Erm Gxx tried to kill me all the time aswell and only managed 1 out of 5 when I were buffed. He never used full range except for when he were shooting through houses.

So you plan on seeing a luri archer who's out of your /face and last attacker range fast? GL with that...

I don't face the problem in detecting luri rangers when they are oor and even if hide somewhere.Happened once to detect Gxx shooting from the guardian near the bridge in cotswold :p

Erm well the issue were to find them fast...Not just to find them.
I used to land my lifetap before i got the 3rd arrow(1rst one into bt).That means i won even red/purple conn'd archers really often.If i get difficulties in detecting then i can run out of his range.It's easy to see the directon of archer by looking at arrows in my ass.

yeah its the same with sorcs

when they mezz and get maximum range they cast 1 lifetap and you run opposite direction. that way they only get 1 cast

You said you always play unbuffed, which means that you got less than 1k hp. Even with 40 in bow archers has a chance to do 75% dmg while your bt goes down. So if that were to happen I can't see why a green con bd would still be alive after the third arrow. There's no way you can see the direction of the arrows before you've been shot twice. So even with lagstrafe and all, how're you planning to get inside range 1500 before the third arrow? It's easy enough at lower lvls but that changes when your facing a lvl 50 archer...I've based most of this on my own experience, since a lvl 43 bd requires less dmg to get killed compared to a 50 chanter...

How can it be the same when archers got stealth?

Just ignore him. He might go away.

it was kinda vague but my point was when an archer shoots you, you can tell where it came from

when a sorc mezzes a tank he gets maximum range usualy. if thats the case and im on my paladin i run the opposite direction, the reason being he only gets 1 lifetap maybe 2 off.

ofc this only works when you have building etc to block his line of sight

First arrow from an archer, even if it penertrates your BT, you're unable to f9 /face or see the arrow....

yeah spot on, i seem to have an uncanny knack to find archers very quick. i played a ranger to lvl 34 so although im no leet lvl 50 i have a rough idea ofd where archers will shoot from
