Archer balancing - Page 2

The fact that they can kite a large group of mobs while inflicting DoT makes them already superior in a PvE situation. Granted you may seem stunted pre-51... you still are pretty powerful as a single target DPS. IMO, Archers (or Archer-like) classes in most MMOs are for end-game.

EDIT: If they think a squishy Archer standing stupidly in place while a Fighter chain stuns you is a 'fair fight' -- they're not very bright. Long range classes are supposed to put distance between their enemies... a basic fact.

yeah I know I'm in love with that level 51 kiting skill. I was playing around with it for fun in level 4x abyss at level 51 and before I new it I leveled. I was like WHAT?!?!!?

I just think they need to make archer slightly more party friendly.. the fact that our DoTs doesn't stack with other archers (so 1 archer is all you need) and one of mage's skill cancels out one of our DoT (I can't remember which skills they were)..

All skills from mages work on all the mobs, while archers have 1/3 of the mobs that wouldn't bleed/poisons/periodic dmg...

It would be nice to make us slightly more party friendly..

The reason why Archers level fast is because they're too busy making sure that 20 or so mobs thirsting after their blood doesn't get just that. No time to look at EXP bar.

Yeah i thought they fixed it too.. but one of the archers were screaming that it's not fixed... so I assumed it's still there.. XD But that's one minor bug that wouldn't make us any more party friendly..

Right now slowly, been impossible to get parties for DT, since they all want mages. Red nix is only about 1% even with the kills, so not really worth it. Might start going to Tear's Marsh for the mats and exp, been at L90 for 2 weeks now. Sucks royally!
