Archer/hunter Change

I know that the archer doesn't really need a change right now, but I thought that I may as well put this idea out there. Try not to hate on it to much :)

Weapon Changes:
Remember a long time ago, were you actually had to hold right click and shoot to use your bow? Well, I think that that should be brought back, but with a few revamps. First of all, bows should get a damage buff, so this class will actually be usable. Second, there could be a secondary weapon, like a small knife or something if things come to close, but it won't be very good damage-wise, so you want to use your bow as much as possible.

Spell Changes
There won't be much in the way of spell changes. Just a simple hilt smash or something for the knife that does some knockback, and at higher levels blind and/or slow.

Obvious Flaws (plz don't spam these in comments ;-;)
This would require a lot more textures
It might be hard to make separate spells for the different weapons
High level archers would need to adapt and get new weapons
Assassins already have knife-like weapons
It would take a lot of time to make all of these new weapons

P.S. I know this isn't super in-depth, so you can ask questions in the comments if you want :D

Good idea Gr8 m8

 

We can't have bows that draw back yet, thanks to weapon models being mostly blocks.

As for another weapon, it doesn't really make sense; escape is what you're supposed to use when mobs close in. That's why it's called escape. Plus, giving it spells would then give Archer an advantage over the other classes.

Archer definitely doesn't need a damage buff. It's not supposed to be a huge damage-dealer, but it already does plenty.


All in all, this suggestion would just buff the shit out of archer for no good reason. No thanks.

 

The reason we can't have them draw bows is that the custom textures for bows aren't actual bow items so the game wouldn't allow it.
Also, having to draw back the bow would make archers way slower, and archer's speed is one of the most notable features of the class.

 

Just saying, the damage buff is only if they do add the draw back, otherwise it would be very slow and have much less DPS. Also, I already mentioned that the textures would be a problem. Otherwise, thanks for the feedback :3

Yes, I know my archer account sucks. My main is Assassin, and the archer account was from a long time ago XD

 

I like my archer how it is.
Having multiple weapons would confuse me... especially since I use two bows, does that mean I have to get two daggers with similar stats (such as hp regen)?

My opinion, no
I have escape for running away (especially with the speed 3 upgrade for escape), arrow storm for knocking things back, and arrow shield for when I'm in trouble (like close combat indoors).
