[Spoilers] Ninja ST, Archer ST Follow Ups, and then useless [stuff]

#1

subject to change

ok first, follow up to this post. Sun Archer ST is now Phantom Archer ST. sprites for it now exist, but no 16x16. All the changes will be from variant 2, since variant 1 seems to be kill (sadly). also bow and quiver still white bags, and so is the katana and star. ninja st placeholder sprites.

They’re Shards but for Character Slots and Vaults. Max stack of 5. They may or may not drop, could be a mystery box equivalent of ST shards, but even ST shards started dropping eventually.

[Spoilers] Archer ST and very important stuff
#2

So basically Mercy’s bane for Leather Classes?

#3

Yes, because DECA will allow people to grind for vaults/chars instead of forcing them to pay or log in every day for a month.

#4

Haven’t some of the event chests been dropping vault unlockers

#5

wtf ob really changed the shit in the title to stuff

#6

Archer ST Set:

  • Glad they got rid of the Archer ST theme (being sun based) and instead gave it to the ninja.

  • Glad that the Archer ST quiver now has a specific purpose (rushing), and the stats the whole set give are very general, as in, it fits every purpose (which ST sets should do, because you can’t use anything as a swapout, so they should be somewhat useful in every scenario).

  • My only problem is that the Helios Garbs (Wraith’s Brigandine) are so fucking overpowered, like holy shit, bye bye Leaf Dragon and Nil Armor as the “leather classes tanky armor choices.”

  • Ring’s shit. No surprise there, but I really hate the trend of every ST ring being pretty damn bad.

Also surprised that there’s two ST sets in implementation at once. We will finally have all 15 (after the initial release, like 3/4 years ago).

Ninja ST Set:

  • As with the archer set, it seems to be able to achieve what the Ninja strives to do, albeit slightly slower (it can sure as hell rush though, with the Armored buff, and deals good damage to crowds and single targets). It also has some nice damage while, like the archer set, bringing some survivability to the set. Don’t care much about ninja, but this set definitely seems practical and some of the items seem dope on their own too.

.NINJA ST! ITS HAPPENING! Can’t wait to tell my cats this

#8

I disagree so much about stats from the Archer set armor… its’s so much better then Armor of Nil…
If you consider 1 def to equal 10 hp, you are getting 3 more defense then Nil, without a spd bane.
Also, if you think about Lost Halls, the armor even manage to totally eclipse Armor of Nil.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, if anyone argues that Breastplate of New Life overcreeps Candy Coated Armor, let me tell just say that Candy Coated drops from one of the easiest dungeon of the game and Nil doesn’t.

#9

Those things shouldn’t be in the thread title in the first place

#10

If this was in ideas, I would have failed this. I’m sorry but I’ve definitely seen better ninja ideas in the ideas section of this forum.

Archer Set:
Sprites: Sad…Just sad. The bow sucks, the hide sucks, the ring sucks. Quiver’s alright but isn’t near original.
Bow: As noted, this is just boring. Low range, low dps. Just made to make void bow look even better. Not going to see play outside of set/on ppes.
Quiver: Cool. This is about the only part of the set I can get behind
Hide: Leaf hide was just ruined for me
Ring: Even Captain’s ring is better than this.

Ninja Set
The comments were already made for me in the title :stuck_out_tongue:

Looking at it overall, I think the big part of these new items is the concept of passing cover, going through objects so you can sit behind something and snipe a target on the other side. Overall,don’t like the Idea. Feel like these sets were made for a certain dungeon rather then for RotMG as a whole.

#12

They seem to have accidentally designed the ST quiver using a template based on a wizard’s spell ability, instead of the archer’s quiver.

#13

*stands on 02 for maximum quiver damage

#14

worm

That actually sounds like a really good Necro ring. I’d gladly sacrifice 2 defense for 80 HP, tbh.

#15

worm?

#16

worm

#17

inb4 we get a super broken ninja with both armoured and speedy

#18
