Favorite Archer class

General Discussion Started Last reply 21 posts
I saw this in another boards and saw the discussion quite interesting so I'm going to try a few here in the ol L2 boards so...

Vote your favorite archer and feel free to discuss why. :)
SR, hands down. No reasoning needed since archers are so much alike anyway. (esp if you have proper support)
I don't like archers in general. Especially these dull mmo varients. I only picked the arbalester because it's less pure dull ranger and has some nice skills (Betrayal Mark, Decoy, The Dark Seed stuff, and of ocourse the traps).

I don't like archers cause they're boring and bows are overated with the damage. And yes Arbalester are better to play with.
Ah, indeed, SR was my favorite of the 3 initial ones.

I forgot Arba, sure she's nice since I've been messing with one for some time now. (don't like how they limited it to female character tho', lame choice for this race !)
SR, should out dmg all the others w/ right tats.
HE/Sagi all the way
PR cuz i like Dark Elfs
Im surprised to see so few voted HE, the most popular archer class...
I went for PR, again highest damage output theory.
HE
as a dorf i know weight > all
This one is too close to call. I play a PR (68) and an HE (76), and I like them both equally.
Again, as a DD, PR wins this one.
I also dont prefer playing Archer. Pretty boring to me. I have played both Hawkeye and Silver Ranger before and Silver Ranger was much better.
I will have to change options, Arbalester seems much more fun, esp since you have 0 dependence on mana :D. Due to how I've grown to loath mana management in L2... you can imagine.


And did you say clone ?

Btw, does anyone know if the cooldown reduces more on the clone skill ?
It was 48 minutes and after lvl 2 it reduced to... 43 minutes... bleah.
Kinda ridiculous even for an "emergency" skill, it's not that uber to justify this. Or is it ? :|
The Hawkeye is probably overall best in terms of function. Yet, I voted for the Phantom Ranger because they just look cool. In fact, it's one of the few cases where I like the look of a DE male.

Don't they all look the same regardless of class? lol
I think the way the DE's Hold, and Shoot their Bow's is pretty stupid personally.
pr for their massive crit damage
Recently started playing an Arbalester and its much better than the traditional archers.
