wtf with archer's accuracy?

[lI]

archers have that bad accuracy, after few lvls it even become less and my "wild girl" had 32% at point-blank, just lol

While 3 other mages had 100% hit chance that poor archer couldn't hit anyone and of course was exchanged on 4-th mage as soon as possible

What level and opponent is that?
There's also several ways to increase accuracy, such as Bless buff, Leadership bonus, higher Perception, Precision stance.
Fighting higher level mobs decrease your chance to hit a lot, there're also some mobs, such as Goblins, who seem to have naturally high evasion.

Alternatively there're couple of CC effects which grant you 100% chance to hit. For example Stun, Knockdown, Freeze, Blind, Petrify. Your three wizards should have enough CC to make it happen pretty much permanently.

Accuracy aside, Rangers seem to be insanely strong.

I've never ran into that problem with her at point blank, the only time the accuracy really decreases for me is when I am too far away, or some kind of obstruction is in the way, like smoke or something. Also, did she maybe have blindness at the time? If not then I dunno, maybe buggy.

Were you not increasing her stats correctly? My party is at lvl 12, had Baidotr the whole time, lowest I have ever seen her accuracy is like 25% at medium-long range in her early levels. With ~11 perception and dexterity at this point, her accuracy is consistenly 80%+ unless I am trying a long range shot or something. Also, custom arrows are 100% accuracy for their 15m range, as is offensive spells like ricochet and barrage. Stun/knockdown/frozen arrows that succeed make all future shots 100% at all ranges, so there is that as well.

I really recommend the Precision stance if you have trouble hitting a target. The stance raises the accuracy by 30%

Yeah Mages don't depend on dexterity in this game. The chances of a successful hit mostly comes in ways of status damage (stunn, poision, burn etc) and heavy AP drain. However that doesn't make them any less of a powerhouse.

As far accuracy goes, its not just based on your ranger's skill its also taking into account the opponents dexterity or defense. Depending on what difficulty you are playing, most humanoid enemies (orcs, goblins) generally have a pretty high dexterity. But then I barely use the rangers regular attacks. The Ricoshet, Silent hit and the various elemental and status effect damages don't need an accuracy check.

[Trelares]

Spells can't miss if you aim correctly, the damage portion can only be resisted but will always hit, the secondary effects(frozen, burning, charm...) have a % chance to hit. Weapon attacks can be dodged or blocked. Weapon skills seem to have a higher accuracy than standard attacks but on occassion still don't hit their target.

And to be honest Baidotr was my highest damage dealer at the end of the game. Especially Arrow Spread is crazy powerfull at point blank range.

[The.Spaz.]

Yeah I just mean I never use her standard attacks. Just having a godo stock of elemental arrows (main eletric arrows). But she is very effective and I use her quite often... trying to get my two handed knight some tactical evasive skills. Who here knows which NPC in town has most of the Rogue Skill books?

[Syrris]

In Cyseal, there's a merchant upstairs in the inn who sells rogue and witchcraft books.

[The.Spaz.]

Sweet. Hope I didn't kill her....

[The.Spaz.]

Thanks.
