Archery, Bushido, Parry questions

[startle]

I know this is probably a dumb question, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
Whenever you see "parrying" mentioned, am I correct in assuming that NONE of it applies to an Archer? You can't parry with a bow right? And if both of these are true, then having an archer with bushido means that Confidence is NOT used, right?

Half of Confidence works. (the half that doesn't require parrying)

This half: "increases stamina and Hit Point Regeneration rate for 4 seconds upon activation. " ?

If you check the Bushido page on the main Stratics site you'll see a full description of each of the Bushido spells, and it's even up to date.

I was doing some testing and it works well for HPR, but it doesn't have any affect on my stamina increase. Test: I have low stamina and cast confidence when I see one stamina increase tick. Then I count 4 seconds and cast again. Then count 4 seconds and cast again. The increased stamina over that time period is the same rate as not having cast confidence.

Either stamina regen for that is broken or not included. HPR works fine.

Anyone else confirm?

p.s.

I think that main page only is talking about hit point regeneration and not stamina regeneration.

Was never aware it was supposed to increase stamina regen. Increases Stamina on successful parries I think.

Increases Stamina on successful parries I think.

This is correct. HPR is the only use an archer has for Confidence, but don't take it lightly. It's a very good, very fast heal method that can come in very handy when you're fighting the big boys.
