Archer changes general

If we're going to talk about NUMBERS, Then maybe we should go with.

Knight: 2.3846712 Archer: 2.78193
3.18239 and 49829...12834

I think those numbers make perfect sense.

Anyways, Now arrow slashing is gone, Also, you are saying in a 15 v 15 game, bombs aren't easy to see. Maybe you shouldn't sit with 5 other archers shooting at knights waiting for the bomb eh? Would I: Throw bomb at 4 archers, or throw bomb at 1 archer. As long as the 1 archer isn't Trumbles or Aurora, I'd go with 4 archers.

Also, pretty high skill level to aim for 1 archer with a bomb jump... It's more than likely you are sitting at the top of a tower, and the knight is bomb jumping up. In that case. You can jump off and grapple... or shoot him out of the sky. Stun him with a water arrow. So many choices.



Also, I've got to say, it seems like you mostly play builder. As you've griefed multiple times on BD now...

 

which can be shot away by one arrow, especially with all the legolas shots. 4*3 = 12 arrows coming at you
which can be hard to throw up high to a tower
which costs 25 gold
which the archers can easily grapple away from

 

This is the problem, how can you possibly ask for more balance when you haven't even played as a knight? You need to experience both knight and archer to even come up with a valid balance suggestion as you haven't even seen archers from a knights perspective.
Archer is my favourite class by far but this doesn't mean I'm going to ignore what other classes the game has to offer. =]

As an archer you need be aware of your surroundings and knowing when to retreat or advance is key to your survival. If you master this then you can avoid being killed by a bomb or slashed to death by a knight.

 

You're mistaken

Don't bring this into the equation, it makes me cry.

I have played knight in the past, I just found it so boring because it was too easy to kill archers and builders, so your only threat was other knights which would stomp you (me).

 

and yet there is no efficient way to down out a knight as an archer. You can use water arrows, but you need a water arrow + 2 arrows to only deal half damage - if you hit them. That costs 20 coins :(.

That's the point, I have no skill as a knight, yet I go around easily owning archers. Reason? Archers are hard to play, therefore should be buffed.

 

I never said archers should be able to take out knights from a distance, but up close it takes 2x Legolas, and with the amount of risk applied (where one hit from the knight means death) I really don't understand why it takes so much to kill them.

. No, all the not 'no-life' archers came in to attack, but that made them die. All the 'no-life' archers sat on towers and shot at my shield doing nothing.

Yes, maybe I should gain 35329508235903 x the amount of skill a knight has to beat them. That makes sense, I should defo not just switch to knight, steal kills, never die, and claim I am the best ever because I have kd of 32905203502352395-23592305923052395323059242-3902-30

 

I do do single shots, but I find it much better to do a Legolas as it does 3x as much damage. Again, buttering knights is boring as Hell.

 

Also, it takes one legolas and one single shot.

 

If you don't have a crappy ping and/or miss them as they're about to slash you (one hit kill).

Of course I get satisfaction from that, but with so many knights below me, it's hard to jump around above and around their heads. It's also likely one will get a bomb and I won't notice.

In what world does archer do most DPS? It takes 0 seconds of charing to get a 1 heart damage attack, about a second two get a two heart, and 2 seconds (?) to get a 4 heart damage attack. Whereas to do a 1 heart damage attack, you've got to charge for 1 second as archer. And about 5 seconds for a 3 heart damage attack.

 

You started it :(.
