Description
Attacking the enemy from a place where his attacks cannot reach you is the easiest way to defeat an enemy. This is an obvious fact, but it's not so simple during actual battle. In a ranged attack, a weapon that enables such an attack and the skill to handle that weapon with percision are critical. Containing the basics of long-range attacks, learning Ranged Combat Mastery enables you to carry out more accurate and powerful attacks from a distance. However, this one thing must not be forgotten - long-range attacks are not accomplished by instant mental understanding but through persistent practice and training. The idea of a battle without risks is appealing, but it also requires much preparation and grueling training.
Details
Unlike Human Ranged Attack, elves can run with skill active, regardless of whether they are using a bow or crossbow.
Elves may run while aiming.
Elves may also aim while on a Mount.
However the mount must be standing still in order to load and fire.
Usable only with long range weapons.
Elves shoot 2 arrows simultaneously. They will either both hit or both miss.
Because of this, it can double the chances of scoring a Critical Hit.
If the first arrow would finish the enemy, the second arrows will not fire.
If an enemy uses Defense on the Ranged Attack, only one arrow will hit.
Both arrows are still used however.
Aiming speed increases with higher rank.
Clicking once on a monster will load the skill and start the aiming meter.
A second click will fire the arrow.
You must have the reserve attack option off to "hold" the arrow after it is fully charged.
The aiming meter only goes up to 99%.
If the opponent is standing still, max aim meter is 99%.
If the opponent is walking, max aim meter is 90%(92% in G10S2).
If the opponent is running, max aim meter is 80%(84% in G10S2).
If the character is moving, max aim meter is 50%.
One shot will stun the opponent, but will not knock them back.
Consecutive shots will push back the opponent (like Icebolt).
If the opponent is shot while down on the ground, it will cancel their animation and allow them to run towards you.
If the opponent is shot right after getting up, it will get pushed back.
If either shot is critical they will get knocked down again.
The Elf Ranged Attack tends to have advantage over Human Ranged Attack due to the 0.3 second load speed, especially if there is some latency between the server and client. The 0.5 second difference allows the elf to aim quicker, thus requiring less aim speed to be as effective.
However, Elf Ranged Attack lacks in dexterity bonus(-2 cool and max damage bonus(-10) compared to humans but elves require far less stamina which in turn prevents stamina failure.
It is possible to put an enemy into deadly status with one arrow, then finish them off with the second.
