The Complete, Detailed Archer's Skill List

[Teiji25]

As we all know, the skill's description ingame is very vague, unhelpful, and sometimes misleading. So I wanted to create a more DETAILED skill list. This is so I can understand more of the skills, and it might be helpful for others too.

Feel free to correct or suggest anything, and if it's good, I'll modify the list.

STATUS: Complete for now.

WOW!! Excellent job my friend!!! This will help me a lot on my scout / archer thanks for taking the time and sharing this with us.

[SiL3NCe]

Not 100% sure on stone edge, but on monsters it does have that chance to slow them down but in return it increases their defense ASWELL as their attack. On players im about 80% sure that if they get the 'stone effect' they don't recieve the defense or attack bonus a monster would recieve in that state. Will need to test.

Also i think it might be phantom arrow, but when it is casted, and the monster/player takes its effect, once the bleeding is over the target fails to heal naturally for awhile, possible abour 30 seconds after bleeding has worn off. Also needs to be tested and checked, if it isn't phantom arrow it might be either poison arrow or siphon.

But overall, very good thread Teiji, im sure many people will praise you for your hard work and detailed analyse of the archer branch class :)

Kudos to you~

Tested on Cursed Storm at Turmeit. It doesn't increase its attack after being slowed by Stone Edge.

Tested. You are correct. They don't receive DEF or ATTK bonus.

Also i think it might be phantom arrow, but when it is casted, and the monster/player takes its effect, once the bleeding is over the target fails to heal naturally for awhile, possible abour 30 seconds after bleeding has worn off. Also needs to be tested and checked, if it isn't phantom arrow it might be either poison arrow or siphon.

You are right. Siphon, Poison Arrow, and Phantom Arrow cause the natural healing to heal about 3-5 sec later than it usually heal.

Thanx for pointing those out. Those skills are updated.

i play my archer from time to time >_>

[hybridintellect]

Nice I need all the help I can get for my scout/archer. Thanks

[bakuyaa]

Last judgment is the skill I'm most excited about because in my eye most of the archer skills are useless with the exception of just a few. Anyway I wonder what Last Judgment really does because I don't wanna bring my hopes up and have it crashing down because it will turn out to be one of the many skills I rarely use.

P.S~ Great post! keep up the good work ^^. I wonder if you will consider making a guide to pvp for archers!

[sedfvgt]

wow you guys are super overpowered, i think i wanna make an archer :D

I was like you too--looking forward to Last Judgment back then. But when rider used it on me, it wasn't all that good...sorta like how I felt about Marked Point. However, when rider used Sniper Shot on me, the damage was like O.o . Gonna ask him to use the skills again when I get the chance.

About the PVP guide, I'm not a pro pvper myself. I haven't dueled with all the classes and still need more PVP experiences, so I don't wanna embarrass myself.

[siruschaos]

Nice skill guide Teiji, have a cookie since rep cannot be added. xD

If you don't mind (and since it got requested on the fighter forums), I'll probably make a skill guide for the fighter ranks (though wanted to master all skills up to warrior before doing so) going along the ideal lines how yours is. Again, nice work! :cool:

Sure, go ahead. I'd be glad if you do. :)

Originally I wanted to make a skill list for all classes, but I realized that I haven't play those classes, so how can I do that lol. So in the end, I just stick with the class I know best.

[SiL3NCe]

Tested on Cursed Storm at Turmeit. It doesn't increase its attack after being slowed by Stone Edge.

Hmm im sure it does increase their attack Teiji, bak wen i was able to aoe Inkwell, i stoned one of those wooly mobs n it was slow, all the mobs were hittin me 1 and 2, but the slow one was hitting me 8.

Let me advise try stonning a mob for someone aoeing. If that doesn't work, then they might of fixed it without me realising ^^;

Once again kudos on the well compiled list, keep up the hard work.

[EDIT] - About Overtrick, when rider was casting it on us in pvp, it seems like it doesn't wear off naturally, but requires a few hits [unsure amount] on the target before its effects cancel, I don't take credit for this cause i can't remember who pointed it out >.<

[tengokuken]

2 words: Good Job!!! :)

I will test Stone Edge again when I have time. About Overtrick and other Ranger skills, I think I'll leave them alone until someone actually learn it and test it to be sure.

[dylanangel]

Sorry it took me a while to get this stickied for you Teiji but there ya go and fantastic work on this :)

[Teiji25]

Thank you for the stickied dylan. :)

[Necronomicron]

nice list ^^

Silence, I've tested Stone Edge again--not with the help of an aoer because I feel that it's not needed. I let a monster attack me about 20 times to see the range of minimum and maximum damage before Stoned. And I did the same after it got slowed by Stone Edge. I found the same range of minimum and maximum damage. Therefore, I concluded that Stone Edge doesn't give monsters the bonus attack.

Whether it got fixed or was not there in the first place, I don't know. But I did several tests and got the same results, so I'm sticking with my conclusion.

Ok Teiji, im quite sure it must of been fixed, but thanks anyway ^^

Nice list. O:

[bobalitos]

dude i know you retired but i just want to note that stone edge DOES increase the attack of monster. Tested it while aoeing in odalisque or w.e that map is called.

[hellkissez]

wow ty! this will help me :)!

[prewdaug]

what are the best stats to put on a scout/archer especially at around 25? Someone said to put all my stats in power and stamina, is that true?

[wardomic]

The guides in these forums are for Secret of the Solstice, and were designed for such where the lowest level scouts are 45. Since you said around lvl 25 I will assume you are referring to Solstice: Reborn. Please go to the Reborn forums for information regarding that game.

To save you some trouble regarding Reborn Archer stats tho it would be best to go with Pure Agi for now.
