Archer

-Its like a wiz without magichshield fires frostcrunch from his bow

-I mean hell, can't you just make staticshot a 3x3 single shot spell or at least double of the damage its done ?


-TS require 2 wiz yes we understand that, but did you think about what can 2 archer do? staticshot? don't even think about it now. Spritshot? 1 sin would beat 2 spritshot archer.

-Yea alot of tao/warr/sin/wiz are gonna come tell us stop crying blah blah, but we are not, we are only talking the truth.

-Face the fact, was staticshot really an op spell? It will be op if you hit the requirements(only 2 major targets stand close within 4feet), also you have to pray this didnt bounce on mobs or newbies or you either get chased or went red(samething with wiz firewall, its op in pvp but we hardly see wiz use them).

-Everyone wants their class be strong(but not op), becuase most of the times they could find a sense of honor from it. Im talking about Flamesword, Magicshield,
Reincarnation/Curse. But archer? I piss in my pants when a sin running toward to me in a group fight(dam right i am the one who lives in California with over 100ping, not in UK )

-Im not talking about 1vs1 pvp balance(its very wrong if its well balanced), Im talking about team fights, guild fights. And I dont want to be the wiz

This sounds like another rant without reading the 1.5.1 patch notes...

Archer is fine, no one has arrow barrage yet and I suspect every other class will moan once an archer obtains it.

Wizards don't use firewall because it kills mana and doesn't last on the ground very long, Pot / bag weight issue.

On other servers I use to have Magic shield on all the time, but on here it's more of an after thought as at lvl 3 it doesn't last very long. The delay on casing it gives melee a free hit and its gone again. hoping it will become stronger with higher MC.

Archers should run until melee get bored of chasing them and change target, then snipe from the side line I guess.

Sigh.

Why do people not realise this is the real problem they're having, and not the fact their class is ****? I constantly see moans about their class from, ironically, the slow people.

If you're slow ingame on a caster, you're as good as dead or a free kill to those with higher speed.

I would say he stands at the back and places his decoy the other side of the screen. When someone comes close he uses decoy. Why would you waste mp on magic shield wen you have decoy anyway?

if you are going to get a skill that allows you to tank mobs you get rid of the skill that helps you escape from Them.

if you are slow for whatever reason you may as well just rt/tt/log from the ones with the pcs set up/tweaked to play mir. Most pvp is about speed not skill so just accept this fact and leave the fight if its the speedy types on your screen. Better not to die and possibly drop them stuff.

I take off my torch, decoy and hide in a corner and pretend I'm shooting arrows ;)

Archers are OP, simple. Im a tao, I have 400ping cut down from 500 with WTfast - I still run circles around people and iv not lost many battles, and its also its 4/5/6v1 half the time. me being the one I still splat em or make em rt. Ping means nothing. Skill means something. Then u get the odd say umm, oh yeah everyone that gets raped by a tao saying that we wouldn't win without skeles, if we didn't have skeles we would be complaining, moral of it is, your static shot still bounces and hurts, put ur decoy next to people, guaranteed fights wil be around mobs, you will bounce a lot. stop ya bitching
