Veteran mercenaries often tell a tale of a new recruit who was nearly struck down in battle because he was too distracted when first seeing an Amazon use this ability. Do not doubt his word, as he is probably referring to himself. Just smile and buy him another tankard of ale. Detail Stat Value Search Radius (Yards) 23 1/3 Minimum Arrows min(2 + [slvl/4] , 10) Maximum Arrows min(3+slvl , 10) +% Damage 5*slvl Next Delay (Frames) 4 Each arrow or bolt is transformed into a volley of shots, aimed at targets within its radius. Regardless of the number fired per volley, each volley only decreases quiver quantity by one. Any manually selected target will be attacked first. Skill descriptions calculate min(4+slvl , 10) maximum arrows. Maximum Arrows will only be fired if the number of targets is equal or greater, otherwise the Minimum Arrows will be fired at target(s). Firing sequence is the same length regardless of whether targets are all in one direction or scattered all around. However, when targets are scattered it can reduce the effectiveness of Pierce. Cannot move until end of firing sequence. Cold length is also reduced to 75%: poison length isn't reduced. Poison length is calculated differently when multiple items applying poison damage are used with skills that apply less than 100% weapon damage: Poison length = [sum of lengths / (sources - 1) ] [1] [2] Percentage Life Stolen and Mana Stolen per hit is also reduced to 75%, rounding down: this means 4% is reduced to 3%, and 1% is reduced to 0%. [3] Attack rate Due to the existence of the bugged breakpoints and next delay, effective attack rate against multiple and particularly single targets is not straightforward. It takes the same time for arrows and bolts to pass through a target. Effective attack rate is maximised by ensuring it takes as long as possible for each missile to pass through a target, allowing the maximum time possible for next delay activated by a previous arrow to expire: firing sequences are a fixed length, so maximising collisions per sequence results in more collisions and thus more hits and damage over time. However, while both always take 3 frames to pass through a size 3 target independent of firing position, it takes 1-3 frames for them to pass through a size 2 target dependent on firing position. Arrows or bolts take 3 frames to pass through a size 2 target centered on dark green sub-tiles, 2 frames to pass through one centered on green sub-tiles and 1 frame to pass through one centered on empty sub-tiles. Effective attack rate against a single target is always maximised at 3 frames and minimised at 1 frame. Multiple targets The tables below list the average frames per arrow when firing continuously at multiple targets which are spread out so that no arrow has to pass through another target (thus even with two targets there's an interval during which the 4 frame next delay expires).
