  Forgot to say that crash shot is possible archer's AOE attack.
  I'm looking forward to that too.

  The insane AP requirement on crash shot.. eh.
  At least it's another source of dex.
  Still, though, that thing's going to take me 4 rebirths to get to rank 1 ._.

  The point is that the skill should knockback if it's part of its requirements, or so I would think.
  
  Screams out GLITCH to me.

  
  
  I think this has to do with the amount taken off the enemy's knockback guage per spear throw recharging faster than the launching of subsequent spears. How about having a party mate firebolt the target and then use throwing attack a little after the target gets back up? Alternatively, you can try have 2-3 giants repeatedly hurl spears at the same target. If there's even a small knockback value to each attack, then knockdown should occur.

  The point is that it is stupid how Throwing Attack needs outside assistance for skill training. Yes, every Giant knows how to train Throwing Attack (I hope). Either kill the enemy with melee with Finish to All then kill with Javelin, or have a 2nd character/pet KB the enemy first then quickly shoot a Javelin during their KB animation to KB them.
  
  As I have said, it is impossible to KB an enemy by spamming a 2 Second load time skill. The approximate minimum load time needed for a possible KB is 1.5 seconds in which the 4th hit will KB instead of the 3rd.

  DPS is already pretty high with 2-second charge time, so 1.5 might break the skill, no? They can of course reduce the attack percentage to balance things out but that might ruin the skills purpose which, I think, is to be a respectable ranged attack counterpart for giants that is only inferior to humans' and elves' in terms of speed.
  
  Well, before we jump to any further conclusions, have you only been testing the skill with type of atlatli? I remember there being different attack speeds for different atlatli. I'm too lazy to check though.

  i despise crash shot's use of mana...
  although i didnt notice til i tried to rank it up past A..... considering it gave me Mana as a bonus.
  
  Support shot only affects melee damage (the boost)
  unless my korean is mistaken
  Although i play the test server...(on occasions like these)
• BobYoMeowMeow wrote on 2010-04-22 07:01
  instead of crash shot, they should've done bomb arrows like from twilight princess

  Fffffu-
  Well not too bad, I still deal above average with Smash, it's just freaking slow to load.
  
  Anyways, anyone wanna double confirm this?
• Aubog007 wrote on 2010-04-22 07:09
  ill post screenshots of crash shot and support shot details.
  Whoever can fully read it feel free.

  The giant remodel looks awesome. I'd actually consider rebirthing my giant back into a male when we get the update.
  
  And yay for support shot getting revived. This whole time, I thought devCAT was going to go on pretending the skill never existed and not bother to make it function properly.

  w-wait..
  
  So giants get their own vito crux? because thats what that armor looks like...
  And the improvement to taunt does what?
