    End game archers deal damage in order of:


    (1): Attack Speed
    (2): Critical Hits


    The demon path caters towards these two factors.

    (1): Quickshot (Attack speed)
    (2): Sharpened Tooth Arrow (Critical Hits)
    (3): Stunning Arrow (Critical Hits)
    (4): Take aim (Reduced Channelling - Attack Speed)
    (5): Bow Mastery (Critical Hits)
    (6): Winged Blessing (Critical Hits)
    (7): Barrage of Arrows (Attack speed)
    (8): Triple Spark (Attack Speed)


    It also gives better toys to work with:



    (1): Thundershock (Chance to stun)
    (2): Lightning Strike (Never misses)
    (3): Wingspan (level 5 winged shell casted with no chi cost)
    (4): Wings of Grace (Additional evasion)




    There are some sage skills - but most of it has to do with chi generation.


    Demon is one of the clear cut paths as it caters to method an archer uses to deal damage.


    We arent nukers - those are mages, clerics, and possibly psychics.

    We arent tankers - those are barbarians and possibly blademasters.

    We are high damage dealers - we deal exponentially more damage over time than any other class.


    To do this, critical and attack rate are key.





    In fact, demon archers are often soo proficient at dishing out damage that they often have to hold back to avoid getting themselves killed.

    +1
    aim low has a chance to stun (both effect independent of each other.. U could imobilize n stun or just stun or imobilize)
    thundershock seals, doesn't stun

    I'm a Sage.

    A Sage Wizard, but I still love to skew polls.

    Yeah, it's me. Don't read to much into it, though; I'm only here for myself now, killin' time and chillin' when need-be. So sue me. Tch...

    Anyone seen this thread?

    Sage archers getting a spammable crit bonus skill that gives more crit than any demon archer skill.
    Admittedly there is no aps skill bonus for sage but this could tip the tide?

    I'm sage. I find the debuffs and status effects more effective and STA pretty much turns into a skill similar to deadly shot or take aim.

    Sometimes I do wish i went demon. Hopefully if the new skill expansions come out i'll be a little more satisfied.

    I think 3 years ago people couldn't possibly have heard of skill rebalancing coming probably in 2013.

    Way to go, necroing an ancient thread to talk about something that doesn't even exist now and most certainly didn't then. Nice.
    Proving that not only archers do math since 2009. b:victory

    Sage Archer b:surrender (with 520 dex,pure dex)

    The different between sage and demon in few words is playstyle,

    demon=solo crit aps class (PVP)

    sage=debuff class (PVE)

    LOL... I guess someone is still stuck in 2008.
    1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
    2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
    3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.

    I feel like my server has a high sage archer pop. That might just be me though. It is definitely alot more even than it used to be though.

    Even with the update... for those undergeared... demon is and will continue to be the better and mindful choice. The extra stun will not matter much in the big picture. Crit will be useless if you aren't dealing any damage to begin with. It'll probably be somewhat of an annoyance when i get hit by vow more often now. And awaken... nice extra triple spark when you are on the floor. And if any of the wannabe sages ever dots me... you already lost the battle.

    Even with the update, for Kiyoshi, this is only an excuse to regale us with the same opinion we could already find in every thread ever written in this subforum.

    Demon Wingspan + Shell > sage culti.

    Not really sure how you worked either of these out.
    Care to explain?
