For example. It would take a Sniper 10 shots to kill a Gatekeeper at XX Level. That is 30 frames per kill. If would take a Ranger 15 shots to kill a Gatekeeper at the same XX Level as the Sniper. That is still 30 frames per kill. See how easy Nexon could make the classes equal as you can't really do this with any other class. Just a theory I though about. I don't plan on doing any tests or anything, its just something I thought about.

Like Hunters will fire their 2 frames in .5 sec, while Crossbows will fire 2 frames in .6 sec. I dont know. i posted that in the morning and I dont have access to basil atm. I am purely going on the basis that Hunters/Rangers shoot 2 frames per shot, while Crossboman shoot 3 frames per shot. edit: actually i made a hoirrible mistake. according to banned story it takes a Crossbowmen 4 frames not 3 but still the possible caluclations by frames is apparent.

Like Hunters will fire their 2 frames in .5 sec, while Crossbows will fire 2 frames in .6 sec. ....I Think that was me. I said i noticed a pause after my xbowman fired off a shot with a bow, His hand just sat there for a split second, before he fired off another one. I think the last frame is either slower, or actually 2 frames...

Brickmaster Posts: 1,178 Group: Super Mods Member #87 Joined: October 24, 2007	That would be logical. Considering that when you use booster, you go throught the frames faster.

Formula Specialist Posts: 1,635 Group: Super Mods Member #4 Joined: May 9, 2007	By the way, I'm planning on doing some tests in the near (or not-so-near) future. I'm going to do 2 types of testing, one which involves spamming the attack button and one to investigate how long you stand still if you press attack while walking.
