Bowman

Starting Out

As an archer, the main stats used are Dexterity (DEX) and Strength (STR). Luck and Int, are worthless to archers, so to be one it is ideal to keep them as low as possible.

Pros

• Flashy Skills mainly in the Ranger/Sniper stage.
• Has the highest accuracy in the game
• Gets soul arrow in 2nd job, allowing space saving for more pots.
• Handles normal mobs pretty well (Puppet, hawk, Blizzard for Snipers)
• Good mobbing skills.
• Far ranged.
• Confirmed as the most effective 4th job.
• Can hit as high as warrior with double shot very early on.
• Highest armor of all ranged classes.

Cons

• Low health, getting 2-hit-killed by monsters at high levels
• Confirmed as the least popular of all the classes
• Low damage largely due to weak damage formula
• Very unstable damage until mastery in 2nd job
• Elemental advantage is screwed at higher levels, not much fire weak mobs to train on
• Biased view towards archers from other classes, other classes will be chosen over bowmen any time at anywhere at lower levels

Requirements: Level 10, with 25 DEX

Head to Bowman Instructional School in Henesys where you'll find Athena Pierce. Talk to her, and she will advance you as a Bowman if you've the requirement stats.
