This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
Anyone have any good non-trap based archer builds? Iām curious to try one out.
my Cleric seems to kill and avoid attacks much faster compared to my archer. ._.
at least at the lower levels.
anyway, is swift steps actually useful? it lowers the def tho 
Disclaimer: this response is based in the actual state of the game (read: PVE level up grind).
I donāt think the archer tree is THAT weak. The immense difference in damage capabilities comes from the horrendous design of giving melee AOE auto-attacks.
@cosx774 if what you say becames true about ālate gameā the differences will be even higher, see the reason in the previous paragraph.
@IMC If you chooses to made a class tanky because it will be in close range, you do not give it AOE auto-attack. If you give AOE auto-attack to the tanky class, you do not make it deal more damage than the DPS specialized class single target auto-attack.
Ranged classes have not 100% uptime, since they need to move out constantly to avoid approaching enemies. Melee classes are builded up to mitigate to have a lot better mitigation, giving a considerable higher uptime, what is funny because melees are supposed to be the ones with gap closer problems (ok in SOME bosses archers have a little higher uptime, but just a little since they still need to dodge too).

im on rangerC2 and SP is around~400 
Hereās a couple screenshots (easier to show than to explain). Iām not sure how my damage compares to others around my level so if itās off let me know so I can change up my build.
I can 1-2 shot flying monsters around my level (give or take). But anything that doesnāt fly is 3-8 normal attacks.
I put 1 point into twin arrows because itās sp cost is low and can attack 3 targets before the cooldown kicks in. It does reasonable damage.
Just wondering where do you buy the attributes from? I only know of the ones in Klaipeda.
Oh thanks, I totally didnāt know that you had to buy the skills from your respective class (ie. archer attributes = archer npc, ranger attributes = ranger npc)
Alright got it!
Glad to hear Iām not the only one feeling that Archers are weak. I actually feel pretty good killing random things in the field, but boss fights are miserable. I havenāt had a lot of time to play, so Iām only level 22 so far. Plinking down bosses with my damage reduced to 10 per shot is not fun.
Iāll be rolling some sort of caster soon and hope thatās a better experience. Itās too bad though, because I do enjoy what Iāve seen of the Archer skillset.
Yeah, even with a tank in this game any ranged character still constantly needs to move around or risk getting one shot later in the down the game.
Also @cosx774, in terms of difficulty, I assumed archers would get a high difficulty rating because of their more mechanically intensive nature and need for game sense. Like knowing how to kite (a surprising people donāt know), being observant and predicting bossās attacks, and sp conservation. Technically the difficulty means taking the time and patience to master these skills should give you an equal or higher reward than just lol facetanking things. Not really the case right now. For simplicityās sake, if a bad swordsman is better than a bad archer, that makes sense. Same skill level, one class is harder than the other, harder class is less efficiently played. Right now, a bad swordsman is better than a good archer. Thatās when people worry.

so even after having a very strong archer with a kickass bow. My lvl 30 swordsman that I made a few hours ago is doing more damage and killing at least 5 times faster from mobs his levelā¦

You are wrong. Archer is not weak. Archer is trash.
If you think your archer is strong, soloing well. Watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csOP2wQWdos. Swordman lv 35 can spam aoe attack without sp. And if swordman uses skills, will kill boss after 3-4 combos.
hey why its showing exp near him when he kills monsters i dont have this >_<
because it is from kCBT.
Flat decrease (that diminishes with skill lvl) is unnoticeable. What matters is attribute that gives you +25% to your crit rate and a chance to slow mobs with oblique shot while swift step is active.
Itās good if you level up its attributes, though it only has 2 or 3 charges until it goes on CD.
Good for burst damage, dunno if its worth the points though.
im lvl 180 roque and i can tell you it was horrible to lvl. I lvl solo so never party only for dungeons. The dmg against bosses is a pain pre 100. After lvl 100 it kinda was okay but maybe because i was used to it. PvP hard to tell who is the best but i can tell you if you go ranger c3 you can kill enemys ez with the c3 skill who hits 6 times and crit. Btw Ranger c3 is the best way to go for grinding. Some words about roque i tryed some stuff. Backstab is ridc stronk in pve for example i do against Dullahan a World boss with 1 backstab 40k dmg with the karacha set i can use it 2 times so 80k dmg in 1 sec. it has 10sec cd so HUGE DMG. Now you would think backstab is good in pvp but it is not ppl usally jump all time its rly hard to hit from behind or even face on. So you cant rely on it. Feint is Gold it reduce at lvl 10 the evasion for 100% its stronk against archers and swordies who all go for the lame dex build. Lachymator is strong in pvp ppl who stay in it cant use spells. But the coolest spell is Capture. You can Steal Ground Spells from your enemy or your party member. if you max it you can have 10 spells at the same time.
To sum it up i say archers are the weakest class at the moment (i played all) but imc knows they alrdy buff archer but idk how much.

It is possible the pay off for archers is past lvl 200 somewhere 400, but that is pretty insane because considering how hard itis to level swordie compared to archer it is a joke. Swordies still do insane damage i doubt their damage will magicaly drop at lvl 400 either.
