So I finnally saw the archer

General Discussion
#1

took a trip to the nahash woods and got greeted by the archer.

for those unaware I assume this is the archer everyone talks about, the guy that spawns and spiral shots you for 10k+ damage.

I have a stat potion so I can easily restat alot more con to handle past this area but why does this guy exist? everything else in the area hits for 300-2k, but this one ranged unavoidable mob hits for 10k+?

feels like nobody tested past this area, if it was intended as a party map i’d expect everything to hit hard, all have tons of hp, and all give tons of exp with large mobs, or any combination of the above, but most of the mobs have less then 5k hp, and the spawns are so low there is quite literally no reason to party here.

it feels like a trap for new players, a “sorry you didn’t spec 200 con better get to rerolling” trap

before you waste your stat potion to mess up your stats, what level are you? and have u tried going back there with full 2 hour buffs?

#3

I was heading towards the next map when I met those archers, I though it was the mages that did the damage. Basically i ran passed a pack of mobs and got hit for 10k dmg, healed up and test it again and sure enough, 10k spiral arrow.

my healer died twice trying to run to the next map

I’m level 218 and I haven’t tried buffes, are any of the buffes strong against ranged attacks?

#5

If you mean the blue spion archers

They hit hard if your under their level range, and they also have high critical much like the red things at alemeth forest

#6

spiral arrow, the regular hits are ticklish comparing to that

#7

Blue Spion Archers are Elite monsters (They do more damage, they have higher HP and they give more exp).

Nahash Forest is the hellground for those who thought that going full damage is a good idea

#8

eh, seems like it’s more of a trap, it’s not like every monster does high damage, nor is there damage comparable to any other mob on the map or elites from previous maps (I think i’d of recognized mobs one hitting me on any previous maps).

I mean let’s say you go 200 con, and at level 315 they throw a single archer mob onto that map that does 60k in a single attack would you say that it was a bad idea stopping at 200 con should of gone 400?

then you hit 360 and they put an archer that deal 400k in a single attack should of gone 1000 con?

it’s bad scaling and poor design imo, but they can do as they want, I guess it will sell stat potions in the long run.

Have you tried separate armor types? I’m assuming you’re in Plate type top, but, myself being in Cloth I never had anywhere near 10k for a full spiral. Although it’s about 2-3k for sure.

A lot of archer skills have sub-types of Pierce and Hit, the latter being additional damage to plate. The Missile primary type doesn’t apply to size anymore but as a flat reduction to Pdef values (so I hear).

I’m not really educated in either, but, at-level or when I was under-level the Blue Spion Archer’s Spiral Shot never reached close to 10k. Again though I’m in a Cloth top so my armor type is likely different than yours. Perhaps you can run a few tests for us? Get hit with spiral while your stats are open and verify if the enemy missile lowers your Pdef at all, and, see if perhaps a different armor type has any impact on the damage received from Spiral Shot? It could be that the meta armor type is just weak against them =)
