How Physiologic Plays PL: A video example on how to be an archer

[Physiologic]

I believe Parth made some crazy tripod to record his ipad...forget what he used exactly but our makeshift camera holders work and they're cheap too.

I'll check that out, I think I'll be able to do the same as you.

Just need to find that camera..

Really nice video, a demonstration of how an archer rocks!

Apart from excellent Physiologic positioning and timing abilities, the video shows two things I learned only after long play:

• Archer, don not be short on health potion. Yes, you can rely on mage healing, but if your style is enough aggressive (and appreciated) it comes a moment in the boss fight or the mobs group approach in which you must burn 2-4 health pot - this allows you to keep the attack position and continue to blast off enemies. If you retreat, save the pots but the rush or the attack dissolves in chaos.

• Most inflicted damage come from skills (and combo). Because you never will have enough INT for a good M/s (and you never should spend money in it), you need a slow, constant mana pot usage. Don't let the stinginess leave your group without support because you finished mana.

Thank you again Physiologic, looking for your next guide !

Yes, you can rely on mage healing

Unless you played with that mage and you trust him, you can NEVER totally rely on a mage, especially if there's only 1 for the whole group.
Don't forget, that except for keeping an eye on everyone's status/health, he has to throw in the occasional combo as well. They're doing double shift, and can sometimes miss a heal. Don't be stingy, and have a sufficient amount of pots, especially right before boss runs or while entering an area with a high concentration of both enemies and traps.


@Phys: depending on the party I'm playing with, I sometimes rush ahead, kill some or most of the mob, and leave the rest "wounded".
My fellows coming in after me just need to finish the job and put the poor mob out of its misery.
This style is quite often used when doing boss runs.
BUT
It also requires some degree of trusting your companions.

I used my iphone 4 to record my ipad. Suprisingly good quality. Go check out the guides in my signature if you don't believe me . I also think my tripod was shown in that thread as well.

Lol were you being sarcastic? The tripod was composed of two toilet paper rolls and a bottle of neutrogena cream.

No not at all! Lol I couldn't open some videos on my phone, so I didn't really see the tripod. Only saw how stable it was taping your iPad from that view

I just can't find a way to video my iPad like that, without having someone actually hold the phone on top, but then it's wobbly. I'll definitely try and look for one soon.

Try putting you iPad against a wall and record. That what I did. The appearance is that it is on flat on the ground. But really its not
