No one wants Archer at PVE squads (like FB ..)
i feel that nobody need's me as much the other races
im thinking to delete my 62 archer![:\](https://forum.arcgames.com/pwi/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
its so ...
pls somone bring me some light0 -
nice double post bro. generally, this is true, seeing as the number of huge cash investors in the game is rising, leading to a large amount of 5.0 attackspeed characters. this kind of makes archers a joke. you shouldn't be discouraged by this though, because if you have fun with a character, no one should stop you from playing it. if archer is getting to be not so fun, take a break,make a new dude, etc. find something else you might enjoy instead.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
advice to fledgling archers:
Going sage is like drunken sex, at first she may look good, but when you wake up the next morning; you'll look at her and go WHAT HAVE I DONE.0 -

The guy is level 62... its not cause hes out damaged by 5aps... its most likely he sucks. just how many -int can a 6x (up to 8x) stack anyways. fist suck major balls anything pre 89/95/99. At that level... only a sin can potentially out damage an archer. but an archer will still have faster kill speed just cause of sharp.1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.

W & C is lvl 69.
But yeah, OP you might want to consider how well you work within squad dynamics. Are you always stealing aggro? Are you playing the hero? AFK attacking boss?[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

too many barbs dont know how to keep aggro anymore (see post in barb section) I been stealing aggro recently alot with those sucky claws kiyoshi was talkin abt.
Edit this is on my bm not cleric b:chuckle[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Indeed. I have a level 70 Archer in my guild. He's finally understanding how good of a barb we have, now. He ran with a lvl 96 barb and was constantly stealing aggro. However, when he runs with our level 6X barb, he CAN'T steal aggro. We're doing everything we can to keep him a solid barb.
Conclusion : Archers aren't becoming useless, but Barbs are becoming less likely to manage their aggro properly. Choice between an archer and another BM, I would take the archer. STA, range, and knockbacks would give me time to get to the archer and/or anyone they are protecting. Failbarbs just fail hard. =([SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Perhaps the OP should actually get some experience before he attempts to make his opinions known. Making a fool of yourself isn't ever a great thing. And QQing just pisses me off, honestly.
Archers = FC essentialness.
And really, it's not completely the barb's fault for not being able to hold aggro. Archers, being damage dealers, should be able to control their output. Don't constantly spark, use DoTs once ina while. You know, actually play your class well.On indefinite hiatus

I love having archers in my squad because of BoA, STA, and that pretty magic spinny attack that makes me smile whenever I see it

@OP: Maybe you should learn your class more, people DO want archers in squads. I mean, archers are amazing when you get to know how to play them.
I my metal skills, BOA(People with think your awesome in FC runs doing that) and STA are some of the best skills we also hash with ush. [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]<3 by Silvy

It's only Cleric and DDs at 90s, unless the party is horribly undergeared (likely the case from FC overdose).0 -

lmao dont make me laugh then only class that is really a need for FC is the Clerics, pretty much u can do whatever set up u want now days then only class u really need is a cleric. cant find a BM get a barbie and a psy (or 2 psys) cant get a veno get a sin, cant get a barb get 2 bms even 1 can do the trick with a sin and BP ofc. in fact the faster run i'd ever done was 2bms 2 sins cleric and me (archer)... so yea..0 -

Nope.
I've got by with just wizzy heals. I've also done just fine with no heals.
FC's a joke at 100.Some people risk to employ me
Some people live to destroy me

Why is everyone so harsh on the opening poster? (S)he stated that (s)he is a level 62 archer, and in his/her experience so far indicates that getting into squads is difficult for an archer. This is a perfectly valid opinion to have, considering that level.
How is the original poster supposed to know about FF runs at that current level? Why are you criticizing the poster for having an opinion at that level? Are level 62 chars unable give an opinion?
I remember back in my factionless days when getting into random TT and Boss squads to be an incredible pain, as an archer.0 -

mmm didnt think about that ofc im not 100 yet i dont like the nurf so far in the squads we do 99- we r needing clerics, other than that just DDs

I think its hard for all DD-classes to get parties for BH/bosses/FBs/TT and such at lower and mid-levels. Its not archer specific.
Mainly because you always need a barb and sometimes even 2 clerics. Its 6 DD classes and 3-4 spots left, so it never adds up. Its also way more people playing DD-classes than tanks/clerics so it will always be a bit hard to get your stuff done as archer.
Getting into parties at 99+ is more about gear than class really.0 -

You are the one i lol at....
But ok at 90s it can be done with a good bm but let me tell u this:
Bm needs to have amazing refines to have great hp( waste on money on tt90 cause now being 99 is not a hard thing)
He will not have agro like a barb, making a fc a big risk for the others...
He will no pull more mobs than a barb making fc looooooonnnggerrrrr..
No squad member will have more hp, no barb no hp buff making, the fc again more risky...(not to mention titans buff on mellle class)
So overall u wrongb:bye
OFC at 95+ with all the event **** this will all be diferent...b:bye0 -

1-not epic refines/gear needed for a bm to do the pulls. the usual (poor players refines) +2 - +3 and flawless, shards that a bm should have in his 90 set anyways.
2-not epic HP need for FC LOL! marrows > HP, that + crab meat + charm. did it with a 4.9K 94 BM yesterday (4.9K HP!!?? zomg dat gai should haz epics gearrrs with epicsss refinez)
3-Bm stun (get agro) 3 spark (if needed) + AM lol even AD everything is going to be dead in less than 4 secs anyways.
4-nobody need "extra HP" for a FC after 90 lawl, bm have 2 running skills that + holy path + cleric shield + stun = win. again the mobs r going to die before the stun is off
overall u sir r wrong or have terribad friends to fc with.....with terribad 7X gears.
kkthnxbye and keep failing

I think the fastest most efficient FC squads I went with after lvl 95 consisted of a barb OR a cleric, and the rest DD. If you have a barb with ToP there was no need for a cleric so you might as well just get another DD class. On the other hand if you had a cleric there was no reason to have a barb as the BMs could easily do the pulling. The Barb AOE aggro isn't necessary when everything dies in 2 seconds. So unless the barb had high APS with fists there wasn't much use for one.0

The OP made a blunt statement that NOBODY needs archers for PvE squads. At all. Period. Then proceeded to contemplate deleting his or her archer.
I don't mean to come off as harsh, but I just get agitated when people make blanket statements and state them as fact before they have an adequate understanding of the entire situation.On indefinite hiatus0 -
