    My god wt a **** QQ THREAD.........

    But then again they QQ so much at end game and gms gave them the debuff bow.....

    Maybe the will give u knocback too and make me a good against bms barbs and sins since we have knockback too...b:victoryb:victory

    Hmmm balance well im old scholl player and long time ago archers were the most hated class cause they could 2 3 shoot evryone without we even notice were the arrows came from..

    Well QQ boys now its our time to shine...

    And plss gms go ahead and put knockback working on pvp plx..........b:victory

    i dont think at that high lv u care about that 4,5-5,5m weaken distance when u got melee skills/can use fist/can use metal skill [metal skills dont got 1/2dmg penalty] and got 32-36+ m range.

    in reality an archer would be quite confident at distance from the enemy but when the enemy is only 5 metrs away, and if you were holding 2 sticks and a piece of cotton, no matter how effective the the weapon is on paper, in practice you would be messing your pants.I would say still having 50% effectiveness is more than generous.
    in a battle this would be when you start running or reach for your sword. In PWI you dont die forever, so you might overlook the save your own skin factor, but whoever thought up this feature made the right call.
    in early stages of my wizard i carried a pole spear for when I picked on something with magic resistance or my mana ran out. in history most archers carried swords and dressed light so they could move fast. it would be cool if my barbarian could fire a top notch bow with 80m range and pinpoint accuracy cos he is really strong, and cast super magic spells cos he has a friend who showed him how to do it.
    this is all about reality and that is what is important. yesterday I was a big white tiger with flaming paws flying on the back of a stingray with a little red fox on my back.
    start taking this seriously.

    Wow, can people actually post something usefull on such threads? why do most people behave like kids and come up with " necro necro necro it is not allowed. close it close it, i am forum police i will report this" i mean how old are you? 6 yrs? great...

    come on that guy made some valuid post. yes i understand that close range penalty, it makes sense, but we archers should get 1 skill tree with a sword or something i agree.

    They are removing said penalty on hunter's on wow so I wouldn't be surprised if they do it on here at some point. Honestly it doesn't matter to me I don't pvp and in pve like other's said most mob's don't even get close.

    Archers need a lance tree with dex as main attribute. It only makes sense because they are supposed to be winged elves so they wouldn't use swords or daggers but need longer melee weapons to fight in the air.

    I think archers are well enough as is with the close range thing.

    Let me count the skills I can use without penalty:

    Lightning Strike
    Thunder Shock
    Winged Pledge
    Wingspan
    Thunderous Blast
    and Sage Deadly Shot.

    Not sure on Stormrage or Blood Vow.

    Idk when I would have to use that many lol. I just stun people and get back a few meters. The ranged penalty intuitively teaches you to kite more.

    Just let the necro die. This was a problem with all the new teleport stun BS the melee classes were getting but now there is a good solution with our 2 leaps.
