Pierce Speed and Damage

Yea, who ever said 82% for IA too? That was never actually confirmed, it was generally accepted. With these crazy str archers on private servers, we see so much more now.

1.25 is entirely possible, but a tad too much, .8/1.2 sounded good before, but now its probably .9/1.2

I'm sure if they nerfed pierce, xbows would be in absolulte UPROAR.

I think 0.82 was confirmed for IA a long time ago, and they updated it with v0.56 along with the increased base damage at level 1.

Well apparently it was .8 at v.55

My question is how was it confirmed, remember .02 isn't really an enormously huge number when we're dealing with IA (beacuse of its 1.8 base), its only a 7.8% difference on the last number, that can be hard to notice without a full str archer (as Sap mentioned).

Either way, that's the past, until further notice I like .9/1.2, but further testing would be nice. Xbish, if you could do a test on something with high def (skeles maybe?) so we can see if Pierce doesn't use wdef, and more damage samples (on w/e, skeles would be fine) could help as well ^^

I dont think it does ignore wep def. I aggroed birks and got them to do their def up and Pierce did half the damage it normally does.

Does sacrifice and assaulter (which we know ignores wdef, assaulter only if you're above the lvl of the monster) ignore the wdef up? I think sacrifice does, but I'm pretty sure assaulter (again, which does ignore wdef in the same way we think Pierce may) does not.

Ie. Pierce might work like assaulter, and assaulter deals 1's to wdefed up monsters (I think)

There's 1 way and 1 way only to solve this question. Mass amounts of samples and field-observation, like with the PKB, F/p, wdef, Venom, and heal formulas, Pierce is just another one of those things.

Easy thing to do: Pierce a skele a few times, see if the damage goes below min*8.5, if it doesn't, case closed, if it does even once, then that means it does take wdef.

Seriously, MM, this question is killing me!

Tespia STR marksman.
We should come up with a pre-emptive name for him so I don't have to type that out every time.

RoidsArrow

I think we can all agree on that.

Why?

Cause he'll have a crap load of unnatural str.

And so do all warriors, and soon infighters.

No, they have natural str, being the 5 per level kind.

RoidsArrow is going to have the crazy weird Tespia drugged kind, if the glitch persists to the next one.

It's jigajuice I tell you.

RoidsArrow. I like it =P
