Sounds awesome. I'll probably switch once I get enough levels.

Hmmm this sucks naw i wont change wavemasters are more in tune with the elementals....

Now that it's a reality... I'm not so sure I want to change. I've grown used to wielding a spear, and you can't do as much with a bow as you can with a polearm.

I might change, I might not. I guess I'll decide when I get the levels.

I think I'll probably change when i get enough levels. It would be awesome to be able to unleash a hail of arrows on your enemy. Also, from what I gather, since arrows cost one sp each, and since we could keep our current weapons, then that means if the enemy gets too close, then I could fall back on my sword and put the bow away, so it would be pretty interesting, but correct me if I'm wrong.

OOC: You keep your current weapons but you can't used them.

ooc: Thanks for the correction Phoenix, but if thats the case, then how much SP do Archers get, and what do they do if they run out of SP when they're in the middle of a battle?

OOC: if archers run out of SP in the middle of a battle, there's only one thing they can do. RUN! lol

As for the SP, I'd assume you keep as much as you had before the change. You'd have to be really wasteful to use 50 arrows that quickly though.))

ooc:Archers are a light class and SP goes by class type. your SP would be the same as a wavemaster.

It'd be wise to keep many Mage's Souls, Archers :P

Looks like archer will dominate against wavemasters, cause of the physical long range attack. The wavemasters will have do a lot of running and seeing them cast a spell will not work as much, since arhcers will have good magical defence and dodging ability.

(OOC: O.o I smell... ownage? ;P or maybe... we'll see)

I have a question about this new class...

One new weapon that is available is the Rose Thorn Bow. Could it be possible that the bow has sharp thorns on it, allowing it to be wielded as a melee weapon? Just wondering...

Hm, thats a interesting question. I believe that you are not able to. The name is implied, I guess, because of the speed of the arrow as it hits the target, feeling as if the player/monster have landed in a bush of sharp thorns. Of course, I have no idea whether or not this may be true, but thats I interpret the term "Rose thorn" bow. =/ (Even though its a bad one).

I think, if the bow did have thorns on it, it would only be for show. Unless it's a really sturdy bow, it would probably break if used in melee, plus it wouldn't do much damage even with the thorns.

The bow might not be that sturdy, but I'm taking a guess that we are using hunting arrows with the recurve bows, which are very sturdy, and steel crossbow bolts, so maybe if we can't run, then we could use an arrow to stab our way through, like Legolas? Correct me if I'm wrong.

The arrows are made of SP, so technically you shouldn't be able to use them in melee either, though I have a plan to use them as such in the future myself. Just have to mention creating the arrow before using it as a weapon.

I think.. the arrow would be kinda like a spirit. You wouldn't be able to grasp it, but only to direct it with the bow. Since you create an arrow, you pull back on the string, and the arrow flies forward, with you not even holding the stick to the string.

Why can't the archer be a low level?

Consider the new class a reward of sorts for yuour achievement. The original six classes are the only ones you can start as.
