Archer
Welcome on Maple Mesos. Today I would like to introduce Archer job (or path). The path of the Archer is probably one of the more difficult in MapleStory. You must be really skilled to stay alive on higher levels, because sometimes 2-3 hits and you are dead – oh yeah -10% less experience after that. Bows are faster than crossbows, but they also do less damage.
What is sooo cool in Archer?!
- Flashy Skills mainly in the Ranger/Sniper stage.
- Probably highest accuracy in Maple Story
- Handles normal mobs pretty well
- Very nice mobbing skills.
- Gets soul arrow in 2nd job, allowing space saving for more pots.
- Fantastic range
- Well 4th job is really great
- Can hit as high as warrior with double shot very early on.
- Archers got the highest armor of all ranged classes.
(Maple Story archer gameplay)
What is really annoying…
- Low health, well, sometimes 2 hits and you are killed by monster…
- Very low damage
- Very unstable damage until mastery in 2nd job
- Confirmed as the least popular of all the classes
- Elemental advantage is weird at higher levels, not much fire very weak mobs to train on
At their second job, archers have two options, Hunter or Crossbowman, and will proceed on to Ranger and Sniper respectively. The general perception of archers is somewhat biased however, so do not expect to be tops in line for a place in a training party for example. Well, I prefer Magician, as ranged class, but playing as an archer can be also very entertaining, even is hard to play. Even it’s less popular class, it’s still good and fun one. I love them for very high accuracy which is highest in Maple Story. 4th job is fantastic and if you are patient enough to level up your toon on high enough leve you will be very pleased! And this range…Yeah Archer have splendid range! I just love to watch how archer can snipe enemies from the long distance…If you remember how Magician is vulnerable to any monster hit, archer is also very vulnerable so you should watch out, because sometimes 2 hit and you are dead…
What can I say more?! Try it my friend!
See you again on Maple Mesos
