Why are Archers So Necessary for Bosses in Sewers???

I like turtles

i don't think its "live if u have a bird, die without" like some AO3 bosses, but i do think it goes alot faster, not as fast as some may say tho...

Oh, it goes plenty fast as some may say, if the birds know what they are doing

But you're right...bosses can be done without a bird, just takes a little longer...Roach may be the only problem child, but I'm sure it can be done.

Yeah, the big killer with archers is our debuffs.

With both roots, that's -50 dodge for just one bird. And we have extremely high hit%. So firstly we almost never miss.

As everyone has pointed out, our break armor stacks. That means almost all of our high damage gets through. So, we always hit and we do most of our full damage potential. Aka, death... portable version.

our break armor stacks.

I know they don't. Any proof with this claim?

[shmoo]

Proof about stacking would be nice indeed.

I would still like it to be 1 bear, 2 pure dex birds, 1 pure int mage, 1 str/int mage as a good party mix.
You have a main tank (str/dex bear), an off-tank/semi-healer (str/int mage), 2 dps, 1 semi-healer/dps (the nuke mage).

Also the combos are really good against bosses especially Nature Strike.
