Melee VS Archer

Agree with Zenga and Relic

[zenga]

Wise words father gurnisson!

The reason Archers has a nice start is becaus skill doesn't matter squat down at level 1-25ish, gear means so much more there, and Archer stuff does high damage quick.

I don't deny it. But as it is now, my damage hasn't increased in 20 levels, in fact it just decreased a huge bit, alto the bonus speed I got from it made it worth... But not by much.

make casters better. plztnxkbai :O

(sorry, had to throw that one in there)

have to throw this out there. takes me about 5 to 10 times longer to solo a mob then it does a melee or archer. in PvP, dont stand a chance.

however, do you hear me sitting here and complaining about it?

okay, archers are better in the beginning.
melees are better in the middle.
and i am hoping, that by the end, casters will have a fighting chance.

My point too, stop whining around you slashers and archers and whatnot.. play a caster and you know how good you are actualy.

OFCOURSE all archers want to make themselves stronger because who is gonna say they are too strong? And honestly like Jon said choose your class wisely and if you are unhappy reroll. You have tons of epics and money so it will take you 1/3rd the time it took you before.

Is that a challenge?

i wonder how much more dmg or how crappy melee chars would be without parry duel weirld or double attack implemented, once again u guys blow everything out of proportion. most archers dont want to be more "powerful" we want our skills and we want epic weapons like melee weapons, a lvl 42 piercer is good until app lvl 60, a lvl 28 epic slasher is good till almost lvl 43. an epic lvl 39 bow is good until lvl 45, an epic lvl 58 bow is good until lvl 64, even the epic 25 bow is only good until lvl 36. arrows and quivers are the same deal.

i know its hard to play a caster, personally i think it would be easier to cheat your way there nothing stops a caster from picking up a bow/arrow or melee weapons for the first 90 lvls especially considering that archers and casters use very similar stats. yes its more cost intensive to lvl up archery and magic, but hey what else would u do with your combats besides pets and over crit :P

Ok, my turn again I guess, Jon, what lvl was the weapons you were using in our duel?? I beleive it was the lvl 28 Z-claws and you were duel weilding. I was using the lvl 39 bow arrow and quiver. That is a 11 lvl differance in weapons first off. Second off. I have an extreamly strong archer build for my lvl. I have almost any stat I use my lvl or higher. Even magic stats ie. green, white, red, black, grey magic. Last point on this is I have a bit more then 1100 health and I pretty much only use healing gems this far. I had less then 100 hp when I fought you the first time. The other 2 was a total fluke. I got lucky with my trishots. The first one I got a heavy tri at the beginning. The second one I got 2 trishots. Now, how often does that ever happen?? To tell you the truth, I have never got that lucky until I dueled you. I very rarely get 2 tris against a mob. 1 is even rare. How many times to melee fighters get a tri hit or a quad hit?? I have noticed it to be much more often. Now Gurnison, Archers do not lvl any faster then a melee fighter. I have 1 of each and they lvl at the same speed. That is a false acusation there. We have 2 skills that have bonuses and 2 skills that have penalties as does almost every class that I know of. That isn't even an arguement there.

I've noticed something here- some of the most avid posters are nowhere near L60. If you're not L60, you have no business discussing anything here, because you are out of your element.

If I hadn't spent so much time and money on time cards getting to 60, I would reroll. However, archers at 60 are awful. If you're a low level archer, reroll now. There, I just saved you a lot of time.

Depends what you consider low lvl. I am half way to lvl 60, lol
