DS, the acronym for "Double Strafe", is a skill in the MMORPG Ragnarok Online used by the ranger based classes, such as the Hunter. It hits a target twice per use. A minimum of 3.9 times based damage is dealt to the target once the skill is mastered. The skill can stack with the elemental property of arrows the ranger is carrying and can exceed 7.5 times base damage per use depending on the targets vulnerabilities. The skill can be chained and cast multiple times a second, and can devastate most targets, including other players and boss monsters. Among its advantages, the skill has extremely low cost consumption, and can be launched from anywhere on the screen. While DS hits two times when fired, the skill does not consume arrows from the ranger as of late 2002 through early January 2005. It is seen as a fault in Ragnarok Online’s mechanics by some when the ranger skill DS does not consume arrows when combined with its very high damage output. It is a possibility that the skill will be patched in the future to consume arrows when used.
"My build is one 1 strength, 99 agility, and 99 dexterity. I can DS a few times a second because of my high attack speed and rarely if ever miss."
"I solo the boss simply by hitting and running with DS."
"Spam DS and charge arrow and most players will die before they can touch you."
