Don't let the mob get close. ;o0

Yeah don't give up on your archer already. Archers do lotsss of damage as long as the mobs don't get too close, as Lit said.0

The damage an archer does with bows/slings depends on how far away it is from the monster.
At the furthest range, it does the most damage. That's the 100 you're seeing.
But then the mob moves closer because it's mad - and when it gets within the "minimum effective range" your damage is more than halved.
Check the stats on your weapon, minimum effective range is probably around 5. If the monster's close enough to melee hit you, it's probably within the minimum range of your bow. Switch to a sword or something else when it gets that close, and you should hit for better numbers[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Kite!!!
Also when you get frost arrow and knockback arrow, they are your friends0 -
dont worry about it, at higher levels, archers are probably the scarriest class to face since high dps with long charging or having to be upclose like wizards and bms.0

Wizards are worse as they're more fragile, although their attacks deal the same amount of damage whether close or afar. b:pleasedNon-mule alts:

if you have the patience archer gets strong only at much higher levels. things will die before they reach you and then it's all goodElena Costel: I wash my hands of this affair.

I never thought I would read anything about this subject. Archers Sucking....At first I thought it was a typo.
I have only heard really good things about archers so I hope you can get some good reads in there and find out that they are pretty good damage dealers and Player Killers.tatuaje: grinding mobs and zhenning ???

Give wizards a mana shield and I'm sure we could be less squishy earlier on. I don't believe that the developers would intentionally design a class that only gets good when its time to quit playing.
So far PvE is ok but I'm dreading lvl 30 since I become a free kill for anyone who has the time time to target me and roll their face over the keyboard. Shards, +ed gear, earth barrier, LA build or not, I'm a free kill for every class in the game at my level bar none. My question to the developers via the GMs is this:
Why have you made Wizards so unnatractive and downright weak but turn around and give other classes similar kill power?
I could live with being the weakest class in the game If I knew that I had the most firepower aka the traditional glass cannon. The glass cannon loses its purpose when other classes have the same damage output with better survivability. For example Clerics and Venos, the two other mage type classes have just as much killing power if not more (ala phoenix) while having far better survivability. In addition the other ranged class aka Archer is simply a better killing class.
Now enter the myriad of post talking about pre 60, post 80 and at 100. Sorry but all those arguments though reflecting what is have nothing to do with what should be. I should not have to get all the way to level 100 just to be on equal footing with the other classes. That is 99 very hard levels of getting owned.0 -
Don't worry, later you will be able to 1-hit some mobs at the same level as you.
When they become available make sure you get the skills knockback and wings of grace. These will help you keep your distance from the enemies. Also invest in the lightning skills as these do high damage even at close range.

Well, and the fact that your equips at lv 30 aren't godly at all. You probably have all 1 Star items and your dps is beyond fail.
Well, would you rather be ownage at level 30 and find out you suck at level 80+? Or would you rather be crappy at level 30 and find out you start one-shotting other people at lv 80+ with decent gear (not godly, just decent)Position: Professional Forum Troll

Alot of people think wizards suck, but tell you what.
Go to one of those private servers and get to level 100 wizard (in 2 hours?)
sure you can't get your 79 or 100 skills but tell you this.
Archers run from wizards on private servers when they are over level 100.
Then again, it's a private server they mean nothing compared to the real servers but it lets you see what a end game wizard is like.We're MysticAve my name is not Dave

Archers can be good, if they can maintain range, and can avoid getting hit.
Wizards... a typical piece of arcane armor might have 25% of light armor's physical resistance and 150% of light armor's arcane resistance. But shards and physical resistance ornaments are the same for every class, and wizards (and venos) can double their armor's physical resistance. So wizards in arcane gear can beat an archer's physical defense, since they can get double benefit from physical defense shards and physical defense ornaments. And they already have better arcane defenses than archers, and do not lose damage when in melee range (unless they get interrupted).
Of course, archers can get winged shell which can sometimes help. And... and...
... and all classes have strong points and weak points and ideally you should be playing so your weak points do not matter very much and so your strong points help you reach your goals.0 -
You just need to get a few more levels. Yes i will admit early levels archers had it tough we did suck well tbh we all sucked early on lol
(with the exception of the lv 5 veno with herc and phoenix cough cash shop **** :P)
Main thing most all archers do, is get a better weapon then upgrade your armor. Archers are all about killing stuff before they get to you remember this well.
But fear not you will get better, the game will be enjoyable 2 words for you to look forward to DEMON ARCHER XD0
