      Spark - use in combination with blaze to hit godly damage on barbs that are impossible to kill

      Lightning chaser - interrupting enemy's ultis i.e BIDS, BT, Arma, BoA

      Thunderstorm - use in conjuction with Thunder Shock debuff on melee targets

      Alpha Male - Popping sins in stealth

      @ First. That still wont kill a full r9 +12 JOSD barb.

      @ Second. Valid point but wont need.

      @ Third. Isn't that what Thundershock / Lightning Strike are for?

      @ Fourth. Since when did alpha knock sins out of stealth short of Earthquake or an AoE effect.

      Feels like troll post.

      With demon blaze + fire apoth you have a better chance

      Is needed when wiz sleep -> ulti. Shorter CD than AD

      TS/LS/TB isn't enough. CD are too long to be chained. Also some targets i.e sins have DN on which means you often need an additonal hit after DN ticks

      Its AoE bigger than Earthquake's

      ignoring first and inquiring about the others taking you on a somewhat serious note then.

      @2. playstyle i guess.

      @3. What sin takes more then 3 hits to kill even with DN?

      @4. Since when did an Agro threat cause an aoe to pop sins.

      Thunder shock -> charm tick, LS -> crit kill, DN triggers sin on 20% HP -> thunder storm -> dead. It's also instant.

      @4 it just does, don't ask me why or how, it pops sins.

      Hm.

      Usually its. TS -> DN triggers LS-> Dead sin.

      most archers have ~30-40% crit rate. Unless the said archer is R9 (which is the minority) then it is far more likely to not tick DN.

      Thats layered with heavy sarcasm for someone complaining about troll post!

      On a plus note she is actually giving good advice so if you ask for the advice in the 1st place i advise taking it!

      Its layered with doubt. I doubt things that don't have a justifiable reasoning behind them that I can understand. Like Alpha popping sins out of stealth. That logic still doesnt make sense. ( ill have to test it for myself)

      Given that I'd still it's pretty likely that it's an extreme dex/crit build and thus will not have the attack levels of R9. This means that unless they crit, which is less likely than not critting, the said archer probably will not be one shotting any sins that could pose a problem.

      Thunderstorm is an OK genie skill if u have that much energy left and want to confirm a kill.

      As an archer in PK, u want to be able to land your skills and autos. In order to do that u will need to be not stunned, not silenced, not slept => AD, fortify, elemental immunes, expel, holy path.

      For the rest go for w/e u like or can get faith, EP, enrage, thunderstorm, windshield etc.

      Versus HA armors, ur main concern is to deal enough damage to kill them. For that goal keep the target sharptoothed and kite it till it uses her last survival skill (AD, Apot, barb turtle, last stance etc ..).

      The hardest fight will be VS barbs with their ability to tank and deal high damage with gof crits / arma. But you can counter them pretty easily because they have to be human form to deal damage.
      Leaps are virtually 15 sec cooldown so is stun arrow ... There u can execute perfect kiting =)

      Versus LA armors arcanes, ur main concern is to survive their biggest combo. There comes the elemental resistance which are cheap in use and very effective. Just use it =)

      Versus sins u just need to counter their main combo with AD and attack right back with chain metal, wingspan, winged pledge. Here I can see a use for thunderstorm genie skill why not.

      In fact most classes will usually attack with their own same pattern, u just need to know that pattern, counter it with gear/skill/genie and attack right back. Then they will QQ and cry b/c purge is OP etc .. :D

      Im pretty sure leaps are 35 sec cooldown not 15 secs.

      It does, happens to me quite often if I'm not careful. I used it for a while myself as an extra defensive method if I wasn't sure, being only 101 it's better to be safe than sorry.
