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

[Aion]

If they make the raid content coming up tough, there will be no lack of videos for you to browse and see how instantly imbred endgame becomes the minute it gets tough in a game where everyone has already flocked to imbalance. 6 archers. 5 thaumaturges. 8 thaumaturges. Three thaumaturges beating easily what a balanced team of 8 struggles on. Archers and thaumaturges telling pugs to sit in the corner, charging them 600k to win the fight for him.

Just sit there and don't do anything. we do this all the time for gim...players.

Great Buffalo are in game. Video please.

G-g-g-g-golly Gee what do you think 8 thaumaturges with punishing barbs and provoke c-c-c-could do to a mob 8 times more powerful than the buffalo?

Answer: Kill it faster.

Point is, any archer can take it like a thaumaturge for long enough to get it onto another ranger if the reward is high enough. All it takes is the right abilities. You all act like utsusemi is what drove rangerburns when it's not. It's the ability of people more creative than you are to do what it takes to make it happen. Great buffalo only has 32,000 HP. How fast do you think 8 archers could take it down? As fast as 8 thaumaturges?

Emulate. Firm conviction. Punishing barbs. Sacrifice 3. Stoneskin. Oh an archer can take more hits than you think it can. You just haven't given them the proper...MOTIVATION.

That'll come.

Plus, rangers don't need to survive,because there's thaumaturges who can out-DD and out-tank gladiators. See? so the 7 archers invite the thaumaturge! Annnnnd your argument is trashed.

Archers are squishy bawwwww....oh right our 2nd jobs are all thaumaturges because that's just the kind of jobs we all play lolol JELLY?

Waiting your ARC R50 soloing Great Buffalo video.

Waiting your ARC R50 soloing Great Buffalo video.

You just don't comprehend anything relevant to the discussion, do you?

Seven archers and a thaumaturge obviates the need for any archer to tank anything, even if they could. In fact, it completely negates any archer's argument that they are a "glass cannon". Pathetic argument, irrelevant to the discussion. That thaumaturge can solo the great buffalo. You aren't a glass cannon. You're a cannon.

That's why you and six other archers will carry around a token thaumaturge.

Again, not hard to see your all's intentions. You have nothing new that you're bringing to the table. Every move you make is predictable and expected, because before there was you, there was a legion of rangers doign the same thing. What they couldn't tank themselves, they carried a token paladin or ninja.

You're trying to add a THM to ARC to make it more powerful. Any DD can carry a token THM and get things done.

ARC may be the best DD thats currently in the game but they deserve to be. And there's not this HUGE distance in DPS between ARC and the other DD's.
