Why archers (and others) are really missing out...

**Loveless** · 01-09-2008, 04:57 AM

So I finally got to play on Bright Kingdom and... damn it the Archers are really missing out!!

First off... since the latest patch the bow has an attack rate of 0.9 seconds (I haven't been able to see the crossbows). That itself helps to kill mobs before it reaches you.

Next, Power and Aim Shots. Recast is 8 and 5 seconds (respectively) and the SP consumption too is lower. Fury Impact which causes poison damage in our version causes the enemy to be unable to move or attack for 2 seconds (max on duration is 5 seconds). We get this skill at 15.

Now the stats... I've gone a 2:1 STR:DEX build and... I have twice as much evasion as I have defense which is what it should be like for Archers. We're supposed to dodge attacks and I'm doing it very well.

Apparently for the Mages their Lightning or Ice stuns. I'm guessing Lightning but don't know for sure. Clerics get that HP buff (though small) at level 15.

I know Fiesta has only been out for a short period compared to BK but... the skills!! You can at least implement the right skills with the said effects. :/ Just had to get it out there... I might even quit my current character for this. >P

Did I also mention we have a wide range of character customization at the start?

EDIT: Here's the pic of my Archer.

Wahhh!! Why are we missing out so much!! I want archers to get the good skills too because my duo partner is an archer!! This is not fair!!! -insert more exclamation marks-

And cool! HP/SP buff at 15. Even though it's small, it's better than nothing! I get to feel useful at level 15!

I want.

Why are we being screwed over??? WHY?????

**Loveless** · 01-09-2008, 05:18 AM

Aaaand Crossbow attack speed is 1.2... which is a little slower than our current Bow speed by 0.1. O.o

Damn.

Omg. We got ripped off.

Yeah, mage lightning stuns. And anyone who plays a mage on outspark fiesta will cry when they see what the skill cooldowns are like for Bright Kingdom and Shine Online... (they're about 1/3rd as long to cooldown in general)

OH MY GOD your archer looks awesome! I love the hair!! Why don't we get that! -complains, complains and complains-

i knew it.... the jump from fire bolt can't be that much from 5 secs to 15sec.
although i'm have not played other classes b4, the case of fire bolt cooldown time already affects greatly how mages level.

The long cooldown time now forces mages to party, in an indirect way because its impractical to shroom every now and then.

Seriously if the game developers created mages to be tissue papers then the GMs should compensate by setting lower cooldowns on skills.

5/8 second cooldown ... SP decrease ... faster attack ...

Even the cooldown or fast attack alone would help soloing very much. There's so much that's missing in FO that is present in BK.
