    Why shouldn't arrows have different DPS? Not all arrow tips are the same, nor do they do the same thing.







    These arrow tips all serve different purposes in the real world. Bleed out control, size, amount of damage, it is all relative, and yes, even range. I feel like I did before 1.19 Lancer should of been an alternative to Archer, and now the tables are turned and I feel they hurt archer too much, they needed to balance them regardless of their future jobs...

    That's not what he's talking about, though. Yes, ARC has to pay to attack. The question is, what do they get in return? Raikki is asserting that the answer to that question is that they get range, and the safety that comes with it, but not an actual DPS edge over melee. I hadn't considered it before, but I'm inclined to agree.

    This is a very good point. Whats interesting is that the archer started as a class that by purchasing different arrows you would be able to do different kinds of damage (originally the build was monsters were weak to different kinds of mele attacks i.e. slashing piercing so on and so forth) but when Yoshi-P took over (not that I am complaining he is doing awesome) the mele damage types went out the window. I would like to see them come back just so I can justify paying 20k+ a stack for arrows. I would craft them but I find crafting tedious and annoying.
