    The General Bow Guide
    by Norcelia

    In the following i will tell you as much as i can about Archers (Bow), that i have gathered over the past year of playing my main character "Spirit".
    This is not a Build Guide, nor can i give any accurate information about Bowguns.
    All numbers are calculated by me and may be wrong by a little.
    I hope this Thread will help you at least a little ^^"
    .
    .
    Bows have usually a higher Crt Rate and accuracy than Guns.
    Bows can have longer Combos since they have in general a higher Stability.
    *yet some bosses have a horrible dmg drop per skill --> try shorter combos
    (Masked Warrior, Pillar Golem just to name two)

    Auto Attack Range is 10m and 12m with Desert Mentum

    Proration:
    Every boss build up a certain resistance against an Attack which has been used consecutive.
    There is 3 types of Attacks.
    Physical Skill, Magic, Auto Attack.

    I suggess to do 2-3 Auto attacks in between the combos so you can avoid a high dmg drop of your combos.
    Party up with mages. They prorate very good for you.
    If there is a party of 4 Physicals or 4 Mages everyone usually notices a pretty fast skill dmg drop

    About Stat Points:
    1 STR = 1 ATK
    1 INT = 3 MATK =0,1 MaxMP = 0,1 MATK
    1 AGI = 3 ASPD = 1 CSPD = 2 FLEE
    1 DEX = 2,3 ATK = 1 MATK = 1 HIT = 3 CSPD

    About Skills:
    ArcherSkills2.jpg ArcherSkills.jpg
    About Combos:
    • Paralysis Shot ALso increases Stability for a short time.
    • Snipe always hits if target is blinded --> maybe a smoke+snipe combo?
    • p shot crts more if target is slow (might be good to know)
    • Maybe try to stay 8m+ away from the mob --> Higher dmg --> try to use sneak attack in a combo
    Other maybe useful Ranged Skills (Comboable):
    • Sonic Wave 100MP (Martial Tree)
    • Bless 100Mp > Gloria 100Mp (Priest Tree)
    • Quick Aura uses 15% MaxHP (Halbert Tree)
    • Impact 200Mp and halfs MP of followig skill (Mage Tree)
    • Sunrise Arrow 200MP (Hunter Tree)
    • Protection > Aegis 300MP (Shield Tree)

    About Combo Tags:

    Smite:
    increase dmg by 50% and lessens following skill by 50% if there is no following skill it will cost the double MP.
    Swift: Makes Animation speed faster
    Tenacity: Uses HP instead of MP if there is no MP left. The higher the Hp cost is the less dmg it will do.
    Mind's Eye: Skill doesn't activate if the monster has a resistance against it's inflict.
    Consecutive: Decreases Skill MP usage the further it in the combo is.
    But it decreases the dmg too.
    Expl. Opener>skill(cons) -100MP used, -10% dmg >skill(cons)-200MP used, -20% dmg> skill(cons) -300MP, -30%dmg>...
    Save: The Skill "saves" (put on a bank) the MP it would use for the following skills. If the saved MP is not fully used up after the last skill in the combo, it will get used up if MP is left.
    Save tag also decreases the dmg of the following skills.

    Expl. Opener>400MP skill (save) (400MP on the bank), -80% dmg> 100MP skill (-100MP on bank->300MP left), -60% dmg>200MP skill (-200MP on bank->100MP left), -40%dmg>100MP skill (-100MP on bank->0MP left)
    *this combo example would only use the Opener's MP


    Arrows:
    There is Arrows for each Element except Light. (the right Elements give a dmg boost of approximately 25% AWESOME!)
    Arrow usually come with a additional 20% stability boost (can have less or more)
    Arrows have a good variety of Stats and can be very useful.
    *I personally use Elementals, and for light and neutral I use Mirthril Arrow

    4th January 2017.
    Have fun building your Bow Archer.
    Hope this Thread helps a little. owo)/

    great =(^.^)=

    i wonder why no one likes Arrow Rain...
    4 hits with a 2x multiplier is 8x damage, the same as Spiral Air and other 3mp skills, and it can hit multiple targets :3

    It hits the spot where the mob was standing when u started casting. If there is a boss moving out of that area it basically just poofs XD
    (it only hits one mob once every tick)
    *it has a longer animation time than other skills too. Similar to snipe

    but the stability is lower so it has a chance to hit higher but in general it won't hit with its full potential. ^^

    Mentum has 55% stability iirc and I think the same base atk as ice bow (60% stability) so mentum is good if you want to auto attack from a further distance but the aggro-20% stat won't do much tbh (better get Sneak Attack)

    Does cast speed reduce the cast time on snipe and power shot

    Snipes charge time is reduced by lvling it to 10.
    Power shots charge time can be reduced by swift tag.
