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.
Highest armor of all ranged classes.
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.
See you again on Maple Mesos
