Talk:Arcing Shot

Arcing
+Flatbow anyone? Although it says 150% slower, how does that compare to other "slow" skills, namely Broad Head Arrow? --8765 13:45, 22 September 2006 (CDT)
 * From full range different bow types will take longer to reach their target than others due to their flight time. I would assume this would add to that flight time though I pray that it is modifiable by Read the Wind or Favorable Winds unlike Broad Head Arrow.--Vallen Frostweaver 14:19, 22 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Maybe its not, and maybe thats a good thing. That extra delay could make this a great precastable finisher for R-Spike.Ubermancer 23:39, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

I agree the long flight time would be awsome for spiking.NovaTalon 14:53, 25 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Well I think people would catch on..."Hey they shot arrows way up in the air again!" /prot spirit-Onlyashadow 09:40, 26 September 2006 (CDT)

I would have felt 150% better if this was somehow capable of ending stances. Assassinman 21:57, 27 September 2006 (CDT)

Hitting Behind Obstacles
Did anyone get the chance to see if this arrow could hit targets hiding behind things such as short walls, rocks and what not? I would assume with the slower speed the arrow is forced to arc very high into the sky meaning that a straight line of sight isn't needed. At least that's what I'm thinking. --KeeseroGuan 15:19, 6 October 2006 (CDT)

Now that would make this skill amazingly useful. Especially if it could hit targets that were above you and out of your line of sight (or below you as well). They would have had to do some manipulation for around corners, but it's possible that they did. Rhia Aryx 12:30, 25 October 2006 (CDT)

decent skill. u could do sort of a 1 man spike with the speed of the arrow. u just have to get used to the distance and time taken and at the right time u hit them with everything u got.

Actualy Speed
Reading the skill description, Arcing Shot seems to be very slow, but infact it doesnt appear to move much slower than a regualar shot. BHA must move 200%, cause this is alot faster then Broad. This skill has no spiking value or hitting obstacle-hidden targets. Only good for extra damage and for hitting targets in blocking stances.
 * In my experience, it hits just slow enough to strike with an interrupt at about the exact same time. Definitely not good for Arcing Shot -> Dual Shot -> Interrupt, as I've heard it touted.  Arcing Shot just doesn't move slow enough for that.  Still, it's interesting.  I'd love to see what people come up with.  Merengue 02:33, 30 October 2006 (CST)
 * Spike experiments with that skill were... frustrating. Sounded so awsome at first. But i wonder if it's a bug or if the description is just.. misleading.
