Nope.archers dont need a buff per se, just mms need a place to shine where bms cant.....theres another threads about how to give mms relevance like Make them ranged multitarget or change strafe to make them somehow stronger than bms when they have SI but weaker when they dont, or somehow change strafe BUT, this all depends on devs and admins opinion, and it seems that meanwhile they think a job looks "cool" or, paper calculations shows that dmg/utility is balanced despite the reality shows it isnt withouth any doubt,they will say that it was player fault for not mastering the job enough,and things are great as they are.Sooooo i dont see any change to be implemented soon tbh.
dont buff bm, that would make no sense at all. SE is probably the most wanted offensive party buff, so buffing this class would make no sense at all. For MM there is another thread, probably reversing snipe - cancel interacrtion would be enough there.
they buffed MM recently 3 months ago +5 attack but they also removed snipe not being able to hit during cancel weapon attack . they should change back snipe -> cancel weapon attack, and i think its fine. i dont think it need buff at the moment
Give marksmen extra 2 strafe arrows. Same as giving the existing 4 extra 50% with the added benefit of critical. Slightly more enjoyable, but still slightly behind bm and NL.
thats what big bang did and called it 'ultimate strafe' what big bang also did was change snipe from a fixed 199,999 to being a hard hitting % based skill that scales with your gear. That tweak will make marksmen actually scale with gear but make sure single target dps is still worse than BM. However, buff piercing arrow to the point where it outdamages your single target rotation on 2 or more targets so you stand on the warrior spotat HT and hit 6 of the arms and hit bottom 4 zak arms in the hero spot and cleave shao clones.
One thing you mentioned I have to agree with is that Buccs and Shadowers are by far the most OP classes and not many people are noticing.
lol, you didnt know my age to call me young, but ok. maybe the word "TRASH" dont describe archers, but a mediocre class to MAIN. why you play a class who have almost 50% less damage than nightlords instead of playing a nightlord with a SE mule????? i have a 14x sair with 3b total gears, i whited a 19x bm, so yes, they are bad But archers have SE? okay, i have a SE mule, so i deal so much damage and can bring utility to my team... they need buff or their critical rate or blind/hurricane, to make both of then more viables, even with nightlord being the most played attacker, archer mains is the less populated Buccanners have SI and TimeLeap, they are cheaper, but they have the third best damage in the game, why archers almost lose to HEROES in single target damage
