I'm prolly nubzar of the week for this but.

When I watch TW vids, or ask high level archers about Take Aim they say it is a really good skill.

Is it really? On the archers guide it says that it isn't that usefull o_o

If it is usefull, can someone explain to my why? The channel time hardly seems worth the damage. I feel like i'd rather use deadly shot o.0

    in mid levels it's better to go with Deadly Shot, but at higher level when your weapons do a lot more damage, then the 300% weapon damage boost will be your best friend.

    deadly shot is better until 89, leave take aim at 1 till then and hold the hotkey down to gain chi fast ;)
    I like to rub it in. Enjoying the game?

    Call me cheap if you want, but Deadly Shot costs alot of spirit that could be spent elsewhere. So I just went with Take Aim lv10.

    It's a great opener, it's indeed useful in PvP since you can shorten it (whereas Deadly Shot isn't really.. you could do so much more during those 3 seconds of casting), and even at lv10 you can use it for chi, 100 mp isn't -that- much.

    Deadly shot does more damage until you have a high level well refined weapon.
    The only way to win is to quit. b:bye

    lol and take aim is better at 90+ not 89, why waste take aim during a spark, at 90+ your generally using a higher grade wep, and (demon take-aim is 400% weapon damage and only 2.5 sec channel) great for 1 shotting squishies in TW

    Pretty much what I do. I use it as my opener when grinding on ranged/magic mobs, to build chi for Winged Shell. Between Take Aim, Knockback, and Winged Shell, I can usually grind indefinitely with maybe 50-100 HP damage per mob and no net mana usage. Against magic mobs especially, Take Aim -> couple normals -> Winged shell when they start channeling -> normals until dead works great. Maybe throw a knockback in there against increased life or defense, or if I miss.

    Demon take aim is +400% weapon attack.
    Lvl 10 deadly shot is 100% of weapon damage plus 4986.6.

    When your level + average weapon damage + garnet shards in your weap + damage from your rings is > 1662, demon take aim is better on the average.

    For sage take aim the break even point is at 1246 weapon attack.

    Demon cross over point is roughly a +5 tt90 xbow. Sage is roughly a +4 tt90 or a +7 tt80. If you don't have those go for lvl 10 deadly.

    Its a good skill if you use it to ambush someone, but not good in the middle of combat

    This in PvE right? Or u run from robe users?



    DS is awesome to **** robes till 89. TA is awesome 89+ (if u have the lvl 11 skill especially sage one). Before this is mainlly something to build chi fastb:surrender since it does crappy dmg and its useless in pvp.

    You can do a quick release take aim by holding the key on the keyboard, it will fire faster than a normal arrow, and give you 15 chi, and you can do it every 3 seconds. it's the best archer skill imo
