Well from what I read from some other place.. Jesters are like a crappy Blade copy with SLOW aspd, weapons that knockbacks and crappy skills too.
Rangers are the better one, but I think only Junk Arrow is the only useful skill among all others, which either has crappy damage or long cooldowns. >_>
Well maybe a jFlyff player can clear that up.. I forgot most of the stuff I read about acros. x.x
Hmm...if you guys are looking forward to some kick-ass attacks and high dmg, then sorry, acrobats dont fit the bill...at all.
My lvl 65 ranger has...10 out of 14 skills that have cooldown. The only attack-up buff i get is bow mastery, which adds 1 attack per lvl...aka max atk added is 20(at lvl 20).
Bows have the same attack rate as staffs (in numerical terms), and yoyos have the lowest base attack. Both have a initial attack speed slower than using an axe, which makes dex builds seemly useless for yoyos.
Basic acrobat skills description:
Pulling: lvl 15, 2fp at lvl 1(yoyo skill)
Description: using a yoyo, pull the enemy towards you(utterly useless) Delay: 10-20secs, i forgot.
Slow step: lvl 15, ?? fp at lvl 1(yoyo skill)
Description: attack skill. small chance of slowing the enemy for about 5 secs.
Junk arrow: lvl 15, 20mp(i think) at lvl 1(bow skill)
Description: shoots 4 shots at enemy(consumes 1 arrow), has a high chance of missing all 4 shots(0 dmg) at lvl 1, improves while its lvl goes up. Best acrobat skill IMO.
Fast walker: lvl 18, 45FP at lvl 1(both yoyo and bow can use)
Requires: lvl 4 Pulling
Description: basically quick step, but uses FP, and lasts 3secs at lvl 1 (gains 1secs very 2 lvls).
Personal input: mine is at lvl 12, lasts for 10secs. Hence, another stupid skill. Delay: 20secs
Yoyo mastery: lvl 20, 30(?)fp at lvl 1(yoyo skill, duh)
Requires: lvl 3 Slow Step.
Description: the only yoyo attack-up skill i know of, adds 2 attack per lvl, for a maximum of 40 attack(at lvl 20)
Personal input: basically a short duration version of merc's blazing sword.
Bow mastery: lvl 20, 30mp at lvl 1(bow skill)
Requires: lvl 5 junk arrow
Description: adds 1 attack per lvl, maximum of 20(at lvl 20). The only skill that increases attack for bows.
Personal input: this is stupid.
Dark illusion: lvl 30, 20fp at lvl 1(both weapons)
Requires: lvl 7 or 8 Fast walker.
Description: you turn invisible(cloaking). lasts for 2 secs at lvl 1. 9secs at lvl 12. Delay: 20secs
(I will skip yoyo attack skills, since i dont have them personally)
Silent arrow: lvl 30, 45mp at lvl 1(bow)
Requies: lvl 5-6 bow mastery
Description: attack skill(very weak). you deal more dmg when in cloaking mode(dark illusion). about 100 more dmg when cloaking.
Aimed shot: lvl 35, 20mp at lvl 1(bow)
Requires: lvl 5-6 bow mastery
Description: deals dmg, has a small chance of dealing double dmg(something like knight's natural ability)
Perfect block: lvl 45, 30fp at lvl 1(both)
Requires: lvl 9 dark illusion
Description: Increases *Block* rate. even at lvl 13, i dont block much.(1/10 hits?) Delay: 20secs
Auto shot: lvl 45, 45mp at lvl 1(bow)
Requires: lvl 9 silent arrow
Description: Hits 4 times like junk arrow, but much weaker, and alays hits. Has a VERY SMALL chance of inflicting darkness status on monster, which lasts for like 5 secs Delay: 5secs
Arrow rain: lvl 50, 55mp at lvl 1(bow)
Requires: lvl 5 Aim shot
Description: Dot-Aoe(not AoE-DoT) because it has no initial big-damage. Purely DoT dmg. Hits twice at lvl 1, increases to 3 at about lvl 8.
Personal note: At lvl 11 with a +5 lvl 64 bow, 789 attack, i do 950 X3 max dmg. Nice dmg, but stupid delay. Delay: 10 secs.
Ranger skills: ones that i have so far.
Fire shot: lvl 60, 50(?) mp at lvl 1
requies: ranger job.
AoE-DoT. Average damage(about 2300 at lvl 10). Its DoT(looks like elementor's fire aoe) hits 5 times, each about 350 dmg with 789 attack. (DoT dmg is elemental, does 100 more to wind types, 100 less to water types) Delay: 5secs
Ice shot: lvl 60, 50(?)mp at lvl 1
Requires: ranger job
Description: AoE+slow status. Average dmg with a +5 bow(2400). has a 60% chance of slowing down the enemy(s) at lvl 10. Delay: 10Secs
Poison arrow: lvl 60, 52(?) mp at lvl 1.
Requires: ranger job
Description: Poison attack. Initial dmg is about 2500(with a +5 bow)poison dmg is 250 at lvl 10, fixed(same dmg to higher and lower lvl monster.
Personal input: i can only think of it being useful in pvp or against higher-lvl bosses. Delay: 5secs
Fast shot: lvl 65, 30mp at lvl 1.
Requires: lvl 3 ice shot.
Description: haste-type buff. Wit 100dex and lvl 10 of this buff, my speed is merely a 30dex merc using a sword. You could call this berserk without the attack bonus.(duration is about 1minute 24secs) Delay:30secs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you bother reading through the entire list, you will realise that ALL 4 of the ranger skills(lvl 60-65) has delay.
Elementors can out-kill me due to their high dmg ele spells, and the casting speed advantage with the action slot.
Alright i have looked and read all the posts of anything that relates to the Ranger and i would like to know everything possible since i hear they are coming out in a few days. I would like to know what stats i should put at lvl 15 and 30 and so on.
Also i would like to know if shooting and arrow uses fp or mp or anything since some other games do.
Also will there be an elemental arrow so you switch the arrow your using on differnt monsters?
Also I hear its based on Dex if so why do people say they are slow attackers if that increases your aspd....
Also if people wont mind if you have screenshoots or pictures or movies showing the Ranger Class i would be interested to see them and i gotta sleep soon so hopefully this will bring posts since i just now deleted my Mech to make a Acrobat and lvling him and so on.
I also would like to know where is each npc and what you need to do to go from Vangrant To Acrobat To Ranger
Also i have no Interest in Jester so dont post things about it or replay to this and show it unless its pictures or movies =D
I also wanna know if these are nessory people to have in a party of 3...
You need a tank cough merch then a Healer and do you think this would be a good class to set as the last class? Also this cloak skill does it let you run from a monster when its following you without it chasing you? and can you snipe a land monster from a Broom/Borad withouth some weird glitching making it attack you back(Other lame game exps....)
Hm thanks if you read the whole post and if you have any NEW info or rewording anything plz post ill check the fourms tommorw.
Does the arrow have to get to the tartget before you can shoot another and what is the distance for each shoot?
Also can you show me a printscreen of your ranger?
Also where is the quest located to go Arobat...
Ug, like people really give a damn to read what I say....They'd go like, " zOMG WTFHAX acrobats RuLZ!" and then 3 weeks later, quit acros because they finally realise how bad they are.

Shouldn't we move all of these skills under a section under the main site? I mean people who just glance by think we're a inferior site since we don't have all of the data out there lol
(sorry for using "we" didnt wanna use "you" woulda been rude I mean think about it.... reblace the "we"'s with "you"'s)
