What Makes Archers Unique?
I never make a thread to simply complain, unless it is for the benefit of the main point. Please read through the entire thread if you can, so that hopefully you will grasp the point I'm trying to make.
Starting Pocket Legends I wanted to build my character for PvP that would be coming in the future. What has the most DPS in nearly every game? The archer/scout class. So, of course, I chose the archer glass. I became level 30. I loved every aspect of the gameplay, the design, everything that everyone loves. I saw hybrids, and I knew they were useful, but I never knew to what extent....Until PvP rolled around.
If I asked you what the best PvP build was, what would you say? I don't even think you have to give a second thought to this one, it should be pretty obvious if you know your facts. The bow bear has some mad buffs that make it an army tank and with the DPS of an archer it comes with a fully loaded machine gun. I've heard the argument millions of times: Bow bears are over-powered. They can tank, and they can kill as quick as possible. Making my in-game account for mainly PvP purposes, I feel subjected to make this argument. What is the point in a regular archer? If I can have buffs that are 10x as good and I can tank with less deaths, less pots, and still hit very high, why bother? An enchantress heals and helps kill, a bear is a tank that does THE killing, so why bother with an archer? I know that we can't simply strip bow bears of their power, that wouldn't be right in any way. What about upgrading an archer's capabailites, buffs, or more? Possibly. Wouldn't it make sense to have some kind of over-all armor to class stat boost? If I'm an archer and I have archer armor should I get more dexterity, or something along these lines? This might be a solution, but it could cause even more misunderstandings. What can be done then? The archer needs to be unique, in its own way, as the enchantress is to healing and the bear is to tanking. I feel it has been somewhat robbed of its high DPS abilities and combined with the tanking qualities to make an unstoppable machine. What does that leave the archer with that makes him stand out? In my honest opinion, I would say not much at all. He's a bird I guess. I can't make everyone agree with this, but you can't deny most of the facts either. So, for the future of "pure" birds, I wanted to suggest something that can be made specifically for these birds that would make them seperate and put that pillar in the mix seperating them from the over-powered bear, and putting it into a class of its own. I need suggestions from the community, that would help improve the birds status. What can be done without changing whats already done? Lets improve the future. Pets will come out. There will be houses, quests. So much can be done to set classes apart. So what do you have to say about it? Heck, I would be happy enough just to hear that each class gets a different pet. How can we put archers apart? I will put my favorite ideas on the post below. I felt I needed to post this because I don't see much hope to set us apart. We seem to be out-buffed, out maneuvered, and just beat-out. I know everyone won't agree with this, but even if you don't, what suggestions might you have? Thank you for taking time to read all of this, and hopefully I can use your opinion to make the point known.
