Why have such a difficult hard to play class?

[KY_Jelly]

they have pretty good dps and they can take a hit or two. which mages cant.

its all about knowing how to use your archer, they are a niche class.

archer are harder than mage to play in solo. They can take 1 or 2 hit , but after 3 mob they need to recover.... Mage can kill mobs kitting. Archer dont (if u dont use speed scroll). They will take always 1 or 2 hit even with hit and run. Mobs are too fast. Archer's skill cant kill mob before they can come. If u don't crit of course.
Archer should have high evasion by his side, but dex bonus dont seem work properly.
Archers work great in party.
