^ I've met a 66 mage with 1k def ... o.o But that was with 3 person cleric buff haha.
And fighters pretty overpowered with that skill glitch. Without it, they would be called "strong" instead of "overpowered" xD
And haha if you don't like running around, maybe archers aren't the class for you to try out xD I run... 90% of my time soloing LOL. 75% maybe if I'm in a party. Running's a good thing though! With an archer's poor def, their evasion/aim and poison-run tactic are two of the biggest things they have going for them. An archer can solo at least three times more mobs from 51+ running than he can without running.
Compared to (especially axe) fighters, archers may seem a bit weak at first haha.
