    I've got an Archer with R8, Nirvana, and TT99 gear. Pants, wrists, cape, all +10 with Vit shards, boots +9 with **** shards (ran ou tof funds), and TBH, I agree.

    Archers do very high peak physical damage, partly to make up for their low APS.

    Archers have crit, and on pure builds, a lot of power behind each unit of shot they expend. They have a ranged stun, one that can last up to 5 seconds, and a freeze. This means good crowd control.

    The worst thing is, there isn't an easy way to fix Archers. What are you gonna do, reduce overall damage? Then the class would be useless. Reduce crit? Same thing.

    It's bad enough that Archers can't have Zerk, but it's worse that Sins can. >_>

    archers are far from overpowered..

    a r9 +10 archer could not 1 shot my wiz which is wearing tt90 and r8 with 4.5k hp and 6k p def
    even though a r9 +10 psy was able to hit me for over 10k

    saying archers are OP only serves to say how they are driven to get R9 out of necessity, because then ALL R9 are OP

    I don't have R9, nor do I plan on getting it any time soon.

    Archers may not one shot me but they shoot off several arrows very fast. Archers are the class that kills me most. Half the time I can be getting shot from half way across the screeen while fighting someone else and I die before I can even turn around to see whats hitting me. When I look in my dmg log it's a freaking archer hitting me. If I do get turned around and ready to hit him he just steaths and jumps on me. I'm all +10 final cast rank 9, i'm only missing the josd and a couple refines at this point.

    If archers should get any stronger then they need a range nerf.

    But that is a target you're not facing, sure if a wiz or any other class would hit an archer from behind, do you think he has any chance of surviving? Most likely not.. Archer is only good when you cant see it, its a class that can easily get 1 shot or chased away.

    Mostly when an archer kills a equally geared target like a R999 toon with good refine and sharding is thanks to someone supporting that archer cus the archer itself isn't hitting hard enough to kill it in short time.
