... that we archers encounter the same problem as wizards-- the theft of aggro!

Just been running some dungeons lately and figuring out ways to not take aggro. No one wants an archer in a dungeon! I've mostly just been staying back, delayed attacking, and using the regular attacks as the guides have stated, but occasionally a critical hit gets thrown into the mix and screws everything up. xD

Any other measures you experienced archers take to avoid these problems?

My archer is a pure dex build, by the way.

    I was going to answer you and then a memory occurred to me and I went to the pwi archer forum, and I found this on the first page there: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=968662

    It had the word "aggro" in the the title, and I think that it might be of interest to you?

    Normal attacks and trying to evade the usage of skills which might cause a lot of damage ( such as the metal attacks on wood mobs/bosses ). Not using the Jones blessings while fighting the boss, waiting for the tank to get some aggro before attacking, evading double sparks until the boss is down to around 100 K hp, using lower lvl weapon to deal lower damage, breaking attacks after a few crits in a row. This is everything that came up in my mind.

    Ah, that thread was at the bottom, but I see it now-- silly me. Its mostly along the lines of what I was looking for, thanks.

    OP: You're low-level; reroll while you still can.
