Hi All,
Well, I'm an Archer and I initially loved it. I even admit I thought we were overpowered at low level, but by the time we get 26+ and the Taos/Wizards are getting their pets, sins are doing nicely with level 3 haste + doubleslash, the warriors are finally getting TDB, I'm starting to feel much slower!
My main problem first of all is MP costs, killing a Minotaur is taking between a MP(L) and a MP(XL), adding buffs like archery haste it's definitely a MP(XL) per kill. I'm in a situation where I seem to be killing 80 minos then having to TT after 15-20 mins. It's also costing a fortune, I can't sustain the MP costs without a break to do something much easier. Tried BC out but I didn't feel we were well placed for killing the smaller mobs quickly, was about 1/3 the speed of an assassin who was using less mp than was dropping, also, in BC the Taos outpace me greatly too!
So, how do you sustain the heavy MP costs, any tips?
Also, things seem slow now, killing in PT takes a long time, it's like a wizard with tbolt that does 50%+ extra damage a shot, but you can't move on to thunderstorm etc. I don't mind it, I'm just surprised some people have got their archers to 40+ already. Anyone doing anything different than the standard one at once in PT/PSC at level 29-32 range?
Edit: Also, that last patch which nerfed the ice shot was really unpleasant, has made it useless! Guess that's how it's supposed to be though :-(
