LOL kiting archers XD

[sbr999]

Was wondering what archers think about new patch.
Casting dots and aoe dots while running woohoo XD
Kiting now rocks....but running still weird animation lol x.x

[azureangel]

Useful, but now I can't insta-cast. I have to wait for the arrow to land before the next goes, but I guess the new way is better =).

[RyaikenDune]

WE CAN KITE AGAIN?
YAY!
I was having such a hard time duoing w/cleric and trioing w/mage&cleric because I couldn't cast them fast enough to take aggro!

[aznguy28]

IT OWNS! I can now solo like 30 orcs in DOA XD! FTW! WOOO!! Finally a useful update >.>

[Scarlets]

I love it. x3

[Lythari]

Finally, we can strafe. Now if we can only work on orbiting... XD

[KanesAssassin]

Its awesome, I've solo aoed more doa orcs than ever before. Anyone try to use it in pvp yet?

[Kealm]

PvP usage makes it easier to take on fighters for sure, and clerics can't touch me. Other than that nothing special. In any case I like the new change, it means i no longer need the ole speed scroll... money saving ftw!

[Lythari]

Give it about a month to fully sink into the PvP realm, and I guarantee there will by like fifteen threads whining about how overpowered archers are because of it. I'm not layin' down any real money on this, but I bet you it'll happen...so brace yourselves!

[aznguy28]

lol we are bound to get whiners... archers finally get one decent update and they will start saying random stuff ._.; I love the kiting-ness tho :D LOL! try it in PVP XD Its hilarious xD

[ILiKePieLoRDoFKNiVeS]

how can you straff

[Strang3r]

I watched EvilStar's Youtube Vid and I can't wait till I play Fiesta again this holiday xD

[Lythari]

how can you straff

I don't know. How do you straff? ;)

[Strang3r]

Nice! I can also spam my single DoT skills without stopping!

[sbr999]

Lol yup. If they fix the running animation and add some sofisticated moves to run it would look awesome lol.

[Strang3r]

In Rohan, the archer faces the mob while running backwards which looks cool. But the problem is that other players don't see you doing that cool animation. If Fiesta could improve the animation more, it would be awesome.

Btw, do the archers in Fiesta kite just like in Shine Online now? Or are the Archers in Fiesta far more unique now?

So THAT's where you've been.....=(

BTW...so you guys are saying that Nature's mist is running cast now? YAY!

[ILiKePieLoRDoFKNiVeS]

ya i saw the vid of the archer aoeing and casting mist while running.(I tried it with multi, it didnt turn out so good...)It WAS AWESOME!!!

[Lythari]

I imagine it will take people some time to get the hang of it.

[ILiKePieLoRDoFKNiVeS]

it doesnt work with MS

[NimbusCloud]

lets hope this lasts... if they add in entanglement, and entanglement alone, we'll be equal finally! :D here's to hoping the mages dont ruin it for us D:<

[Strang3r]

it doesnt work with MS

No it doesn't unfortunately. But it works for the other 2 AOE skills that do DoT.

[ILiKePieLoRDoFKNiVeS]

ya... to bad i can use them yet.

[mstryoda]

I love it!!

It makes kiting so much more fun and easier :D
Especially AOE'ing large mobs while running around in Abyss XD

[RyaikenDune]

Mwahahahaha..here aer some pictures of one archer, Shadowbyrd, doing something that no mage/fighter could ever hope to accomplish.
Soloed 50 Goblin Captains at level 41 w/o any scrolls in half an hour. (I am stingy. Sue me). Only had a T1 endure from a nice cleric.
In a total of 50 Captains, I was hit about 10 times or less. This is not counting the times I got hit due to screenie lag. Used 9 HP Stones. And that is including the ones I used when I pulled 2 captains off of a very terrified mage. (Help from a very friendly cleric).

Hmmm...that's me getting smacked because of screen shot lag. My guildie is in the picture =P. I invited him to watch.

That very day, I kited close to 15 orcs (separately) with only stones. No potions what so ever. I ran up and down that stair case in the bottom left corner of Uruga. Never got stunned once. (Orcs normally stun at the end of a 3 hit combo).
Then, another guildie, joined me and I kited with cleric support.<---VERY VERY FUN.

I do not have a screenie but I think I met sbr666 around there..so there's proof.
Kiting archers FTW.

[Kealm]

I don't have a screenie to show it but the best moment i have with the new dots:

I was soloig in i0 at doa, and some party came in. quote: 'you don't need the whole room to yourself' /endquote I say: 'watch me' and solo kited the whole room for an hour nonstop. Then i had to restone but was fun ^^
