[TIP] If you're going to be an Archer

[Ephraim]

For the love of God, stop running around like you're a chicken with it's head cut off and tank the bloody mob!

I swear, you are making matters worse by running around trying to kite the stupid thing instead of standing there and letting people wail on it! Hell, I guarantee that it'll be a hell lot easier for a tank to take hate off of you!

Why make life more difficult if you continue being stupid? I watched an Archer run around, kiting the Cancer FATE and refusing to pull the bloody thing away from the mob respawns. In the process, he killed eight people due to pops/aggro.

Oh, that reminds me.

If you're a healer and you see an Archer kiting a mob like an idiot, let them die so someone with an ounce of common sense can tank it!

Thank you.

First off, this should be stickied. Secondly, I appreciate your use of capitalization and punctuation.

I run around if I start a FATE by myself and then don't stop till a healer heals me. I am assuming a lot of archers have the same mind set because honestly if they have hate they will die faster than someone can get hate off them (there may not even be a tank around at that particular time). I would suggest healers heal the archer a few times to see if he stops. If he doesn't stop then let him die. ^^

You DO understand that unless you are actually in my party, a moving target is way harder to target and heal than a stable target right?

My main is a SCH and even while using controller it is rather easy so sorry but I don't believe you.

Target mob, acquire mob's target (= the mad kiting god, also known as bard).

Not exactly feasible in multiple mob situations...I'd have to know what mob is eating them.

If the tank dies Im kiting. Sorry if that bothers you. You should have healed him better.

I learned this quickly, I hit bind shot run towards the tank switch targets and just chill.

70% of my disdain for the entire Archer/Bard job and population is due to this reason.

So many mindless idiots play the class, due to how easy and OP the class is, and it gets worse at endgame.
