(Reboot server) Archer questions
So im just wondering how everyone is doing with their archer on reboot and what its like. I'm thinking about finishing maple where i started which would be on an archer. Anyway its mostly concerning WA or BM since i enjoy fast attacking skills and bossing. How hard is it to survive later on with those two and hows leveling throughout? any little things i should know about reboot archers? And a last little thing what are good link skills for them?

@muffinsinc: "For example temple of time enemies will routinely hit you for 4k+ damage"
Every archer class has a damage reduction of some sort. (Least being BM with 20% but you guys have drain) A level 155 Mercedes gets hit for about 2k in ToT.
OT: Good link skills, your basics (Kanna, DA, Phantom, lumi etc) and probably Kaiser just for a tad more HP for when you train (useless when you boss).
In reboot, every level matters (because of the special beginner skill we get) and training to reach a high level. Not only that it's harder to be on top purely with gear. So I would give preference to WA solely due to their early damage potential and mobbing superiority (helps for Zakum and sort of HT as well).
I haven't played an archer in reboot yet but I've partied with a good few at higher leveled maps and I've played a few archers to high level in normal servers. I also played a phantom first in reboot to 150 which is similar in squishy-ness.
This is from what I've seen and just some theory-crafting with how reboot would interact with those classes.
In reboot monsters at higher levels do tons and tons of damage. For example temple of time enemies will routinely hit you for 4k+ damage, normal ht head touch damage is roughly 10k+, heck even regular leafre mobs hit for over 2k damage if not double that. So, expect to basically drip-feed yourself potions and prepare for death. On my phantom which has a decent-ish dodge rate any moment of slacking off would get me nearly killed. I died so many times, and apparently archers have it worse though I could be wrong.
With a good setup of character cards and link skills to aid in your durability (links like kaiser and cannon early on could be very beneficial, though kaisers character card wouldnt help you much) playing a BM or WA could definitely be a good investment, but that's going to take a lot of patience and dedication. The game is still largely about bossing later on, and in that field you'll excel. It's just that the road there is going to be rough and covered in blood, at least from what I've gathered.
My death count is like 60+ atm.
