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

[Frenzyn]

Haha I know the skill map looks messy, but the layout is on purpose:



I describe how it's used in section V in my archer guide.

Also, it's better to spam when enemies are around but I do try to Cruel Blast and place Thorn Wall right before a huge mob. Of course it's not perfect placement all the time since I try to attack as fast as possible, but I'm sure mages that have run with me see Nature Strike quite often.

i use the exact layout you use, accept for avian scream.
every skill u have is 6 accept 1 on thorn wall and no avian scream. same layout too.
thanks physio! You have the best idea for this ever.

This pumped me to try out an Archer but I can't get into it once I did.

Dude, I just started and that's how i play, lol! That Cruel Blast combo demands being front so you can lure/mob. No pain, no gain.
Although, I admit that if my party members are lagging (or sleeping...) then I'll step back for the bear.

Ah these vids...something to look back to months later when we say "remember what it was like pre-GCD?"

[MITSUISUN]

Phys, I still want our Ao2/Cyber/Mystery video runs uploaded >.<

[Physiologic]

I went through them and the Cyber one was shoddily recorded and the Mystery vid was cut short bc my camera ran out of batteries...but we can surely make it again

You run without me this time, someone is getting hurtzed! I nominate Mits and a fire trap may be involved, naturally.

[MITSUISUN]

I am bad at video editing, so I am not gonna attempt and let someone else do the camera work so I can properly play with full noobness on.

Actually, Noneo recorded a Stronghold run with Noneo, Mr.Wallace, Moog's mage, DT and myself the other night. Because he wanted to show how skills are not working properly on the device.

Being a Mits and chance to show community on how to noob, I successfully made the party noob with me on the run.

I died, then Mr.Wallace died(gasp), finally DT-bird died (expected). Then I aggroed both King/Queen, fought Queen in room while others take on King in hall. Moog was kind enough to come in and keep me company with queen, although 3 is a crowd I barely touched Queen; group came in to aid after King, then Mr.Wallace or some else said “you guys are not done yet??!!”

Then of course, with 3 bird deaths (2 birds+1bow bear=3bird) I get a pink.

MM cowl but a pink is a pink

[Mr.Wallace]

... then Mr.Wallace or some else said “you guys are not done yet??!!” ...

Hehehe yeah I said that... Always thought you guys were kinda fast, well... :-p

Hope my death is on the video, it was a tragic and beautiful floor slide!

physio, download the app shootme. you can take screenies with it, and after tinkering with it, you can take videos. Android only, (are you using a galaxy S, by any chance?) but it looks a lot more professional and looks tons cleaner.

[Wicked Caccavari]

Inspires me to make an Archer.

[Pokechmp]

Hey do u need a giant video cam to record iPad?

[xRaNdU]

Mannnnn, i wish archers weren't so underpowered in PvP, this makes me really want to make a third char....

[FianDeBoris]

waw . .
really fantastic ,

[WhoIsThis]

Phys, you might want to consider updating this with the new content when you have the time because there has been a substantial rise in difficultly.

[Singleteddy]

As long as this thread has been bumped anyway, I'll point out to experienced players that although the videos and this thread focus on the Sewers, you can play this way even with lower-level archers. Just get max damage gear (which except for Osiris tends to have minimal armor and be purple instead of pink), spam pots, and you can blow through levels and out-damage other party members many, many levels higher than you.

[Orcish]

Do you all know what's the fastest way between two points? Physiologic on a combo elixir!! I've witnessed his awesomeness first hand. Note to Self - Avoid Physiologic in pvp...

[Physiologic]

I was cheating with Combos though

Anyway I do need to update this thread, I did not know it was stickied during my 3 month hiatus so I sort of abandoned it for a while. Will probably post vids of Nuri's Hallow using non-pinks and un-comboed.

[Snub]

I do exactly what you doin your videos except I run with 2000 health potions lol, I just spam them non-stop.

I notice when I’m in a group with more archers and they also do this, we crush (even just one more lvl 60). But sometimes (60% of the time) U get a crap group and people are lazy or just suck and it’s like i do all the work and die 10 times because they don't contribute not to mention I go through pots three times faster.

[Obliterdeath]

If you use an iDevice to play PL you can use an app called Display Recorder. That way you won't have to use a camera with grainy imaging. I've used it. It can be a little sticky sometimes, but it should work out. I'll test it later. It's not free though, unless you jailbreak and use XSellize or whatever they put on YouTube.
