Buff to Homing Arrow

[Flashlight237]

While its current form works well in PvP (as I have experienced when I got pit-trapped), PvE, not so much as of late apparently. RPGs normally encouraged the smartest strat as opposed to the strongest option. Pretty much what I mean is a Water Pulse is going to damage Golem more than a Hyper Beam would even though Water Pulse is 2.5x weaker.

I personally do not want a buff to the archer's strongest option. Instead, I'll focus on their smartest option: Homing Arrow. I mean come on; Robby took issue with Arrow Hoard being turned into "the Archer's Power Smash" a year ago. If you really think I should want a buff to THAT, you're out of your mind!

Anyway, homing arrow. Buff it's per-level damage boost back to 20% per stage.I think that should be enough in case another branch of Homing Arrow pops up.

Speaking of branches, this one was inspired by the fact that I always carried a Froster's Bow with me in Helmet Heroes. Yeah, it's a pretty low-tier bow, but I can stop any enemy and piercing-arrow them to death with it. Anyhow...

Freezing Seekers

Yep. That should help things out a little.

literally no extra damage, what does this help with pve when all you do is freeze. just move and shoot

Ya realize that freezing reduces the defense of whatever the attack hits, right?

Still not worth the mana consumption at maximum level. 10 mana for a flying orb with 175% lol

whatever is done to homing arrow, itll never be used as much as the hoard

It was legit the most OP thing when it launched; I ain't taking it back THAT far. You really think I want more "THIS IS OP!!!!1!" complaints again?

it was op because of the damage formula, not the skill itself

Feggit, going up to 20% per stage (double what it is now). Not going further because I don't want it to be OP (why do you think I kept every skill's power as conservatively as I do? Y'all know how Robby sticks branches to skills whenever he could.)

And just to make the mana consumption per level less.

Make it so it can atleast kill blizzer if you have 140 archery, fully improved skills, and a full crow bow, spending no more than 15-20 mana to do so. It's almost completely useless for grind now and makes little sense in pvp as a quite useful tool against lag.
