Rules Update: Master Marksman

Not to be playing Devil's advocate or anything but with this new Steady Shot rule... I foresee a lot of people finding reason for their characters to pick up ranged weapons and even more going into Warrior monk and Acrobat specifically for Yado...

You would still have to count at the same volume as if you are casting.

Yado won't work against Superior attacks, so far as it is a lower list defense

I get that it doesn't work against the Superior attacks. But for those lower list skills and basic attacks which can still be pretty strong due to how low the cost of Ranged Weapon Prof is. Like I said, just playing Devil's advocate here.

If people want to spend $250+ on gear to attempt to utilize a slow-count L.O.S concept, then good on them I suppose.

Trust me... you can crit for 100s with a bow, if you're going to stand there uninterrupted for 20 seconds to do it, then cool.

Also, In my 4 years at KR, I've never seen Yado called once.

I've seen it, twice.

Once was Sam catching arrows OOG.

Once was Volk saving his NPC's hat from a trick shot.

As always, we'll see where things go. The entire intent of Steady Shot was to make archery more viable and safe at the same time, especially at night. There will likely be a bunch of players who experiment with it, but the excitement will die down after a while.

I've called Yado a couple times, but mainly to defend against friends joking around trying to hit me with Nail.

Though I would like to throw in a suggestion for Yado to be added to the defenses that can be combined with Perfect Strike to make it superior.
