Archers are too strong

Class and Rank
#1

I decided to roll an archer class today after getting fed up with not getting into parties on my swordy main.

Holy smokes this class is the epitome of broken. Early levels you have skills that do a ton of damage and then when you get ranger you get barrage which is literally the most broken skill for levels 20-125. I’m pretty much 1-shotting bosses at my level compared to when I was playing my swordy it’d take ages. And not only that, I hear once I get fletcher I’ll be even MORE op with amazing aoe and single target dps. Where’s the draw-off? There is no risk/reward at all when rolling an archer.

You literally do all the best damage in the game from beginning to the end. There is zero risk, all reward. There are no drawbacks to rolling an archer class.

Elementalists are better endgame wise

I don’t know if you were here during early CBT days, but there was a huge clamor for Archer buffs because they were pretty lackluster and weak then. I’m waiting on F2P to play again but I’d be mighty surprised if Archers are indeed OP now, haha.

yea they are meant to deal the most SINGLE target damage in the game, most AOE damage goes to wizards.

they are meant to be the most damage dealing class in the game and there ARE drawbacks like

  1. Can’t tank at all
  2. lowest synergy with con, they need to deal damage or else useless
  3. They can’t buff allies ( exception is C2 swift step)
  4. Squishy
  5. low sp pool
  6. relies on dodge for survivability
  7. No support classes ( fletcher could pass for support)

please you switched from swordie ( a bruiser made to aggro damage and deal aoe damage) to an archer ( a carry made to kill everything in sight but dies easily)

Yes they are op.korea habe triedbalance them with some nerfs but they are too strong yet.
Fotm are wiz3,ele3,warlock and any combo of musk or canom for a reason

Obviosly, archers and wizards should be the best dps in the game, swordman can tank, and clerics can heal. (Broadly speaking)

#7

except that this game isnt advertised with “theres only 4 classes to choose from”

#8

What was the last game that you played wherein the only purpose of melee types are to be tanks?

@Mayday You will be utterly surprised once you try on the new Archer

The real bomb comes into full effect when they Hit Rank 6 - 7 too

The discussions on steam as well. A much more detailed and longer discussion that hilariously the people defending the broken bow user class are further proving how broken is it in their replies lol.

Few points here. Bow users deal the most dmg PERIOD.

1.they CAN tank. Go full con upgrade +5 youll be just fine. Trust me ive been level 17x with just that build and solo’d instanced dungeon bosses a few times when the pugs broke or all died.

2.lowest con synergy is a joke. warrior has 3.1x cleric has 1.3x wizard has 1.2x archer has 1.1x. So technically you arent wrong about “lowest” but do you really think .1 to .3 more health is really that fkn big a deal when you can basically 1-3 shot EVERYTHING!?

  1. You dont need buffed when you solo kill everything before it sees you while using + NOTHING gear.

4.Reread (no.1

5.grab garbage lv40 gear both a chest piece and panties each have 2 slots for gems. Use easy AF to make lv4 blue gems. sp no longer a problem. But incase your a noob buy cheap pots on auction or ffs sit down for 60seconds and refill after every hour masscreing everything and KSing everyone you pass.

6.Not everyone does. I just face tanked everything and used +5 trash vender bows made it just fine solo’ing to 17x

7.You dont need support when every…ffs just read (no.3 again…
