With maxed Strafe, each arrow does 100% damage. In that case, you add
another 100% per critical shot. However, it's not two times the damage,
you just add an extra 100%. On average that would be 140% per arrow, so
a total of 560%.
I repeat, critical shot IS NOT two times your damage.

/ 13. Double shot VS Arrow blow \
\_______________________________/
Double shot:
+Higher average damage
-Less knockback
Arrow blow:
+More knockback
-Lower average damage
Some people think double shot and arrow blow have the same average damage, but
once again, these people don't know how critical shot is calculated. Let's say
we have maxed critical, maxed double shot, and maxed arrow blow.
Double shot average:
130% + 40%(Critical shot average)
+
130% + 40%
That means 340% average.
Arrow blow average:
260% + 40%(Critical shot average)
That means 300% average
Therefore, 340% VS 300%. Monster defense is applied twice with double shot and
only once with arrow blow. The average of double shot is still a bit higher.
Maximum damage with double shot: 460%
arrow blow: 360%
Even if double shot IS stronger, some people go with arrow blow because of it's
knockback ability. Some monsters need over 1500 damage to knockback, you can't
do this with double shot until you are high leveled.
Chances to get critical:
Double shot:
No arrows: 36%
1 arrow: 48%
2 arrows: 16%
Arrow blow:
No arrow: 60%
1 arrow: 40%
Chances to get at least 1 critical hit with double shot: 64%
with arrow blow: 40%

/ 14. Jump shooting \
\___________________/
Jump shooting is when you attack while jumping. It can be very hard to do at
first. You have to press your attack button AND your jump button at the very
same time. It can even be done with skills. It's mostly used to reduce the
casting delay. If you want to kill a snail on your way for instance, normally,
you would stop, attack it, and continue. With jump shooting, you can shoot it
without EVER stopping. It can make you level a bit faster.
You may have a lot of problems to do it properly. Here's an easy way to do it.
First, set your jump and attack on two close keys of your keyboard. Then, press
them at the same time with the same finger. It should work most of the time.
Example: Set your Double shot to the B key and your jump to the Space key. With
your left index, press both the B and the space bar at the same time.

I hope this guide helped you to build a good archer. Hopefully you liked it as
much as I liked writing it.

If the information gets in the guide, you will be properly credited for it.
There's still some information I need to complete this guide. I would like some
more high level training spots, some more training tips, and of course, some
skill builds. These will come in later updates.
