i was thinking of making an archer, but i heard their damage output is very low if monster is close to you, is there a way to equipt melee weapons fast to finish of the monster, or do archers need to kite? cuz kite in this game is kinda hard.



oh and btw

    stun, paralyse, run, shoot, repeat, don't let them get close to u. You won't have enough str to wield high damage melee weapons anyways. the output from melee weapons 30 lvls lower than you is lower than your bow at close range.

    you need some useful bow for the first like 20 lvls, until you get knockback, with that you can normally kill any mob without it touching you (if you dont miss knockback).

    You may kite, but that takes a bit of time and well, it's annoying.

    Later, as soon as you have paralyze and stunshot, you shouldn't have much of a problem, aside from magic/ranged mobs later on, but everyone gets hit there.

    Place the melee weapon's icon in the hot-key bar.

    I never had any problems when they get close... maybe cause i use HP charm lolz
    Anyway, untill you get the first knockback there is no reason to run... and when you get the knockback skill you will love Archer even more b:pleased

    And later like someone else said a stunn skill :D

    If you didnt yet, then its about time you made a macro that use your skills in a "combo-chain"..
    It saved my azz a few times with it & you can make one for slow and one for the pure nuke dmg..

    If its a "elite / boss" then you have to ruuun lol but those are for groups and not solo :p

    If so, then your macro will help alot :O thats all im gonna say about macro b:victory
    This game is getting more & more Hostility each day.
