I dunno anyone elses opinions on this but I feel like there are too many Archer spawns in this game, I mean I went into PSC 6th a few times recently, first set of mobs I am greeted by are 7 Archers and then in every room or lure I get into there's at least 5/6 Archers shooting at me whilst dealing with the melee mobs.

I'd suggest cutting them down a bit as they can be quite brutal when surrounded and being attacked from 7 fronts by Archers simultaneously.

On another note, it's not just based in PSC, I've noticed a huge Archer spawn throughout the game, I dunno if it's intentional or what, but I just find it very annoying to be constantly bombarded with arrows no matter what cave I go into.

Not a rant, just wanted to gauge other peoples opinions and such, I know once you get higher Archers are more of a tickle than anything else.

Archers pain in the backside for mellees, u hit them and they usually lure you into a spawn of mobs aswell as flinching you constanly. But hey ho frustrating, but part of the game i suppose.

They're extremely annoying when they decide to run away from you into a crowd but they're just as easy to deal with as any other monster in that zone, same as being attacked by 7 other monsters (maybe even easier as they are very weak).

If anything they slow down wizzy exp when duo Tstorming which is probably intentional.

This.
Forgot to mention that.

I'd suggest simply cutting their spawns down and replacing them with other mobs like Blademen, Spearmen, as well as other corresponding mobs in each zone, like Ghouls in BDD and Statues in ZT.

They are a ridiculous OP silly class which should never have been put in with little to zero testing, ruined the server atm for the other 4 classes their so far ahead in terms of pvp and damage AND tank potential its a joke.

I don't have a problem. Get ac or agil lol yeah they're annoying but they're needed from time to time.

The only problems I see with them is even with 46ac I get pegged quite often. With 53 hardly ever. Thats quite a lot of ac to cut through. Getting hit by 50 off screen is quite annoying. Its not just archers but all ranged Ingame. A sorc in orcs can ruin your entire hunt if your not careful.

I think they're fine. I just lionroar them all :)

If anything needs changing, it's ranged mobs' range on here. Hits far far off screen.

You only gta go BDD ghoul room and see the wizzies power leveling on the archers lol

95mp per cast on an archer, 1/4 ish chance to kill it, roughly 4x 95mp
its not cheap young man a warrior can kill one in less mp usage and I dare say less hp
However you could take TU away and let us t bolt them to death I mean bolt does a whooping 50damage every 2.5 secs compared to a warriors 300damage in 2 secs a sins 400 and archers 300 or you could compare our kill speed to a support class Tao with 2 levelled skellys poison sfb combo of 150 damage per 2 seconds

oh yeah and a level 42 wiz bag weight can carry 120 mpL and 10hpL few rt's

grass is always greener,



back on topic don't go levelling in king rooms where archers are purposely plentiful or bdd which is a high level zone full of easy accessible bosses

only a lucky few wiz who make gold from strong guilds can afford to hunt bdd tuin and the chance (which is very high) of a fight or being pked disrupting your hunt which is why I personally prefer not going bdd


would you like to know more?

I play as the Archer class, and when dealing with Archer mobs I've found so far that Zuma Archer's and Bone Archers's range is about 3-4 less than the right and left edge of your screen (players' horizontal range is further than vertical), so i disagree that their range is OP, it's just a pain when Archer mobs are below or above you.

Archers can be handled if you understand the game mechanics. They can be kited horizontally and on group hunts they should be dealt with by Ranged players.

The general spawns of archers are quite high, but I suppose that just adds another level of difficulty(?).
The only place the spawns are a bit ridiculous is in the Ghoul and Archer room in BDD. If this is how it is meant to be then that's fine, it's just atm you need a few things to get through; Sun pots, luck, RT's or a TUing wiz!
