KMST 1.2.471 - Wind Archer 4th Job

They have 65% Critical Rate, like every other archer, except they don't get 100% Critical on dodges.

They do, however, have +155 WATK total if you have Second Wind active, 140 without.

Is that like before beginner's skills(cyngus bless & allanice) or including them? But 155attack is like having a second bow for stats.

that hp 0.o
9 k at lvl 201...

Dear mother of god. [MENTION=618]Takebacker[/MENTION]; told me they had a skill like this, but very clearly missed some of the most OP parts of it. Crit 35%? Attack +70? 15% status resist and PDR IGNORE?

Are you kidding me Nexon? Why don't I just delete my bowmaster now?

Once they are done with all this Cygnus crap, the story better be that Empress teaches the adventurers how to also be badass because right now I feel like my class is a joke.

Really?

Besides the attack, which is pretty significant, 15% Damage from Spirit Link, 25% DEF Ignore from Marksmanship, I'm pretty sure they have the same amount of crit as the other archers, and 15% Status/Element Resistance from Spirit Link.

I fail to see how this skill makes it that much better than Bowmasters.

That pomegranate is crazy.

But please tell me those sound effects are the video screwing them up, because they're awful. They made my ears bleed a little.

Finally, a Bowman I'm actually interested in playing. One of the few times I'm actually liking a revamp/new character.

The sound effects are Zakum's hit sound. Hopefully there will be a new sound effect for WA Hurricane.

As if it was hard to be better than a bowmaster.

Well I did forget about the 15% I get from spirit link, but that's because GMS doesn't have hypers yet.

Idk, they seem pretty overpowered to me. Having 60% evasion rate, attack speed increases, +80~ passive attack more than I do, etc.

So I get 20% more hp then them from spirit link right? Well at all times they have a 20% to ignore damage taken, PLUS a good horizontal mobility skill that has i-frames.

Don't even get me started on their single-target hypers. Unless the bowmaster is capping with hurricane mine are trash in comparison.

Well, yeah, I'm not saying Bowmasters are anywhere near Wind Archers, sorry, I'm just saying Albatross Max isn't the most OP skill there since it doesn't really go that far beyond the "standard" archer stats.

I think I saw another skill that gives them status resistance, as well, though.

Very true, it is not as insane as I had originally thought. Thanks for pointing it out.

Don't mind me, I'm just frustrated with Nexon. No need for you to be sorry.

In case you already read this post I'll tag you again.

Yes, wind archers have 25% passive status resistance. Featherless gives 10%. All of my want. All of my rage.

oh great, another archer with achilles.

I'm sorry... but WHAAAAAAT

Holy god of Broken! Was the 70 attack and 35% crit absolutely necessary?

Now that's one albatross I wouldn't mind around my neck.

I'm kinda lost in this.
What's the link skill for both TB and WA?

Cygnus Blessing: The awakened Empress’ blessing protects you from enemies’ attacks, increasing your resistance to states and elements by 5% (10% for level 2). If other Cygnus jobs exist within your account, you can stack this Link Skill up to 5 times. If linked, this skill’s effects will be reduced to 2% (5% for level 2). (Link Skill)

Honestly disappoint that is the path they're going for the Link Skill. In the end if you want the full benefit you have to make all 5, wish instead you could make all 5 for 5 unique benefits.

Personally I like it more this way.
For most people it'd be a link skill roulette, see if the Cygnus you made ages ago for the blessing scores a decent link skill!
As it is, you can be sure your blessing mule, should you choose to not play it after the revamp, will be as effective for your main as any other Cygnus.

Time to delete all my archers now.

Thing thing renders Mercedes, the archer of all natures USELESS

WA, you will be my link skill mule only.

Eh.

The way I see it wouldn't even matter what class your blessing mule was given that the way they did it makes you want to make all 5 anyway. If they had made 5 different link skills at least you could have 5 different skills instead of one stacking skill.

Now that I think about it, do you only need 5 Cygnus guys total to cap the link skill on an actual Cygnus, or would it need weird stuff like two wind archers to cap out my wind archer? :v

Edit: @Above
That's exactly what I mean, though. You aren't left thinking "Well great, my Blaze Wizard is granting my Demon Slayer/Paladin/Hayato 20 MATT. Better delete it and make a Dawn Warrior." and the like.
A leftover Night Walker is going to do the same thing for an Archmage as a Striker would, stuff like that.

ima make this on an alt just for lulz. then I can spam homing missles and kill stuff for funsies
