I recently went to fiestaonline.net...and I was looking through all the lvl 110 skill and then found the lvl 110 or 120 classes...and I find out that all those amazing skills at 110 are being split up!! D: we wont get every skill we need....this really really sucks!! but is it right? will we get half and half or will xbow and bow users get to use these amazing skills!?! I praaayyy that we get to both use them.....

04-03-2009, 08:46 PM
Or we might get all those skills at 110 and get differen't skills from 120 and above.....then again the discription contradicts my theory....=.-

New skills at 110 never made sense to me when the job change is supposedly at 120. I don't know what to think now.

04-03-2009, 11:44 PM
nobody knows... i think its just a mistake of fiestaonline and that the 110 skills need to be lv. 120. and yes, they will split up. the discription of the classes says so.

They will. Rangers can hide, blind, and disarm. Sharpshooters entangle detect and the hit target out of range skill. I think both class's will be getting utmost arrow. Just cause i want you guys to :o

Well Rangers get hide and entrap, that's the only two the the class description points to. Sharpshooters get neutralize, blind shot, slow shot, and detect. I am also going to have to say that I believe that both get the distance buff. I remember seeing a person on BK fiesta with a crossbow and the distance buff. Everything else would just be speculation if I continued.

Actually if my info is correct. Hide lasts until you attack something, you are attacked (like you mistakenly walk into an AOE), or if a sharpshooter dispels it. 5 minute cool down doesn't have me worried. I'll just use Hide, then take those five minutes to use the restroom, wash my hands, and get some snacks. If my hide is deactivated BAM! put it on again.

It's a no contest decision for me.

1) Xbows don't look like junk on stick anymore.

2) I can sneak up on people and wait till they have 1hp left :D! For all the people I wrote down on my hit list. I seriously do have one.

3) If you are smart and preplan your attacks, setting bombs at the escape routes would be awesome.

4) Sharpshooter looks like he has jet packs on his shoulders.

5) Ranger has highest agility, and comes with END and SPR increase.

What more could you ask for? XD

Your gonna have to use chain cast to do that. My guess is Hide won't start cooling down till after you turn it off. That is how it is in every other game.

Another one of my guess is that if he knows where you are he can use whirlwind to break your hide 8D. Or if he is on top of you he can just find you but that would require the devs to go into making stealth levels and alot of other stupid stuff that would cramp up our comps so they will prob just stick with if you use an aoe on top of the stealth char stealth breaks.

Well the skill list says here that Rangers also get (Binding) Seals your opponent's movement.. Binding = No more Deva from Fighter you;ll keep them stopped on tracks,hehe Its a every annoying skill to have on you.. I hate when the NOX mobs land them on me..cant even move..sometimes cant even attk... During pvp all you have to do is (Bind) Seals movement = (Hide) Hides yourself = (Entrap)Entrap Set boobyTrap =(Utmost Arrow) BLAM!! Pwnd! Do I nice cool down on Bind skill you'll throw it like a Fighter throws Deva.. I think Bow users are gonna pwn,

goldhawk2
04-06-2009, 05:12 AM
ok so now im lost ._. you say ranger is the xbow user right? well on the fiestaonline.net website it says

Ranger: Rangers have incredibly fast agility. They can move extremely fast and unique skills. They can spy on the opponent and follow them secretly and even scout within the center of the monster crowds without being seen. Their endurance and spirit will increase that they can captivate their enemies and set booby traps everywhere. One demerit is that the booby trap land mine will explode, damaging both the enemies and allies.

when in the hell has the xbow been fast at anything :/

berselius
04-06-2009, 12:36 PM
Yes, it seems kind of counter-intuitive, but Sharpshooters get the power while Rangers get the dexterity. Oh well. My decision to stick with a bow has finally payed off :P

Dragonfly77
04-06-2009, 05:36 PM
Ranger is the crossbow user

But I've been wondering, to get the full power as an DD archer, most people go with the 25spr rest str build, or full str. But it sounds like ranger is for pve and sharpshooter is for pvp. And ranger uses crossbow, which most DD archers use.

I'm guessing that the slow, powerful crossbow is meant to balance the speed and lack of strength of the ranger, where as the weak, fast bow is to balance the power and lack of speed of the sharpshooter.

All I'm hoping for is that a 25 spr rest str build will go well with rangers. >.<;;

themichael
04-06-2009, 07:30 PM
25SPR full STR as a Ranger will make your ranger more balanced But you will lack the EVA most of them will have.

Yes, but SS do have really beast CDs. From what I see, SS will indeed have an advantage over rangers but archers finally get the defensive skills they crave ( SS do get more defensive skills over rangers but again, their CDs are just really not practical for something like PvP KQ). Guessing binding max CD will be 2/3s so it'll be around 40~ seconds. Although I am worried entrap will have a stupid limitation like it can only be set in hide mode or it has an epic casting time which will be interrupted if attacked. I want to drop my bombs on chasers D<

I was worried before that rangers wouldn't be getting the extra power skill they needed but now that both classes do get utmost coupled with the fact that xbows have a higher natural base damage will at least give rangers a fighting chance to not fall that much behind SS's 1v1 damage. But distance shot really does seem like an epic skill <_<. I really want to know how it really works. Does it just have more range or is it like, once you're locked onto someone it'll hit them. Because then that would be win 8D.

goldhawk2
04-07-2009, 04:08 PM
I hope you can get a second chance ._. or something....because I really dont wanna end up goin with the xbow (like I have always been before) and then it completely sucks compared to the sharpshooters skills :/ they do honestly get alot of the better skills....I just hope EVERYTHING is balanced....between branches and other classes...

what doesnt seem fair to me is that some people are going to want a little bit of both...like take the mage for example....wizards can teleport...but it doesnt really say what warlocks get :/ just that their skills are powerful..and they have bad def

and will all skills be split up? like...if xbow didnt have utmost arrow....I would probably quit playin fiesta ^^

and please....PLEASE....tell me that rangers get the long distance attack too >.< cuz thats SOOO not fair that someone with a bow can sit in FBZ1 and pick you off from the circular part of FBZ 1...... and then someone with an xbow would have to run all the way there....and....the xbow just wouldnt stand a chance >.< (on the otherhand clerics and fighters are OK because of...well...fighters have highest weapons, attack, def, and hp and clerics have high...def...idk about mages though :/ I guess teleport could make them lock off?)

Well think about it logically. A hand strung bow with have far more accurate and distant range than an automatic crossbow. It's only natural that this is true in-game as well as in reality. No Distant Shot for you :(

The longer the bow, and the more sturdy it is, the longer the shaft flies. There is no difference between a bow and a crossbow, only a bow has naturally varying speeds, while a crossbow is constant.

04-07-2009, 04:36 PM
Well I was referring more to RL than in-game when I said that. I only meant it should carry over in game for the purpose of logic. If you are talking about RL archery then a crossbow doesn't have constant speed 0-0 Just with a bow it is all a matter of how fast you can reload. I mean, to my knowledge there are no automatic crossbows in existence (Though I could be wrong, and if so I require vids with which to gawk at).

0-0

I must admit, I was not aware of this contraption.

Yet after watching some youtube videos of their use, I am further convinced of my original assessment. That reload action is awkward and certainly jerks the crossbow around quite a bit. This decreases the user's aim, which becomes a slowly escalating issue the farther away the target is, unless they have virtually unnatural steady hands.

fireyair
04-07-2009, 04:49 PM
That's just someone without proper training. An amature.

However, have you ever seen an untrained individual using a bow? Takes about 5 minutes just to load an arrow, then shoots off the bow instead of the arrow. :rolleyes:

Utmost is the only shared skill (other than the AoE Bleed) so no worries :P. And really...unless distance shot is like 1hkoable damage ( Not counting hellgait since those are ridiculously broken at 91-12x) what good will it really do? Ohoho I can shoot you every 4 mins MILES AWAY 8D.

I'm a PvP archer...
PvP is probably the only thing that keeps me playing fiesta and Now I'm beginning to think that the SharpShooters will Be the PvP heads and the Rangers; the Solo AoE Maniacs. I originally planned on ranger (since Im an XBow user and think Blinding/entangle/entrap was cool But Now I'm not to sure.

Any 1 have an Idea on what the PvP class would be?

04-10-2009, 12:31 PM
sharpshooter is pvp, no doubt about it. except when our Fiesta decides to do everything totally different than fiestaonline.net says...
sharpshooters are said to be best at 1 vs 1 battles and their STR and SP increase...
they also get disarm.(wich only works at players cause Mobs have no weps) detect(to cancel hide mode of thew rangers..) blind and unguard work on mobs too but i'm not sure...
and rangers get all the handy skills in the field...
hide, so they can egt everywhere without being hit.
entrap, always handy.... put a trap on the road... lure mobs...BOOM!!!! i <3 rangers
and i think rangers are alson the TANK archer class... since they get more END.

i think rangers are good in PVP , but Sharpshooter is the PVP class...

04-11-2009, 11:30 PM
hehe... i don't have to be Sharpshooter if u don't want. I'm sure ranger are good in PvP aswell. think of this... : You are fighting against a fighter. youre running like hell so he won't hit you. but somewhere he will reach you, stun you, kill you. but this time. your a Ranger! he reaches you , and you dissapear!( hide mode!) walk to a safe distance, and start attacking the fighter again... PWN!!!!


So they won't be that bad at PvP,
and i think sharpshooters will suck against monsters, so you wont lv up so fast. most of their skills only work against players...and sharpshooters look dumb...

So that's why I'm going to be a ranger for sure!

themichael
04-12-2009, 09:45 PM
Or just dodge it with the massice EVA boost.

somethings tellin me SSs will be Mage type/Archer type/cleric type killers and Rangers will be Mage type/Gladiator/(the weaker)cleric/Raneger killers.

In other words... SSs will kill the DDs and the Rangers will have a better survival/kill rate against fighters and clerics. (assuming Entangle still blocks skills.)

yeah, maybe it is.
i'm wondering what stat is better on ranger... DEX or STR

themichael
04-12-2009, 10:37 PM
Well...
If you wanna be more balanced with your Ranger then STR would be better.

If you want to maxamize your advantages over other Rangers and have the highest EVA/AIM in the game then DEX would be best.

ATM Im thinkin Ima go 25SPR 50DEX 50STR then if i have enough points, Specialize in DEX.

[BLUESTAR☼INC.]

Niiro
04-13-2009, 12:01 AM
i think i'm going for the 25SPR/STR build and see if i can add some dex later on...:D

BTW we're the only ones posting on this topic....kinda strange no one else does.

themichael
04-14-2009, 05:23 PM
I went 25SPR full STR...dont do it.
Once you hit lvl 51 you'll regret it. Its more difficult to solo a large number mobs.

I advise the 25SPR 50DEX full STR build.
or at least go 25SPR 1:1 DEX:STR. Survival is much more important.

BTW: Idid notice :)

actually, you will get every skill you need.
By splitting classes and restricting those skills pertaining to the other class, you won't waste your money.

It's like buying a fighter skill scroll for an archer.
It's an awesome skill, but it's not ment for your class, period.
