Autumn Wind Series

[HertogJan]

Whats youre opinion about the Autumn wind series?

I see so many people that dont use it and find it useless, my question now is did you max it? Or did you just skip it cause people told you it was useless?

If you maxed it do you use it? Did you delevel it?

Just curious, cause it has a pretty prominent spot on my skill bar ^^.

I looked at it, doesn't seem that good compared to the other bow skills, so i didn't take it

doesnt do a ton more than antidevil and has no crit increase.

cast time is close enough so that id rather use antidevil, and then use a stronger 350% skill like strongbow or devil arrow.

and id rather crit with that 350% devil arrow skill than with autumn winds 250%. Strongbow's 350% crit im not too worried about since its got a crit increase of its own, though its only 10 it really helps a ton.

though there was an addition of a new autumn wind book at lvl 80. The attack power of it wasnt too phenominal lookin, i know liquidsmooth had it and i only saw him use it once in his pvp vids.
Looked like it did 1k dmg more than antidevil-strike's noncrit, but lets face it ur gonna have to crit to win, and id take the crit 35 increase to do 3k more dmg, dun wanna wait around for an autumn wind's 250% (like antidevil).

I see it as, when I get my 2nd KB combo and stop getting combos I'll use this or Mind Bow for quick follow up damage.

I have autumn wind maxed. Not a great deal of SP invested into it, but for now it payed off. It does a little bit more then Anti-devil, but not significantly much. Don't know what it feels like at lv 80 though. Personally, I don't see it as a waste.

Some might disagree, but AoE grinding can be fun from time to time, even with a bow

for some people the autumn series does more dmg than the arro w combo, but if you were a hybrid then the autumn series would bbbbblllloooowwww

Im a 70:70 hybird, for me, it's certainly not worth it (yes i've maxed it out, but I won't be upping it anymore)

[MrFudge]

imo it seems joymax added it for the people who go full int bow, seeing as its a little bit stronger than antidevil and INTs shouldnt be prayin for crits.

Autumn wind is good to max for grinding. Antidevil+autumn wind > Antidevil+Arrow combo imo.
Saves yourself a bundle o' arrows.

But in pvp, you only wanna use it to own a group of noobs than happen to be lined up in front of you...

I use autumn wind all the time in pvp and in pve.

I hardly use the arrow combo and then the cool down of devil, antidevil and strongbow is so long that I need it. Besides as mentioned before it does decent steady damage. It killed enough people for me allready ^^.

An indeed, I use it during grinding just to save me some arrows.
