I am so tires of Archers being berated.

Archers only get bad reviews from people who are either not smart enough or skillful enough to play the character.
Archers require intelligence, finesse and balance on the part of the person playing the character.
I agree an archer is not a good character for immature guys that only know how to beat on things with a stick.
I see so many players just stand there toe to toe with the mob and keep shooting and wonder why they lose so many HP.
The only real aspect that does not play well in the game for archers is that they are not faster than the other characters which they should be.
Archers need a speed boost in the game, they don't wear armor and they are lightly built characters.
The fact that a female archer moves at the same slow speed as a pumped up male fighter or an armor clad male cleric is completely ridiculous.
That was just poorly thought out game design in my opinion.
I they ever fix that and make the archer as fast as a hobby horse then the archer would be the strongest character in the game.
Archers should get a speed boost.
And besides the female archer is by far the cutest and sexiest character.
:D

Your just like the poeple you just mentioned. Read my guide and JOIN THE REVOLUTION!

And infact archer's have the highest crit rate. They don't need a boost. The GM's assure us at lvl 60 or so ARCHERS PWN! And I believe them. You should too.

In almost every MMO I've played, archers start bad(ish), but they always end up really strong in the higher levels.

Getting to those higher levels gives you a sense of pride. It may have been a pain to get there, but it's always worth it.

See finally someone that appreciates being an archer. I love being an archer, the fact that you crit so much with the mob coming close to you. I would love to see a guild of just bad azz archers wrecking sh*t.

well, I haven't played archer in this game. But... at least it cant get any worser than flyff rangers.

r.i.p. ranger lvl 70, flyff... long time ago =/

oh.. right ontopic.

I think you're missing the whole idea behind archers. strongest character? They're supposed to shoot mobs while other people are taking hits. If u want to solo much, you should get a build with enough end. If you want as many damge/crits build, just live with it and dont complain about your hp.
