    Bowman aren't necessarily weak. It's just that their damage is very unstable until they have bow/crossbow mastery in the second job advancement. They also must deal with knocking back enemies when they get too close until getting power knockback in the second job advancement. This means that the early levels tend to be very difficult compared to the other classes.

    It may seem that sins get a better deal in terms of long ranged attacks but they have to rely on lucky seven to do this damage. Bowman on the other hand do not have to continuosly use a skill to fight effectively. The skills are really situational in nature. Arrow bomb is used to stun enemies and then eliminate them with a volley of arrows. Power knockback is for when enemies get too close. This does not mean that you can't just spam skills until all the enemies are dead. My point is that bowmen don't have to use their skills continuously unlike sins.

    what u all say is indeed true but the reason people really dont like bowmen is because well....some higher levels ( not everyone) tend to ks others for no reason u just go like hey excuse me but im almost done if u can just wai **** YOU HELL NO THIS IS MY MAP GET ****ING LOST YOU ****ING BALLESS DOUCHE so lame all they say are swear words (in my experience at zombie maps) and really douches do not have balls remember that, o and but we do all have to consider one major factor why people dont like bowmen when choosing them...the b its like a d but backwords how lame is that?

    i think alot of people say this cause they don't see to many uber archers walkin around...

    ...like we had stephen ...and then everyone and tehir mom was a cleric
    ....then ninjagaru...and every newb is now a sin

    not to many people kno tiger...but im sure if he got around to...thier would be mucho warriors...

    ive seen really stonrg archers but their not as prominite as sins or mages...lol...havn't seen an archer ova 80 since fastpaced in beta...XD

    Reason why archers are "pushed down"

    Mages = high amount of damage, elemental attack, know for ksing.
    Assassins = Haste, different stars, look good, very rich
    Bandits = SB, Haste, different stars, look good, very rich
    Worriors = High damage, Very strong, complain about being ksed by mages.

    Bowmen just happen to be that class that is just there, nothing big about them (from a stereotypical view). Many ppl dun even know about arrow bomb!

    Nothing big as their stereotype goes except apparently they're weak.

    Stereotypes are often so far from the truth. :]
