>>>--- Archer fetish thread ----->

First of all I love Archer class so far in FFXIV, however I would also love to see some slight improvements which I think would make playing Archer class even more enjoyable and cooler.

1. ---> I think it would be cool when shooting, to see arrows trail.

2. ---> When arrows hit enemies they should stay in corps for a while during the fight.

3. ---> The sound when preparing arrows just before we shoot (like stretching the bow) would be nice to hear.

6. --->:p

Maybe like a 3 color scheme or something, anything to customize and make variety would be nice.

11. ---> What about Skeleton Bows ?! More in Thm Anathema style? http://ffxiv.zam.com/Im/image/194956

19. ---> Skill that pull archer back, simply increasing distance between target.

20. ---> Square Enix = Archer/Bard, Bowharp = Win.

GIMME GIMME GIMME! Never have I seen such a strange and original concept.

I'm curious what ideas other Archer fans might have in mind :) Most interesting I will add to list and hopefully we might see some of them implemented one glorious day!!

Archers!! Keep ur Bows rdy!!

I love Archer.

ARC is way OP even after 1.18, expect to get beaten with the nerf bat sometime before 1.20 lol

I think it would be cool if... none of those ideas happened.

Why the hate? OP isn't asking for a damage buff or isn't saying anything related to the damage they deal. She/he is just suggesting esthetic changes that she/he would like to see for archers.

Myself I don't play archer, but the arrows staying a bit in the mob could be nice I guess.
