sd dance dance of bladestrom is like a ud for archer
it increase your resistance against bow/crossbow by 90%
but it just run for 15 seconds and have a looooooooooong reuse time

song of windstorm is a good thing, it increase resistance against bow/crossbow by 50% and is a song so it last for 2 minutes and is instant reuse.
no one go out with his sws in siege/clan war on retail
btw archer are still too ubber with 150 fire on a draco bow and an augment that inscrease little more your critical rate, every running archer have 500 critical and crit you for 3-4k (one crit me with 7.3k but i'm in robe)
both opponents with same top buff (cov, all pdef buff, resist fire buff, song and dance)
the joking "nerf" they had for doing less damages when they are near the target is a pure joke

so light the difference is MINIMAL(the range thingie)?could u try to find some exact stats?would be great
question2:resist fire does what?resist the fire enchantment of the DB?

Resist the fire enchantment of the Weapon of your opponents.
A lot of then put 150 Fire Element with Fire Stone (the cheaper) in their weapon, so you should use Fire Protection to avoid some of the extra damage.

the joking "nerf" they had for doing less damages when they are near the target is a pure joke

So it's not really a substantial nerf, is it?

in fact, the "nerf" is not really a nerf
at optimized range, archer do now around 10% more damages than before
optimized range is around 900
but after 900 range, they do same damages as before
and below 900 range, bonus is reduced and below 500 range it become a malus of max 10% damages less (at 40 range)

so it's not really a nerf, for me an archer have to do around 95% less damages at 40 range but NC are dumb
