I'm interested in making a char that Distance Damages but before I do I'd like to know which class is the more preferred choice in squads.

    Definitely not a psychic, even on land we still smell like fish.

    It's fun to spot the rare Bowbarian in the wild.

    All joking aside, I like wizzies/archers as "distance damagers" in my squad. Archers have the farthest hitting distance.

    But if I don't need "distance damagers," then I like any of them. Psys are pretty darn good at distance aoes. :D

    Why the rage? It's a draining emotion.

    Archers if I want maxed out range DD.

    I love my wizard for the sheer fun and variation in skills however, and 30m Range is not to be sniffed at. (For Lv11 skills) (Suck it Fish/Veno/Cleric/Mystics!).
    I've quit excluding TW for my faction. But I still hang around to help out those who still enjoy the game under PWEs horrific handling and to have fun in the forums. b:cute
    #Shame about PWEs absolutely craptastic handling of the goons glitching. Remember kids, there's no punishment for breaking the rules here!#
    If you make a valid complaint, your thread will disapear. Don't post it here, post it on other sites where PW can't hide it.

    Archer, because archers rock. Can faceroll at a distance, then APS at point blank, also the only class that can cheaply get to 5.0 base (BM, Sin, and Barb can get 5.0 base, but it requires R8 recast).
    101 Sage Sin*/Archer
    100 Demon BM*/Barb
    96 Demon Cleric/Sage Seeker
    95 Demon Wiz/
    94 Sage Veno
    85 Psy/80 Mystic
    And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

    Depends on your aims. If you want to TW at endgame I would suggest psychic or archer.

    If you just wanna own PVE, I would suggest mystic. My 83 mystic owns PVE. If played right they can be dangerous DDs, support, even healers. Plants for bombs, pets for nukes and buffs, various skills.... Whee!

    Well sins could use claws the same as archers and get 5.0 base, but its really not effect DD so id hardly count it, If you're going archer stick to bow imo and if you wana use fists/claws go HA too.

    thats horrible. a rank 8 vit/str barb with -int gears is far superior to that. and yes... although they're expensive we do get ranged skills >.>

    And what of that was untrue?

    One more level and I'm gonna be 5.0 base Sage Archer with GV's (+10).

    I prefer to use my Sin for APS stuff TBH. I did APS some barbs in the last TW I did on Archer, though, to some amusing effect.

    tbh i never really understood people wanting 5.0 base as a demon. I can understand max interval on a BOW or a Poleblade/hammer/axe. Its not like having anything above a 3.33 base is going to make you hit any harder on spark than you already do, and that seems to be the only "skill" that apsers know these days. I personally think youd be better off dropping the lionheart and ashura's bonuses and get better armors. thats just me though.

    but to answer the original question, i tend to think archers are the most versatile Damage dealers period.

    As a BM it would be quite desirable as demon BM skills are better than their sage counterparts overall. Additionally, the crit bonus from demon weapon masteries stack onto any given weapon.
