Job Introduction

Bowmen are one of the weakest classes starting out, but as they go further down on their track, they out-rank all classes.

Bowmen Class

Why should I become a bowman? Well, here are some PRO's and CON's of Bowmen.

PRO's

  • Two attack skills to choose from and whichever one you choose, it would affect your next job advance.
  • Arrow Blow is a skill with low MP cost, high ATT (seeing that lvl 19 AB is glitched and is 283% damage) and very good with Critical Shot.
  • All jobs after 1st Job Advancement (2nd-4th) have VERY GOOD mob control skills.
  • Ability to knock-back enemies in first job when there is no mob skills.
  • Considering this is a ranged class, the damage is pretty nice.

CON's

  • Low and unstable damage until level 40-50 when the damage is higher and the range of attack is smaller (with (Cross) bow Mastery.)
  • Double shot is very MP and arrow consuming (though most people still use because there is a 17% chance of higher damage.)
  • Very hard to train because there are scarce places (that are good for training at) with sniping platforms.
