*levels an archer*
if you want to hear the real story, go read the archer qq's on www.critshot.com - proper info from the proper archers, not the fotm rollers
Thought your subs had run out megameight?
Or is this gonna make you renew?
Only played against them on US servers so far.
As a solo 50 savage they took me down easily since i have no defence against them, although if i just ran in the opposite direction then i was always ok. Only when i went for them they got me :<
As a 50 healer (only grouped obv) i barely even noticed them shooting me. They're overall DPS is pretty crappy unless theres a whole load of them assisting and the miss rates are just laughable
As a caster i wasnt really phased since after they'd critshot me i could just quickcast while the rest of their shots bounce off my bladeturn, brittle guards or they just miss. Although when playing healer near a seige zerg it can be annoying when 3-4 archers instafrag a caster in the group.
The only thing is at the start of the patch everyone and their mate was playing an archer so a load of them together will practically drop you instantly and everyone cries nerf. But in normal circumstances i dont think theyre anything to be afraid of.
Well doesnt sound too bad, but 2 archers assisting on critshot on cloth caster is surely just about instadeath most of the time?
Assuming they don't miss.
And only on a solo caster, a grouped caster will almost always have DI. (And if they don't kick your healer.)

The critshot is truly an alpha strike. It does decent damage (but less than before), but it gives you a few seconds to react, simply because it doesn't break your Bubble/Brittle.
I'll dust Tesla off once it arrives - haven't had the urge to play much DAOC lately, other than the skald in the set group. There's not many archers left, so I don't think they'll ever be a real issue for grouped casters on Dyvet.
We'll see. 1.88 as it is right now is a broken patch. There's plenty of bugs left that went live. :/

I saw a 1.88 Us ranger video , and the guy just own everything with 1 critical shot and 1 point blank shot !
no but new crit shot has to fired from stealth hence you can only fire it once in a standard fightI didn't realise crit shot was on the same reuse timer as DI.
:
guess your hoping they fix the miss shot bug before we get it then firing 10 shot and hitting with 3 isnt fun and that with 50+16will re-equip mine and farm caster mongs until they log miserable.

side note pointblank shot rocks most archery class will use damage type shot PBS and crit shot with the odd long shot out off the 16 types of shot you get
From what i've read, RF does crap damage, so that was probably two PB shots.indeed.. archers are now more of a dps class.. my poor nightshade got 3 shotted by a scout, critshot, rf, rf.. critshot for 950ish and rf's for about 450..
together with speedsouts and soj ml lines, the archers survivability is extreme.
