Archer balancing
 

well if clerics get an aoe shouldn't archers get a short stun/entangle, or higher DoT's or something......

That would be so cool if we got entangle in the 3x's or something instead of it being a ranger prestige skill.

Level 27 specifically, just like how it is on another version of the game.

yeah it would be cool because i find it impossible to kill a cleric that knows how to heal impossible to kill a fighter that nows how to stun then spam skills but i can ussually handle a mage........ but maybe i just dont know how to play my class :cries:

uhh... yeah, the problem is that dots can't kill so that's ****... I think there should be better balancing before 51...

well the dots not killing isnt such a big problem because you have to take into account that if dots could kill then monster dots would kill to and that wouldnt be cool

You always have to sacrifice something to get something unfortunately.

sigh yeah... sad...

Honestly, archers don't need much more now that OS upped the stones a few months back. Kiting is such a huge advantage that anything else would be overkill.

well maybe i should just start to kite cause when i do kite pkers they go "hehe you noob you have to run to survive" but then again what should i care what the pker says :nahnah:

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.

xD 5x-7x was nice and quick... then 8x starts to suck.. and 90 is just Zzzz...

Helion how do you lvl your 90 archer?

QFT.... Not to mention the fact that FN and Inferno (and iunno what else) NEVER miss. I mean yeah, I know it's magic but, eh.. lol

whoa I thought they fixed that long ago o-o is it the one that has to do with Lightning? or is that another one??

^ OMGYEAH!!!!!!! iLevel90ROFL. with no SC, btw. HOWWWWWWWWWW D;

omg nice mine is 20 and they still havent corrected the glitch...

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..

o crap... os must stop procrastinating

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! :arg:

Ah ok pretty much what I've been doing.. been taking advantage of the bonus EXP in KQ this week.. but I'll miss it badly when it disappears from tonight's patch...

I've been trying to get maybe 2 sets of red nix done a night.. so that's 2% a night.. and after about a month I might reach lv 91 xD

That's provided I dont lag and die.. died twice last night so all I got was two extra uruga scrolls..

You guys can do it :nahnah: get to level 100

one quick question how do you guys do it :zomg: i always get tired of questing and such lol i guess i just have to more patient and to stop procrastinating

I want to get to 95.. that's when we get the new sets of armor and new skills~

I don't really know how I did it.. at once stage I looooved kiting.. I know that in an hr I could get 10% so I just kept grinding like that..

Kingdom quest gives nice chucks of EXP at lower levels..

define chunks... cuz Spider doesnt even gimmie 3%

AT LOW LEVELS~ Spider isn't that low anymore.. maybe up to Robo is low level... or what I'd call lower level anyway..

well, to u it's low rofl

haha exactly XD Yeah what I do is I do my quests while waiting for a kq to start, that way I am constantly getting exp. And getting the party that you grinded with do the kq with you would help:D I tend to grind after I finish my quest for a bit just to squeeze in some exp

hey, great minds think alike! I have the same tactic...
