long range class. Help!

[ArcherXD]

I'm always a fan of "long range class" in all games.
I found this game (DRG) on the web when I was searching for some dragon pics.
this game has two long range class's, Archer and Thief. I've always played archer.
But thief? I don't know they throw knifes LOL!?.

then I started to search for some guides about both of the classes,

this is what I found.
thief ac is high because he could equip shield. he has ice death,
double extreme, and ice shield. when you have 200TT while using
dbl ex/ice death. you could easily kill anyone without sfd.

archer has low ac. he has the ability to use magic (fire/ice arrow).
the damage will be insane when magery is max (200). it could easily kill
any class with low hp/resist. but it's easy to miss because it flies slow.
archer+wizard built is a supporter. with magics, resist defense/missile.
but resist missile is forbidden because it's a cheat?

any thief/archer experts could help me?
I want to know the bad/good things about both of the classes.

Thanks !

Someone really needs to remove that atrocity of an 'alternate build' about the magery stuff under the archer class description.

Anyway, at high end levels, Thief is more suited for longer range combat in the way that you would like, I think. Archer is more of a in your face kamikaze class. While they 'ARE' a range class, the way to maximize their skills is to be up close to the enemy.

seeing the skills both classes can get, i see thief being more of a long range class then archer...

thief : can ice death (line of 6 knifes with 80% (? ) of the original dmg)
archer : can use fleet missile (but ppl dont use this cuz the skill is to weak compared to the other ones) and use AC Drop (wich is only good if u hv nicely high tt, high force and a lot of distance rares. mainly used against lower hp classes)

PS : the alternative archer built doesnt work... and it should be removed from the website indeed

Thief
More long range and has stealth. It has a skill that throws in a straight line and you can get distant rares to give you more damage the further you are away from your target. Also you get invisible skill so its hard for people to see you or click on you to hit you. Of course you also get a shield witch is important.

Archer
More of a close and long range class. It has long range attacks, but the main skill is a close range attack that you will no doubt use more then the others. What happens is it has a spread on it so when you click it shots out multiple arrows starting at where you clicked. Then moving out in both directions in a half circle.(later you will get one that goes in full circle around you) So the further you are away the less arrows that will hit the target. But if your close all arrows will hit and you will get huge damage. Archers have more damage then a theif but less defense. So its a kill or be killed class. Its good for going in quick killing and then getting out fast, and trust me they move very fast. This class is close range so you wont need distant rares so you can focus more on damage rares and other things.


Yeah i feel bad for anyone who uses that trigmage build on the website. I know you want people to try different things but thats just completely messing up a class.

i really think it would be good if they change some of the archers skills so it could be more like a ranged class but dunno what happened with this topic in suggestion =/

So, it's simple. I've played many years on thief and for me is the best class to do anything.

Thieves has nice damage, ac value, sooo fast and can solo easy coz his skills don't need to be near at the target. (except for ex ice).

Archers are fast too, have insane damage (I'm still scared about Desperado's), and can solo too but harder than thieves coz his multi need to be close at the target, have low ac value. So, archers are 'Kill or Die'.

That's what I think

lmao .. hmm i mean Dragon?

If you want a true ranged class in DR, wizard is the only class that will satisfy you. Thieves and archers all have to be up to the enemy's face at one point or another.

mage archer works great in snow wars. I never tried to make one outside of that, however.
