Robby if you make it so that charged barrage isnt charged, the Archer class will be on par with other classes. To show you the difference,
I have changed classes about 5+ times this week alone. Yes 5+ times. I have changed to every class. I can say that Archers are essentially the bottom of the tier board. Right now it goes from Cowboy to Mage to Warrior to Archer. Cowboys have their Shotgun attack and grenade that make the class what it is. Shotgun attack works the same as Charged Arrow Barrage does it not? It increases the amount of bullets used in reference to the amount of Arrows if the person is an archer. Yet. Why is it not charged? A Cowboy can fire 200 bullets in the time frame that an archer fires 10 arrows. Do you see the difference? On to mages, Mages with two wands and the projectile skill maxed out at level 3. Thats 8 projectiles fired in one click of a button. Thats more than any other class although thats what makes the Mage. It's a glass cannon with great single target burst, but terrible AoE. Lightning is only good for PvP and 80% of the time, even though the lightning hits on your screen the person hit doesn't take damage. Warriors can one shot with their Power Slash, but it has to charge right? Not necessarily cause you charge it up to dash, not for damage to increase. Where do Archers stand in this group? Bows shoot at an average speed but slower than other class's attack speeds. They have a good multi-target skill, but arrows do little to no damage even if you spend 200,000,000 to book your range. I can spend 200M to book a mage's Magic and be able to kill a Proteum while I can spend 200M for Range on a Archer to barely be able to kill Repguanas efficiently. There's too far of a difference for such a fun class. I've already read what people said about how overpowered the Piercing Shot on Archers would be if they could one shot monsters. Can I ask on average how many new players would be able to one shot a Repguana or Proteum or Magmagon within a month? I can honestly say not many.
I just want to share a few suggestions for Archers if you'd like to spend some time to think about it Robby, P.S I'm writing this while I'm disconnected from the game
Suggestions:
1. Make Charged Arrow Barrage not Charged. This would put Archers on par with the other class' multiple projectile shots without being charged such as the mage's regular attack and Cowboy's Shotgun Attack.
2. Buff Bows. Again. My damage range says 1M, but Im doing what? 20K per hit? Seriously?
3. Make the Rapid Fire attack for Archers unlimited. By this I mean make it non-stop.
Honestly I don't know what much I can say about this, but for such a fun class to be considered unviable compared to other classes makes me want to scream. Those of the community give support below, if not at least leave a potato.
