What am I doing wrong? Wind Archer Range

Hey fellow maplers,

I was looking at some equipment videos for other classes and the few I've seen seem to have nearly double the range than me with much subpar gear.
I've spent a significant amount of mesos more than those in the videos -- sure I'm missing quite a few pieces of equipment, but I think I'm doing relatively well for the ones I do have.

Unbuffed,190437 - 224044
Self-buffed, 311809 - 366834
151 % Boss

537 Weapon Attack in equipment
153% Dex

Level 202

Am I doing something wrong? Unbalanced between ATT and Dex %? Or is it simply my class (no offense taken) --

Thanks for the help!

Getting the DA link.. prob won't increase your range much. Is there a specific class you're comparing your range to? because WAs do have inflated ranges compared to say a BM (and is comparable to a Mercedes) so I'm not sure.

The only thing that I note is that your dex% may be quite low (probably want 250-300% if you're considering higher ranges, not to mention Wind Blessing scales with more stat%). If those shoes and cape in your avatar are what I'm seeing... you might actually want to enhance them to 5 or 7 stars using superior shielding wards(reward system) and star force them. That would push your range straight to 800k-1m buffed.[/quote]

@Elufu:
Did you know you have a twin at Windia? Starts with a different letter but looked just like you (unless it was you).

I know Xenons have quite the generous range when it comes to 'bang-for-the-buck,' but even when comparing classes such as DrK, Shade, and Shadower, my range seems low relative to similar gear between them and me.
I'm sure higher range doesn't simply equate to higher dps, but boss time differences (and overall damage output) looked pretty significant.

I do have 5 star on 2 of my tyrants, and innocence'd the third one not too long ago (bad chaos scroll)
I can easily push them to 7-8 stars, but ouch 250-300%, looks like I have a long way ahead of me.
Shooting for around 400/500k at the moment... maybe I'll slowly migrate and play my Xenon more haha.

Thanks for the assistance Elufu; your guides have been more than helpful in the bowman community.
Great to see you still around.

The damage-increasing link skills I have are only 2:
Hybrid Logic 2 (Xenon): Stats 10%
Elementalism (Kanna): Damage 10%

Do you have all the damage increasing link skills?
