Archers have been very popular since Chronicle 1. They pretty much pwned everything back then. Why? Well because they have the advantage of ranged attack and they can hit hard with full buffs. As Lineage 2 moved through it’s updates, archers got nerfed big time. Resist arrow skills were given to some classes and their crit attack power dropped. As an archer you mostly rely on your critical hits to get a kill. You’ll find youself sweating in the middle of a mass PvP praying for that one hit one kill critical hit.
Archers can be human, elfs, dark elfs or kamael. The Kamael arbalester is a class of it’s own, so I’ll make a short comparison between the other. All archers basicly have the same set of skills to rely on, however the differences between them make on or another become godlike in some situations. The human Hawkeye (Sagittarius on 3rd proffesion) has a good all around presence on the battle field, and has a few party support skills like counter dash – which gives dash to all party members when the archer is hit. One of his best skills is Snipe, but I personally think this is a suicide skill most of the time as he cannot run for 2 minutes (omg!). The elf Silver Ranger (Moonlight Sentinel) has a small attack speed boost over the Haweye, more critical chance, evasion and running speed. The problem is that when facing a situation when he cannot run he will get in trouble as he strongly relies on kiteing. The Dark Elf is the godfather of all crits! Despite the fact he has low HP, he will just put a hole in you when he crits. This is what makes him one of the best archers out there in the Kamael update. His Dead Eye skill will really make you fear him…
