[1.2.336] Changed Guild Skills

Archers and NLs don't lose out on anything. Accuracy was a joke at this point anyway, and ranged classes still get more out of criticals than other classes do because ranged classes fire a lot more hits in a smaller amount of time than every other class. Not to mention both archers and NLs got extremely powerful base damage upgrades to compensate for the removed dependance on critical damage. Even if critical gives less damage compared to non crit bowmasters fire 700 arrows per minute, MMs at around like 570ish, and NLs at 600ish which means you're getting a LOT more damage out of criticals than any other class still.

Yeah, accuracy was a joke, but at least you could make use of it by training on higher level monsters earlier, like sniping Newties at 8x, or fighting bosses like Royal Guard S. Now that's literally impossible, regardless of class. lot of weak hits that are increased by a small amount means it's still a lot of weak hits. Right now, pre-BB, with hurricane and SE we've got 55% critical rate, and 10 arrows per second (for math simplicity). that means that 5.5 of the arrows are very strong, and 4.5 are very weak. But it averages out, so that the DPS is decent. After big bang, it's 4.5 arrows are low damage, and 5.5 are moderate damage, that averages out to be weak compared to others. The biggest thing i'm worried about is losing the ability to pin and hold back bosses, because the only thing that prevents them from flattening me like a steamroller are the high criticals. Without that, there's no way to hold them back. Since our HP is still pomegranate, we can't take the hits, so we're going to die.

So no more soloing bosses. No more training on higher level monsters early. No more high criticals. It feels as though all of the BM's strengths have been ripped away and we're left with the myriad weaknesses unaltered in any significant way. Now I can't even continue running around on my own, because if I want to get anything out of these guild skills, I have no choice but to join one of the big guilds. The big guilds who hold boss altars from each other, who merchant the FM and ruin the economy. Who get in KS wars and members get harassed for the name under their character and not for any action they took personally. Can't I do ANYTHING by myself anymore? It's bad enough we had to give in and utilize the family system to keep up, even if it is mostly my own characters feeding my own characters rep. No way I can pull that off with a guild. Even if I could I wouldn't want to; I don't like being forced into things to keep my character average.
