They are not humans. The kukulu video is a human as I said, the youtube videos are of an elf. Do you play this game? I think you actually didn't watch the video, because he even uses elf trans in the Phantasm run. And you know, the ladeca aim speed through the entirety of both videos?Ummm these are humans. The use of AR should have told you that.
First of all that is JP mabinogi, not KR. Second you need reforges and gear to do said content in the video in any race, not just elves. If you think you can pull out your beam swords and do the same as a human, you can't. I know you've never done the dungeons so you wouldn't know. Also, for the latency argument, I have 200ms and a 20:49 phantasm solo run. It's on youtube, look it up.So what you're saying is we have to shill out money out the end for over 10 bone dragons and tons of reforges to be able to easily clear content? Because what I see is someone who has tons of reforges and tons of pets to spam while they load up their skills. That isn't what the argument is about. Yea they clear it really easy, but that's in KOREA where latency basically doesn't exist.
Actually elves are not behind on STR btw, they get more str from shine of eweca. And str does not influence range or magic.the thread however does have a point in stating that archery is viable, especially mirage in a support kind of role, but soloing things to this extent, I do not know a single elf who has accomplished it solo, it all boils down to the STR deficiency.
If you would have actually watched the video, both FS and mirage are used in phantasm. No mirage in alby because not necessary. 13k is very low total level, and like I said earlier, you need to spend a lot on any race to be able to clear the content in the videos with efficiency, this is not unique to elves. Also, if you spend a lot of gold on both an elf or a human, you will clear faster on the elf.If this video had indeed showed elves using FS and Mirage then you would have a point. I play an elf and can do quite a bit at level 13k but nowhere near this as I did not spend a fortune on reforges, bone dragons, crystal deer and who know how many reforges.
I'm not sure if you play an elf or not, but aiming and missing is not an issue. It just isn't. Also, what group content are you playing that people do not want archery on? I'm sorry but either you're too weak as an elf, or the people organizing it are stuck in 2002. Elves have the fastest clear rate at literally any content. There are no buts, it's literally the truth.Then there is the fact that aiming is still a thing, other than the flat luck chance to miss, archery is the ONLY talent left that can even miss. People are arguing that archery should be able to clear content reliably without needing to get all these reforges and pets to clear content. its a slow talent and if you try and go into groups while maining archery, most people won't take you because they want fast clear times, and by the time you have one shot off 90% of the room is dead or just the room is cleared.
Yeah in 2009 where the only content was Shadow missions (seeing a trend here) anything was viable. Every single talent was weak, and so was the game's content. The game has harder content now, which requires stronger characters. Not just stronger archers, any talent. You lag behind in any talent if you don't invest in it. No one is trying to get anything fixed, as it does not need fixing. 80% of the archers in NA don't do that, because either they can't afford it, or they buy fashion. It is how NA is. In KR and JP, MMOs are very important to people, and players do not mind spending a lot of RL money on them. In NA it's not only not the case, but the people who do, mostly buy fashion. Some people can't spend money, or have time to grind for gold, which is understandable of course. That doesn't change anything regarding archery though.Coming from playing since 2009, archery used to be viable with just stats and a decent bow. you didn't need to spend so much gold/money to be able to clear content with archery, but now it seems like its necessary or else you just lag behind. That's dumb and people have been trying to get that fixed for ages now. and just because you can clear content with it does not mean it isn't broken and needs to be fixed. i bet you at least 80% of archers wont be able to do the things in the videos you sent because getting the gold and pets and reforges is too tall an order for them.
