Make Archer's Melee Attack Have A Bigger Aoe On Hit (like Other Melee Attacks)

While this change might make melee archer viable, Salted confirmed that it will not be as big as other melee attacks.


I propose that the melee radius on hit of an arrow be the same as all other classes to make *sure* that melee archer is viable, especially since Intelligence builds seem to have taken a hit in 1.19.

 

I'd wait after the update to see how it is. Going from hitting 1 mob at a time to multiple is already a huge step for melee archer anyway. I think archer will still be viable; especially since defense was fixed awhile ago and it was really only arrow shield that got nerfed, which was justifiable in some ways.

 

Maybe because an arrow is kinda small so it's more realistic ?

 

Wait a second


What's this about MELEE archer!!

 

You mean the defense part or the fact that archer can now hit multiple targets at once?

 

Both I suppose, please tell me more Doc

 

As of June 29th, defense got patched from being additive to being multiplicative. This means that archer can now achieve defense as high as warrior. YYGaymer demonstrated this in this thread:

And in the 1.19 change log, Salted said that archers can now hit multiple enemies at once.

 

This has probably been suggested before, but I think archer should have a piercing attack, sort of like mage but more single target in a line sort of thing

 

Basically the piercing enchant. I think this could work, maybe a Major ID?

 

Arrows now have like a two block radius as of 1.19
