BRD vs Caster

[Tonkra]

What do you think about the pvp balance between BRD and casters?


what really bugs me about Archer in this game is (as a BLM, CNJ etc.).. that they just can spam every attack instant and unruptable "on the run" with nice damage and on a very high distance as well. it works like a melee damage class but on distance with cc abillities.
In other words you could say that it is almost like a drg/mnk ++ (plus plus... plus) with the abillity to perform high physical damage on range.
As a BLM/conjurer/sch its mostly impossible to win against a brd in 1vs1 without having your pvp skill ready.



My suggestion of rupts by arrows (and maybe spells, too) would be like this:


High Distance (15y) -> 35%/45% rupt chance
Middle Distance (10y) -> 65% rupt chance
Close Distcance (5y) -> 100% rupt chance


like with the damage which is like the other way around:
High distance -> 100% Damage
Middle Distance -> slight lower damage
Close Distance -> low damage





Its not fair in regards to Melee Damage Dealers who have to get into close range and in Regards to all casters which are 100% rupted on distance by brds. I dont know how to solve this problem, but i think there is definatley a big discrepancy.

i am okay with melees rupting anyone easily, they have to get very close to the target in order to do so.. but brds having 100% instant skills + range + good damage + unruptable goes too far for me personally..

they have skills like silence for that.
