This stuff is hilarious, even if you're not an archer.
Quoted from Elenacostel - Heavens Tear.
DISCLAIMER: This is not from personal experience... Really... Would I lie?
Level 1-9: What the heck, I deal half damage close up? That makes no sense. And why can't I shoot these mobs from the air? What does "kite" mean?
Level 10-19: If I add 15 points into Magic, I don't have to worry about my wings sucking up MP. Nice.
Level 20-29: The Trial Crossbow is awesome! I AM ARCHER; HEAR ME ROAR!
Level 30-39: Oh my freaking god, being an archer is so expensive. Stupid arrows cost so much...
Level 40-49: So I was wondering if I should go Sage or Demon. I think I'm going to choose X because the skills of Y are bad for blah blah blah and I know what I am talking about because I'm level 45. Also, where do I grind?
Level 50-54: WANT TO BUY PERFECT HAMMER FOR 500K!!
Level 55-59: Nice, 4 Crits in a row. ... For crying out loud, can't you keep aggro?! I was only using normal attacks...
Level 60-64: I love this crossbow; it glows such a pretty green. Also, I've found the ultimate archer combo against mobs: Deadly Shot -> Frost Arrow -> Quickshot -> Stunning Arrow -> Knockback -> Aim Low. After that, I've dealt so much damage that I can just finish with normal attacks.
Level 64-69: I'm wondering which weapon I should use in my 70s. Comparing Wind and the Clouds and Unicorn, I see:
W&C: Faster. Higher DPS.
Unicorn: Not a slingshot.
I think I'll go with Unicorn.
Level 70-74: Wait, I have to sub to get the items I want in TT runs, but you Tanks and Healers get them by default? How am I going to make my TT70 and TT80 armor?
Level 75-79: SHOULD I GET CRIMSON HORN: SOULSMASHER, OR SHOULD I GET SOMETHING ELSE, BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE HAS SOULSMASHER, AND IT LOOKS REALLY COOL, AND I WANT TO BE COOL, BUT IT COSTS SO MUCH MONEY AND I ALREADY SPENT SO MUCH GETTING MY UNICORN TO +6 WITH IMMACULATE SHARDS AND WHERE DO I GET GOLDEN SPIRITS FROM ANYWAYS BUT YEAH I REALLY REALLY WANT SOULSMASHER BUT I JUST CAN'T DECIDE!!!!
Level 80-84: Where is fashion? I need fashion. Purple-glowing golden peac.ock for the lose. And why does nobody zhen anymore?
Level 85-89: So I was wondering if I should go Sage or Demon. I think I'm going to choose X because the skills of Y are bad for blah blah blah and I know what I am talking about because I'm level 85. Also, where do I grind?
Level 90-94: Out with the golden peac.ock. In with the starfish domme outfit with a scuba diving fetish. By the way, which weapon should I get for endgame? I can't decide between the rank bow and warsoul. Is warsoul worth it? Interest rates are low, so I think I can ask my parents to take a second mortgage out on our house.
Level 95-99: Archers suck at endgame! I need +8 in all my equips so I can last long enough to run away! Wah!!!
