Give Archer a pet wolf sidekick?

Iv'e that it is a bit hard for archer at the beginning and especially before the get moves like arrow knockback(not sure about the name). So I was thinking that an archer with like a pet maybe like a wolf or something would be cool. I don't mean to steal the veno's move though. I think it would just be cool to let them have a single pet or a choice between a couple pets that they would maybe get from a quest. And the pet would be more related to the dog family, like a wolf or something. And maybe have the pets lvl up with you and sort of change form at certain lvls.

I don't want it to turn out like a veno though. Or for archers to just become unstoppable. But like the pet could just like hold of the target for a bit, and give the archer time to run back. So I guess it wouldn't necessarily tank like a veno's pet. But like just hold off or slow down the target. They could even use some of your chi to keep them slowing down the target for a set amount of time.

I want to know what people think about the idea. And maybe their suggestion on my suggestion lol. b:thanks

Also, another suggestion: A whip as a weapon for venos b:victory

Note: I have not played archer before, this is based on what I have heard from some people. but if you guys say its not so then okay. So how about this idea, summons for wizards? Say your ideas! b:thanks

    archer got hi range and a decent build dex will have you kill mobs before hit you... only archers mobs hit u maybe..as for low lvl all have a hard time even venos heal is realy bad at start so need be careful with pet... but if u want a pet i sell you a all class bear ... he dont do much just go around you but he look so cute!!!!b:chuckle

    if you cant stand getting trough the lower lvls roll a other class
    and since you seem to like pets that much roll a veno
    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

    Hm, well, I just guess this game doesnt need a(nother) hunter class...

    Also it would be OP and mostly imba in relation to other classes (especially wizard etc.)

    b:shocked you ppl intimidate me....

    im not complaining about archer. I actually don't even play as an archer... I just heard it was hard and thought of an idea.. b:sad

    But what you said about mages gave me an idea. Why not give mages the ability to summon a monster. Maybe based on the 3 elements they have.

    Note: I do not use archers, wizards or venos.... Im really just waiting for assassin. b:victory

    QQ make me faster b:laugh

    Feeling a neverending "QQ make me faster (smiley)" thread right here b:laugh

    Anyhoo, I know what the thread starter is trying to say but look at it this way, it's only till lvl 19 I think (knockback arrow). So in my opinion, it's not worth implementing, and, yea, wizzies have it much worse.

    Archers have no need for pets. simple as that. we have high range, high crit rate, stuns, slows and knockbacks. in addion we have winged shell that basicly gives us godly defence for 20 seconds (or if the mob does enuf damage to break it befor time) winged shell also restores mp.


    archers, like most classes are a pain to level up past level 19. but after that you get knockback arrow, and with that it becomes possible to kill mobs without them getting a hit on you. it's only at the mid levels did i even see mobs starting to hit me (since alot of them are long ranged attackers).

    ppl who say archers are hard to play simply don't know how to use them, or they are below level 19. a simple combo of take aim+frost arrow+normal+normal+knockback+normal til dead, is normally more than enuf to kill off mobs at lower levels and at higher levels you can use the stun and freeze skills that can allow you to kill a mob before it even makes a move toward you (if your lucky enuf to get several crit hits in anyway.


    archers revolve around the old saying, the best defense is a good offence. we are damage dealers with wizards being the oly ones that can out do us in a contest of damage. we kill off our targets before they can get to us. to give us pets even if it doesn't actually damage the mob, would make archers near unstoppable. i can just picture it now
