Hello everyone,
A little while ago, Wind Razor were removed and replaced with Steady Breath. Steady Breath features an extended SA with a +1,+1.2 second (60 fps) animation compared to the previous animation, due to the fact that the archer is a weak defensive class this gives opponents the chance to instantly kill us in SA.
The archer is based on a low-range protection rotation that allows him to resist for a few seconds in front of strong attacks, after that he can use another combo to take distance, like everyone knows: Infinite run and invincible rotation rage + raghon combo + double dash.
Unfortunately, the rotation is now almost useless due to the changes.
I received 3 new skills, one in main which is useless, I mean that Q-skill that replaced the former S+E (Storm Light). I received Mark, which is useful only for the bolt(with height) shot, that invisible is extremely useless and the fact that it camouflages you when you shoot and is unprotected and also appears on the mini-map compared to other skills from other classes with invisible.
The new Skill main-awaken has potential, I don't want to discuss it at the moment, it's too early.
We love the new skill, sunfall, please don't spoil it, it's perfect as it is.
Everyone knows that the archer is a ranged class, but he uses a lot of main-mobility combo to keep his distance and protect himself when is attacked. You can't play just distance because any class can catches you after because of the distance and speed changes from the rework.
In low-range, the archer relies a lot on knockdown shots to catch the target. Funny no? Archer-Ninja xD
Being an unplayed class, BDO tried to improve it, but at the moment it turns into a Ranger, we will have to sit on a rock and shoot arrows.
You might as well cut off his legs or wipe him out because he can't replace a ranger.
The class is very balanced in PvP and requires a lot of time invested to face other classes that have much greater advantages and easier to play-style than archer.
And I mention all this without highlighting the kills from node-war/siege, because there we don't make kills, we steal kills from our colleagues (Support damage).
For old players archers, we prefer not to try to make it meta through damage boost, but to leave it as it was.
We don't have the dmg of other classes but it's ok.
PS: Play archer for 3 year.
Now let me start saying what we want:
1. Wind Razor back ( Steady Breath is trash, do not put the animation from Striker on Archer). NON SENS
2. Fix Q new skill.
3. Solve the fact that we cannot keep our distance from any class
4. Do something with that camo ability, it's a very silly idea. ( I m archer, not ninja).
5. We need a little more speed to compensate the weak protection.
!!!!!!!!!!! But we are most interested to solve the problem with animation for Wind Razor and Steady Breath !!!!!!!!!!!!!
