Archer Buff: Kicking Dirt

I think archers should be able to kick dirt or sand with the space bar and stun somebody for a little less than half a second to make it easier to get away as an archer and not get totally pwned. Even if it had a bit of a cool down so that you can't just spam someone by stunning them over and over, it would still make playing as an archer more fun and useful.

 

so in addition to the shotgun blast that essentially makes archers a close-ranged class, and the grappling hook you can use to scoot away after stunning someone this way, you want a dedicated "stun" key so you don't have to master that pesky timing :^)

 

I'd like to see this on the builder instead.

 

This^

If any class deserves a buff its the builder.

 

*cough* grapplin *cough*

yup.

 

I'd just like it if the archer was able to break through dirt and dig in general (like the knight with his sword). Would make me feel more useful in times where digging is required.

 

I'd rather see archers getting better at something else.

 

Wouldn't it be cool if knights could shoot arrows and build? I think that would make them seem more useful when not being a knight is required.

 

builder buffing ftw yes plz

 

I am with you guys BUFF THE BUILDAH

 

just... why?

To the builder suggestions, I also think builders should be buffed, and yet what I disagree with you on is the area in which he is buffed. Why the flying fuck do you want to make him a combat class?

 

I'd hardly call giving the builder a stun a transition into combat class.

 

What I'm trying to point out, is that nearly all builder tweaks refer to combat, when the main purpose of his is lying forgotten in a dungeon.

 

Archers do need something to do with that pesky spacebar IMO... but they already have custom arrows which is similar to bombs.

But I would like to see some other ability besides different arrows, if knights were similar to archers then they would have different swords. I'm all for archers being able to destroy blocks, but having a stun button seems like to much when they could triple shot or just grapple away.

EDIT: Okay I really only care if archers have the added ability to destroy dirt and wood with either their bow or the spacebar, but seriously archers need the ability to destroy the blocks that knights can.

 

as others have said, archers don't need a buff right now imo. they have cqc and are the fastest class in the game. if a knight is able to rek you like that chances are you're doing something wrong.. consider running away just before that last arrow.
totally for this being added to builder, it would make sense and allow for newer builders to not be complete knight-feed.

 

Needs more "gib mone or ban". Also, we've learned from the water buckets of desolation, that free stuns are the worst things you can ever give people.

Ok Back on topic. Archers DO NOT need another way to stun somebody. And think about it IRL, how does kicking dirt at someone stun them. Yes, I know water doesnt really stun someoen irl, but it can disrupt their movements.

And what about the spam? Continually pressing space (if the button would be space) to continually stun your opponents.
