We all know this weapon(and other colors) The STR requirement of night raven's eye had been adjusted to 135 in previous patch, but until now I still don't see any good reason. 1. No reason for 135 STR, for a weapon completely weaker than dragon cross. 2. This weapon is 5-Speed, the strafe/snipe rate is 7 but not 6 if you don't pause attacking, nothing really better than regular weapons, unlike warriors got flame sword, there is nothing MM can do without speed infusion. 3. If I really use 5-Speed, I don't see a reason to use this instead of pyrope maple crow which needs 0 STR. I just don't think it consistent while bowmasters got Crimson Arclancer with more DEX and HP than dragon bow, the hardest-to-get weapons for MM are so crappy, I'd like to suggest Buffing Night Raven's Eye to 4 attack speed, and other colors higher WA to match dragon cross. Spoiler: Don't click MMs are weak enough please give us some love
don't waste your time, developers hate marksman. They are always forgotten. I guess they changed the requirements to compensate for the changes. This is the original version of the weapon
I'm not sure about GMS originally but I've checked another v83 server's file, the attack speed is 5, in the meantime this source shows 5 as well, as you said they might hate marksmen I don't think the attack speed were ever being buffed On the topic of balancing, 135STR just way too much while other classes' non-dragon weapons mostly don't have or have lower sub stat requirement(warrior's flame sword case even got some minor WA boost from shield), if it's really a "compensation" it still doesn't make sense, night raven's eye is just a pricy trash for now. I know this could be wasting time too f4
I'm speaking independently as a player here. Small buffs and tweaks to the Raven's weapons is something that I am actually interested in exploring and constantly thinking about. The Pyrope Crow seems to be the only comparable weapon (no STR requirement, same speed?, gives +150 HP, but 87 ATK clean.) After looking at dragon shiner cross being a 110 STR requirement, the 135 STR requirement does seem excessive. Also, now speaking as a staff member, please don't think it is a waste of time. I can assure you that your ideas are being heard.
I'd love to see these getting into consideration and endgame territory with the proper tweaks. would be interesting to see faster shooters with maple pyrope/raven's eyes in comparison to slower but hard hitter neschere/dragon shiner cross marksman users.
Moving to closed, as there are considerations already in the most recent discussion on skill changes. https://royals.ms/forum/threads/feedback-request-skill-changes-and-balancing.205730/
