I know scouts got some enhancements....fire wizards too ??.......or are they the same ranged dammage dealers they have been.BTW..thanks for the info above.
Firew Wizzy's have always been annoying. They have a level 50 bolt so it is resisted less and does more damage than Elds. I think using the bolts against heavy tanks still isn't a good idea, but if you are after other casters or an archer that gets too close, then fire wizzies do a lot of damage.
Theurgists are also annoying as hell and are the only real pet spam class in the game. They also have good range.
You imply that MoS makes an archer class immune to assassins, but that is not entirely true. An assassin with equal or greater MoS and stealth skills still can approach relatively close, sometimes able to get PA off. Archers are only immune if they have camoflage on at the time.
Wizzards do decent damage, but since the archery change, and they have no nearsight capability, they have become archer target practice.
Theurgs are fotm alb caster and can launch their pets out to get those pesky archers.
That is a total myth. MoS has nothing to do with nulifying detection range. If an assassin has a greater MoS then they can see archers farther off. But, once they start getting closer they will enter the archer's detect stealth range. The archer can still see and shoot the assassin from a good distance. The assassin can "evade" the arrows. However, given that more than one arrow will be released before the distance is closed then the assassin will be poped from steatlh. Once this happens, the assassin is dead.
Archers>assassin in almost every case.
The only time an archer looses: 1. AFK. 2. Sucks more than is believeable. 3. Is too low to have MoS. 4. The assassin uses shadowstrike. Since 4 is on a timer this is not used that often and still the assassin needs to be in an area (such as the Lab) where he can be in a corner and strike without the archer seeing the assassin before the strike goes off.
As far as I have been able to figure from mythic descriptions and my experience, MoS only has no effect in regards to assassins vs assassins. The mos5 detect hidden bubble is 625 with all things being equal. Any inequality in stealth skill results in a detect hidden bubble that is adjusted.
