Windarcher

Wind archers, anyone around?

I just came back from a break of half a year, when I made my wind archer.
The class wasn't very popular at that time, but it seems even worse right now.
I can barely find any of them in game, and there are no recent threads about them, only a few sp guides, but no training guides.
Is it because they're considered weak, slow or boring? Why is no one playing them?
But since I havn't been online after BB I have no idea where to train, does anyone know training spots for Wind archers?
I'm lvl 55 atm, with pretty average gear I guess (funded with around 4-500m, not sure idk the prices anymore)
Also, whats it all about what i read about Final attack, should i add it early in 2nd job?
Just for info, current build; 20 stormbreak, 10 wind walk, 19 mastery, 20 booster, 7 soul.

And for who doesn't want to read it all;
Training spots for lvl 55+ wind archer?
Final attack early on, yes or no?

Scarecrows are pretty crowded. So are jesters.

The new accuracy system is based on level. As long as you're a higher level, you shouldn't miss.

Hmm nice, didn't know fa didn't take cast time.
Yea I was already planning to do so, but pre-bb max lvl was 20.
But I heard it shouldn't be maxed, is that true?

I also used to train at wind raiders before bb, cause of my wide range it's better to need various hits instead of sometimes one sometimes 2 hits imo.. Can I hit them at my lvl with the new system? Or is it just a bad choice at my lvl?
And are the scarecrows crowded? So I can use my stormbreak at full potential.

[quote=thatso]Ah okay, thanks
I've already checked some other classes training guides and decided to try trojans, but it's not crowded enough imo...
Also, why did you name trojans/robos instead of scarecrows?

Edit; Thanks for looking up those links ^^[/quote]

I didn't list scarecrows because I already had robos/trojans down. And because I forgot. xD

they're better post bb imo. activatable fa that takes no extra cast time. possible max hurricane at lv100, hella powrful arrow rain and wind pierce..

yeah i think they're better post bb but that's just me.

btw you should raise storm break to 21 because iirc 20 hits 5 mobs while 21 hits 6.

As for training spots, generally, all classes now train at the same spots. You can look up all-class guides. Just search in the basil bar "Post-BB Training guide"
55~58 Toy Trojans
58~65 Robos
65~70 Zeta(?) Greys in Omega
60~70 PPQ/GSPQ
65~90 Jesters
70~95 ? I'm not sure here.
95~120 MP3
100~120 Captains/Kru
110~120 DGP and Gigantic Spirit Vikings

EDIT: These links should help you.

Yes, max final attack. Might not be as useful early on, but definitely get it maxed before 100.

Personally, I'd go with scarecrows until around 65ish then kill Zeta Greys until 70. Then go to Twisted Jesters.
