    Archer is about the only thing that seems to match ALL those criteria. They have limited AOEs, a selection of ranged weapons (Bow, Xbow, Slingshot, and some use claws or fists for close combat). Light Armor makes them overall less squishy than caster classes. And they're wanted for Zhen parties from about 60 up, so 'easy to level (train?)' is taken care of. Grinding before that might be a tad rough if you get ganged up on though.

    you can choose archer like stated before or a hybrid axe/pole bm
    pole for a litle more then melee range and switching to axes for aoes
    and they have a higher survivability then archers

    though seeing what you want i do recommend you take archer but see the bm as an alternative
    its impossible to always do the right thing we all make mistakes i am not different from that
    just try to be a good person

    english isn't my native language so there might be a few spelling/grammatical errors in my posts

    Looking like (MR Do Not Mess With Me)

    Any class, except Venomancers.
    AOE's

    Axe BMs.
    killing stuff from a far (do damage before it get close enough to Bash its brains out)

    Wizard, Venomancer, Archer, Cleric.
    easy to train

    Any class, though I suppose Venomancers get points for soloing and BMs get points for AOEs.
    Not Die easily

    Barb and BM have this on default, but any class can do it if played well.
    uses more than one type of weapon

    Most classes do.
    self surrporrting (mostly)

    Most classes can do this if you're willing to grind the money to buy stuff.
    and can Bash stuff up slose but can hit at a range if needs be.

    Casters and Archers.

    But really, there isn't one class that fills all the criteria.
    If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

    Everyone wants to be different, but when you're different you wish you were normal.

    Honestly I don't think any class meets all that criteria.

    No archers don't really have really good AOE's.

    We have barrage but unless your doing RB or want crazy charm **** then you wont be using it much.

    ......lol......?

    wingspan (i think that's what it's called.... animation is like the cleric razor feathers, with a purple aura and creates purple pillars that look like cleric's wellspring surge on all targets) takes about 1/3 my hp if the opposing archer is higher level than me b:shocked

    i'm going to be flamed down for this..... but roll a HA wizard... your magic is going to be heavily gimped, but you'll have survivability at close range, plus you can switch to a heavy melee weapon when the mobs get close

    an ex-friend of mine rolled one, and he did pretty good in his 20s, magic damage was a bit less than a LA/HA veno, but he hit for some good melee damage, and could take a couple mobs at once

    honestly tho, you're asking for alot, and would be much better off just making some sacrifices on what you want

    Yes but that, thunderous blast, and barrage are our only aoes.

    Wingspan pushes all the mobs away so if you use thunderous blast after it wont do a lot of damage, plus since archers aren't really able to tank many mobs you need a tank to hold aggro and a cleric while you use your two AOE's on the mobs. Unless you want to barrage but if you use barrage then your either gonna run out of MP fast or spend a ton on Charms and/or event pots.



    I'm sure theres a way for archers to AOE but I bet it would take a lot of effort (and probably money)

    Not really. A lot of archers (if built & geared properly) can tank just fine. Remember, Light armor is a mix of Phys and Mag defense, so a boss with a weak phys or magical ranged attack is easy prey. And whereas a melee tank class has to worry about a channeled spell every 10 seconds or so, that's all the archer is concerned with because the boss stays at range.

    It's not a superior method, but possible in certain instances and by no means "suicidal"

    We "can" tank although not as well as a barb or BM.

    I can take a few hits from mobs and If I have a cleric then I'm sure I could handle multiple mobs, but not was well as a BM or Barb.


    The only time I ever really tank is second burring during gamma.

    You have a lot of extra life there, a total of 2,600 or so. The stones only give 10 vitality here. Not to mention all the +12s and some of the items being somewhat hard to get.
