It seems archers are able to keep shooting when being hit in melee

this video clearly demonstrates the archer being hit by the Frost Stallion and still being able to shoot.

It seems to be a bug in Rapid Fire mode.

To test it you just need a high enough spec Archer with Rapid Fire and someone hitting it

I killed mobs with rapid fire 3, and i was killed by rangers with rapidfire 3 in mele.
Its true cant rupt.

Seems you pulled off one or two lucky lag shots when the pet missed or was pulled off you. Thread title says that you can shoot in melee, this is not the case from what it seems.

considering you can see the animation and hear the sound for the valkyrn hunter being hit, it doesn't seem like lag or the pet missing

To pull that off you need a really fast bow, capped DEX, buffed DEX, and be specced high in bow. This makes a pure archer spec, therefore I hardly see this as a problem. Besides all, rapidfire eats up endurance by far faster with a lot less dmg output. Now that I've seen happen, though rarely anyone speces that high in bow anymore due to low bow dmg.

the hunter in the video has stated that he has only rapidfire1, so this doesn't just affect rapidfire3.

Oh bwt, no such thing as rapid fire 3, and the hunter didnt say anything about which rapid fire was used. In close look at the video, it seems that only 1 successful rapid fire shot was fired, and only during slight lag spike that caused by frost stallion nuke.

I think its not an archer only thing, rather a general interrupt system thing.
And its not every arrow, its only sometimes.

the hunter in the video

uhm...have i missed something?

rapid fire 3?

there is only rapid fire 1 at level 35
and rapid fire 2 at level 45

Rapid fire afaik can be used when beeing rupted, if u think diferent Neju come with sources that show how rapid fire should be rupted from live ss,stories etc.

you can be rupted during rapid fire

only sureshot mode you can't be rupted by ranged/spells (can always be rupted in melee with archers)

but he is right with the last he said..

I told him to show me a proof, i know archers who shot ppl with rapid fire due to the fast draw time beeing meleed or dd ed , he made a bug thread based on what ? his sayings?
Sureshot came after rapid fire was introduced.

use your brain

why would they introduce an ability that mean you could fire whilst being rupted if Rapid Fire meant you couldn't be rupted?
