History repeats itself: Time for the Great Archer Nerf of 2011

Show me these screenshots you speak of because they sound photoshopped and please post the link to the video. I'm not going to just believe these crazy claims without proof, and yes I do know how to play my main class. I just think you're mad because your CON is pretty useless now compared to a THM.

Like I said before wait for the Job System before you go saying nerf this, nerf that.

Peregrine is a very rude troll, please ignore him, thanks ^_^

Oh look. An archer. Wonder why you want archer to stay as it is.

I just watched an archer do 3k damage in one weaponskill on youtube. I have a screenshot of an archer doing 3k damage on dodore. Do YOU know how archer works? cause...everyone else flocking to it does.

And even if that all is true, a Lancer can STILL do more damage with a Doomspike II combination

Please go play WOW and post on their forums, your attitude and personality belongs there, not here. We do not need people like you here, you're rude and attack people, you post nothing intelligent and you act like everything you say is right and 100% true. You post in an offensive non-constructive manner that just screams "LETS START AN ARGUMENT!" instead of "lets discuss this like real adults/intelligent humans".

Please leave or post in a respectful manner and I(and others) will have an actual discussion about archers with you.

That's a light shot, by the way.

I will agree that Archer is the best DD but why shouldn't it be. We can't are way to squishy compared to GLA, PUG, MRD and LNC is a TP machine so if they nerf Archer what has it got?

[Isaaru]

HAHAHAHAHAH that was a r37 mob. You obviously don't know how damage works in this game either.

Yeah, archer should be better, but not a ton better. I only feel "broken" when fighting weak mobs, because of how much burst damage I can do. On hard mobs/higher level mobs/NM's my damage isn't that much higher, plus we don't even have a job system yet, 99% of the jobs are completely broken, and pug/mrd aren't well designed at all. None of the jobs are really well designed, we can't change things so early. We need them to actually add the job system and fix the armory system + stat system and combat system before we think of ANYTHING as overpowered or underpowered.

[Isaaru]

Yup, Peregrine looks like a full buffed Light Shot. Not surprised.

EDIT: If you knew how Archer worked you'd be complaining about Bloodletter damage on Great Buffalo and Uraeus lol

[JayvirDeforte]

Wow... way to show you know next to nothing about Archer Peregrine. Take your wand and lurk somewhere else. Don't condemn a class because you know absolutely nothing about it, and you've sufficiently proved it
