Archer Damage

As most people know Archers are fragile like like your grandmas favorite glass vase, hard to catch like a scared chicken that knows you're coming, and sting like a wasp on steroids.
But one thing i don't like about being an archer is the 1/2 damage at close range. Wouldn't arrow being shot through your face hurt just as much at close range if not more than one travelling 30 meters through the air?
Once a mob reaches me it takes forever and a half to kill it without using SKILLS(AKA lightning strike).

So GM's or whoever would it be too much to change the archer 1/2 damage at close range to normal damage, 4/5, or even 3/4 would be nice.

And to any one who got pawned by an archer today please don't take your anger out on me, and go into extreme depth on why this is such a bad idea.

    Archers have range, stun, paralyze, high damage, high crit, moderate survivability (high avoid, normal hp, average def/mdef, and 2 skills capable of saving your ****) and the ability to deal decent magical damage. They're also cheap to level, other than zhenning.


    Yes, lets take away one of the VERY few weaknesses an archer has because some lv4x who doesn't seem to realize the metal and wing skills do full damage at close range. You have the ability to stun, paralyze, slow AND knock back, use it ffs.
    Wondering how much longer these **** packs are going to be around.

    i can't knock back a BMb:cry
    and wtf do u mean moderate survivablility.
    Maybe for 20 seconds with winged shell which isn't to hard for a BM to break, but maybe you didn't know i was also reffering to PvP

    lol...


    Maybe you should learn how to pvp rather than to expect everything to come easy. I have no problems fighting BMs on my own lv45 archer, so I suggest you learn how to use your skills.


    You already have an easy time killing magic users, so deal with the fact that not everyone is easy to kill. Other than that, try getting to a decent level before complaining about your class?

    Meaning this thread is pointless. Just because one low leveled individual sucks at his class doesn't mean anything needs to be changed. I'm just pointing that out.

    Its good as it is, every class have their dissadvanteges and if arches could do always the same, full damage, then other classess would lose their chances to kill them.

    Archers have skills that deal full damage at close range for a reason >.>
