Archers!

[Platinumstorm]

Archer is actually the quest I'm least worried about seeing change, to be honest. It has pretty good animations, but I would like to have indicators on where my AOE effects are going, and making it a bit more engaging than just nocking arrows, using buffs, and then attacking.

Classes in general need to have some crowd control abilities and it would be great if buffs/debuffs became more important across all classes, I think. It would be fun to set different kinds of traps.

Whole heartedly agree. Getting sick of using AOEs and "magically" not hitting half the enemies.. Besides that, (and the fact arrows are WAY too expensive) I think Archers play pretty well right now. Can't wait for some class-specific gear though!

True, a little highlighted area on the ground could be added to show where you're going to hit - and thus what you will hit. They can even implement that for other classes that have AoE/cone attacks.

Arrows......well, they were not exactly cheap in FFXI either, and because there's a high demand for them (we fire a lot of arrows even if you play conservatively, and they are not recyclable in a grand way - yes, I know Scavenge exists, but it doesn't significantly lower your costs), the supply will continue to have high prices. As more and more Carpenters rank up, I'm sure the prices will drop a little and stabilise, but I fully expect arrows (and most likely bullets too in the future when they release gun classes) to still be relatively expensive. Saying that, if cost is an issue, go back to Warped Arrows. They may not be "optimal damage", but they are cheap.
