    You can catch them at any speed, but unless you have a lot of practice you are indeed much safer dodging/taking cover.

    Catching arrows is cool and all, but I think it'd be even cooler if they implemented shooting bombs.
    It'd be pretty epic to snipe a bomb out of the sky before it got near you, no?

    Can't we already do that? Alright you need a lot of luck, but I think I've done it before, right?

    I've caught a few out of the blue but I guess it's all luck or just being darn good at viewing time in matrix form.

    I, by accident, figured this out one day, and I've been using it ever since. Every time I do it, usually someone starts complaining about how it hit me but it didn't take nay health away.

    I tried it today. I was in a serwer only with my friend, so we tried. No effect, i died over 30 times. You've got to have ub3r skill or ub3r luck to do that.

    Not really. All you have to do is get your timing down-pat.

    Low lag or know your lag limit and LOTS of skill. :)
    (No I can't do it consistently, yes I know people who can!)

    masonmistel you should set up a training server for that. You should also make a tutorial because you know ALL the details.

    What makes you think I know ALL the details? I just said you have to get the timing straight. And if you really want me to, I gladly will.

    You can be like the kung-fu masters in the movies where they just back up and catch flying projectiles with their hand like it was nothing. :3

    By this I meant that since you said you mastered the timing, you could help other people to master it too. :):bow:

    I can't catch them every time, but the slow ones are really easy to catch, medium ones gets pretty difficult, and the charged ones are impossible, as someone said above.

    It's very easy most of the time. I just tried and owned 4 other archers. :bow::):flex:
