Confusion: Archer to Bard? Where is the Ranger Job?

[Keith_Dragoon]

Archers = Bards soooooo Botanist = Ranger! yay! I am kidding and just poking fun!

Every class will eventually get more than 1 job so Archer's second job will probly be Ranger.

All we really know in regards to Archer is that it's first job will be bard. I don't doubt that this will be expanded on in the future. We should all be happy to see a buffing job put into play, haste for me!

they can fix the ARC dmg by inrease the bow dmg, low the dmg from harp-bow, they are different wep after all

Bard is a nice class yes...but I think the thread is about where is the Ranger DD class if this one is moving towards support...Bard and Archer are completely different classes usually :/ In most other MMO rangers are powerful DD that shoot, kite, stun and what not. Bard support with songs is the last thing I would imagine when playing a ranged DD class heh. If I wanna play support I do not think of ranger...

archers got nerfed coz they were far to powerful. any1 that don't think they were can't have noticed that 2 out of 3 ppl had a bow on their back. so if they nerfed archer coz it was to powerful, there not likely to make a super powered ranger are they

balance is why you are not getting a ranger

They could still give us a ranger type class without making it OP...I have played so many MMO and I usually pick Bow class. I have never found to to be extremely OP (In other MMO, like Lineage II, Aion)

Instead of just nerfing a class and being done with it I wish they could try to balance it. I always felt too that Ranger type classes were strong DD because we have to buy our ammo or make it. We don't just get a sword or axe that we bought one time and get to do good damage for free

I also understand the game is changing but when it first came out it was advertising an archer ranged DD type class...so hopefully they will figure out a way to give us that type of class..but I won't hold my breath.

But yeah I see your point >.<

what i said was, is why i think they got nerfed. i'm not justifying nothing.
i do believed archers got nerfed coz they were over powered. i do believe the easy way to deal with an over powered class is to nerf it. i'm not saying its fair or right. but it is easy, and the result is you don't see 2 out of 3 ppl with bow's anymore. like it or not it worked

Explain this sentence then? How is it balance to not get a ranger class that is a viable DPS? We're not asking for a "super powered ranger". We are asking for a viable ranged physical DPS class, one that is seperate from a support character.

how is it balance to have the strongest dps being the one that can stand back and relax in battle. greater range should mean less power that seems fair to me
