awesome tho
