no love for the archer, and other initial thoughts

[deltoru]

New configuration of the attack button basically renders rapid fire skill useless, especially for us old timers with arthritic fingers. I also had a crash trying to access the vault via the blue spheres, New areas/quests definitely have me intrigued, hopefully I don't need to retrain away from archery to work through these quests. All in all, EK is definitely awesome so far.

I think David is not prioritizing the Archer Rogues for now because there are many things to improve and consider regarding other classes, to what i'm seeing right now Archer is good in any situation and I love how David put the world to Archer's favor. As an Archer we can snipe through rocks, we have a slowing trap plus a really nice trap boost with fire elemental damage and a free Speed Potion. I also like to add that only archers can kill the Greater Demon and the Undermother earlier than any other class.

What can I say for now, downside for Rogue Archers is the lack of elemental choices for weapons and a reason to join a guild due to the absence of special advanced skills for them.

there's a new skill that will help if you built a squishier archer.
You can find it in nivarian with Seldon, number 4 in this map: http://www.exiledkingdoms.com/wiki/imag ... arianU.jpg

It gives you the ability to go stealth even with enemies attacking you, also has a chance to stun them.

I think the OP main complaint was about a bug in the early test build that made the hold-attack button not work, requiring quickly tapping for attack. It was fixed very quickly, please update and it should work as usual.

Please keep comments about the test update in the testers thread. Locking this.
