didn't thought of that. but I created a duel hero specialized in imperial griffins... maeve.
griffins with initiative 31 and morale 5 aren't bad

Irina buffs griffins, not Maeve. Maeve improves Haste spell.

You can only fit 5 griffins on the field, though.

I have to say something for master hunter. Since many have ignored the fact that their single shot damage potential is not half of AA's.

=====================
1.If we set aside AA's ability to ignore range penalty, and half defense ability(and they have one more Att), both have 50% chance to perform a luck shot

MH's damage potential should be
Damage 5~8

((6.5 * 0.5) + (13 * 0.5)) * 2 shot=19.5

AA's damage potential should be
Damage 8~9

(8.5 * 0.5) + (17 * 0.5) = 12.75

So in close range, MH seems to be better.
=======================
2. Put range penalty into consideration:

MH's damage is halfed 19.5 /2 = 9.75

compared to AA still 12.75
=======================
3. Now, if there's any damage modifier(like the claw, Frenzy...)

Suppose the modifier is 2, without range penalty

MH's damage potential should be
Damage 7~10

((8.5 * 0.5) + (17 * 0.5)) * 2 shot=25.5

with range penalty 25.5 /2 = 12.75

AA's damage potential should be
Damage 10~11

(10.5 * 0.5) + (21 * 0.5) = 15.75

Now we can see MH benefit better from damage modifier (and Soldier's Luck to trigger warding arrow)
=========================

Put defense reducing ability and one more attack, AA surely beats here.

But with a Unihorn bow, things might totally change. Put in Warding arrow is handy sometimes.

Oh, forget to mention, from my previous post, I think Atheist do have a point. MH do benefit more from luck for their double shots.

No it doesn't. Check the math before posting nonsense.

it depends how you see it. if you think reliability, maybe master hunters are more reliable than arcane archers, because you'll deal 150% damage most of the time (with chance 5)

There's no problem with voicing an opinion on a useful topic. If this was some 4 year-old thread concerning ''Hey, who likes pie?'', it would be spam. Considering this is a 2-week old thread about the overpowered Arcane Archer, any opinion is valid. Maybe Razor cut a bit too deep with his last shave, or whatever. I don't consider it spam.

There is no problem, as vexon mentioned it was rather inappropriate to drive away a newbie for posting ontopic on a recent thread. No big deal, think nothing of it.

Edited by atheist at 17:31, 23 Aug 2008.

The debate is far from over and there is no consensus : the current poll as of today shows only 61% of respondents think that AA > MH. I'm happy that the 3.1 patch did not take into consideration the complain of some players that AA is overpowered when they are clearly very well balanced. Learn to play with MH and stop complaints. Victory to Master Hunter! AA remains unchanged in patch 3.1!

61 % means a little more then flipping a coin! Let me make that clearer : from 10 people, only 6 think AA is better compared to 4. So learn to play, again. A nice day to you all.

Again, you're completely wrong. Only 24% voted that they are fine, less than a quarter!

There were two more silly options which some people voted in joke

Well it's pretty obvious that those who voted for master hunters don't know how to play H5.
