Piety for scouts? Something just isn't right here.

Dark Age of Camelot
Test Version 1.88d Release Notes
Archery and Stealth Changes
March 8, 2007

===================================

NEW THINGS AND BUG FIXES

- Monsters, pets and Non-Player Characters (NPCs) will now halt their pursuit when a character stealths.

- Maulers will no longer lose Tireless when using a Realm Respec.

- (Pendragon only) In an effort to facilitate testing, we have added an NPC to each of the realm's capital cities which will grant the following: Experience, Realm Points, Bounty Points, and coin. This will allow players to create new characters or update existing characters as needed to test new additions to the game in a more effective and timely manner. Enjoy!
Note: These NPCs are located in the capital cities inside the primary entrance and can be identified by their <Testers Union> title.

CLASS AND SKILL CHANGES

Archery (Hunters, Rangers and Scouts)

This patch will implement functionality for the new Archery system. The mechanics of the system will be mostly in place, but delves of these attacks are still being tweaked.

- Archers have had their unique bow lines replaced with a new line, called "Archery".

- The Archery line contains 12 types of shots and several self buffs. The names of these abilities are still placeholders at this time, and will be updated in a later version in this patch cycle.

- The Pathfinding skill for Rangers has been merged into Archery, and all of the buffs from that line are now found in the Archery line (available to all Archer classes).

- Self buffs in Beastcraft have been replaced with the self buffs in the Archery Spec.

- New archery abilities are now available under the spells tab, under the Archery list.

- Archery damage and draw time are now affected by the Dexterity skill.

- Archery shots now have a minimum range of 200 units, except for the point blank shot.

- Archery shots now have different Endurance costs depending upon the shot.

- Archery shot types are as follows:

Standard Shot: Average range, draw time and damage.

Long Shot: Longer range, average draw time and slightly lower damage.

Power Shot: Shorter range, long draw time not affected by Dexterity; higher damage.

Point Blank Shot: Very short range, long draw time and high damage.

Critical Shot: Must be fired from stealth, very high damage, average range and average draw time.

Rapid Fire: Average range, short draw time and low damage.

Fire Shot: Heat damage, long draw time and shorter range.

Cold Shot: Cold damage, long draw time and shorter range.

Poison Shot: Body damage Direct Damage/Damage Over Time, long draw time and shorter range.

Acid Shot: Matter damage Direct Damage/Damage Over Time, long draw time and Shorter range.

Volley: Ground Targeted Arrow Volley will hit 3 times; damage increases with spec, as well as the number of enemies hit.

Siege Shot: Does damage to objects such as Keep Doors and Siege equipment.

- Archery damage and draw time are now affected by the Dexterity skill.

also - wanted to ask, on live does acid shot / poison shot stack...

Until someone finds a patch note that specifically mentions piety I will not believe it's used in archery.

Piety = Intelligence = Charisma..

On my Minstrel on live i can equip a weapon with +8 piety and it will give me +8 charisma instead.. also if i equip +8 intelligence it does the same..

Dex is archerys acuity stat, it is what governs damage on the archery portion of their shots.

As in, if you use FIRE or COLD shot, it is not a "proc" it is a shot that just happens to do that damage type and should receive full effect from dex. It is the ARCHERY damage stat. Not 100% sure about the dots though, I will see if I have any test data from live on those to see if we are in line or not.

Now it might be incorrect to make it their acuity stat, but my experience from live that my saracen scout seemed to have a noticable higher power pool than my celt ranger suggest dex does factor in power pool so with exception of maybe the dot portion of the dot shots and procs, dex very well does act like an acuity stat.

Note: Archers only use mana to cast their buffs so how much mana pool that have does not make a significant impact. The check on their shooting damage is endo as that is what the shots use.

Just stop.

Until someone finds a patch note that specifically mentions piety I will not believe it's used in archery.

Dexterity effects damage. What we need is a test on live of scout damage with differing levels of dex and other attributes to see how the damage is effected.
