ARCHER CLASS

If you like having a tool for every job, the archer is the class for you—especially if you like tools that explode, penetrate armor, or trap enemies in magical spider webs! In battle, archers leave a trail of victims that look like pincushions—many dead before they knew what hit them. Playing an archer rewards you for using clever tactics and thinking two steps ahead of your enemy.
Adventuring archers use remarkable bows, with strings comprised of arcane energy and arrows of pure willpower. They excel at attacking from beyond a foe's retaliation range, and using their escape moves to stay there.

Skills Overview

Archer skills are mostly arrow attacks (that's what they do, after all). But as they advance in level, they learn to vary their arrows to trap, stun, and pick off choice targets. They also learn to strike with their bow, dealing close-quarters damage before leaping out of harm's way.
High-level archers have an array of traps that immobilize, poison, or just plain explode their enemies. Enemies often rush ranged fighters, and setting traps punishes them for such unimaginative tactics. There’s even a web arrow to catch and immobilize foes who try to escape or run for help.
Archers can charge up certain skills by holding down the skill button, dealing additional damage with each level of charge. This power comes at a cost, however, because charging a skill for too long causes damage to the archer as well.
