Archer Showa Boss Guide - In Depth MelliMelon of Bellocan here, (of Resonance!). I made an in-depth (turned out to be quite long too... sorry 'bout that) video guide on how to solo all the showa bosses (view it [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c15xtKfvGBk]here[/url]). Here's the youtube video description: I don't think there's much to say about this video. I realized my last guide missed a lot of information and I've also noticed that many archer's don't know how to effectively puppet The Boss. This guide is applicable to all classes to a certain extent, but most of the information in the guide is on puppeting. Shortcuts: BGA 0:25, BGB 2:14, The Boss 2:55 If you want a shorter, text version of the BGA guide, go to my other video [url=htt
Open forum on Ascension for Marksmen EDIT: The first and third of my questions are also for BM's I suppose... I just have too much class pride. EDIT: I'm "MelliMelon" and "HowiSWorks" (capital i though) on Tespia. Buddy if you want. EDIT: for those of you asking about EB: see my [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/2212529/0/How_evasion_skills_work_The_sad_reality.html]new thread here[/url]. You said "1) Illusion Step's evasion chance works exactly like Shadow Shifter, complete with animation and F2. However, when Illusion Step's evasion triggers, it will not trigger the 100% crit for 1 second effect. I ran multiple tests on this. Don't know if this is intentional or a bug." But I never got the smile, and all
Evasion Boost: A test of 2000 hits [header]Somewhat shorter version[/header] 15.9% avoid without EB and 17.5% avoid with evasion boost, as opposed to the calculated 18%, with a sample size of 1000 with each. [header]The long-winded version[/header] So I decided to test the effects of Evasion Boost (EB). My avoid on this Tespia character is 544. Accuracy of Leprechaun (1) is 25 (from H.S.). Avoid = sqrt(544) - sqrt(25) Roughly equal to 18%. So what I did was count the number of times I was hit in a row WITHOUT EB. Just so you can check I didn't make any errors, here is my data: 7 1 4 0 5 0 1 5 1 3 3 2 5 8 0 3 1 0 4 5 5 3 1 4 2 6 0 4 10 2 3 1 4 3 0 0 11 4 4 3 4 0 24 9 9 9 3 1 3 0 2 1 4 1 3 3 8 4 24 20 7 9 1 1 5 0 1 1 23 15 7 5 5 0 8 1 15 10 1
How evasion skills work. The sad reality EDIT: It seems that IS was just glitched for me, and it DOES help (seemingly like Shadow Shifter). By MelliMelon: First I will start with the [b]facts[/b] that I gathered from Tespia at Bearwolves: Bearwolves have 169 accuracy. (says HS and Basil) Without EB or IS, with 56 dex and 291 avoid: I got hit 100/100 times at Bearwolves. (Expected: 96/100. See my interpretations for explanation) With 1 EB (~2% miss chance) and no IS (291 avoid, 56 dex): I got hit 100/100 times at Bearwolves (Expected: 96/100 - 2% so around 94/100) With 1 EB and 27 IS (313 avoid and 93 dex): I got hit 100/100 times at bearwolves. (Expected: 95/100 - 2% - 27% so around 66/100) After adding my stats (655 avoid and 631 dex, 1 EB
