Just a curious little post in wonder of who will be Rolling Archers? I will be one rolling a Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon out of Limsa Lominsa. I am curious as to how many of you played Rangers on XI. I played a while ago before the Ranger nerf and am very excited to be coming back to the series. I am partial to DEX and AGI type classes myself but would love to know of any other people out there who are already dead set on making this job a primary focus of theirs.

I will be starting as an Archer, both because as of now, it is the only class that seems like I will enjoy, and because it has the abilities I will want to use when a job I like does come out.

In terms of combining it with other classes, I am really thinking Lancer will be a big one, abilities to increase tp generation will be quite handy hopefully it will be viable. If not a straight up Archer seems alright enough. The other classes seem to need to be either in melee range or not as useful.

I will be rolling Archer its all i play in mmos. I love ranger in FFXI. Best class in game beside redmage and pally in my eyes. So im hoping they really helped archer out in the game.
Sun Seeker Mi'qote Archer here. Not sure where I'm gonna be starting though. My friends and I are considering Gridania out of sheer aesthetics. I've never played an archer type class before. I've always either gonna with some sort of assassin or mage kind of class. So this will be a bit of a change of pace for me. I may also try my hand at leather working to compliment the class.

I am considering Gridania myself now since thats where the carpenter guild seems to be locatedfrom what I have heard. Very excited cant wait to be making arrows and relocating them to baddies :p

I'm thinking of starting Archer, since ranger was one of the few classes that i didn't touch in XI. Hopefully arrow consumption won't be so much of a problem that it scares people away from the job. Or hopefully arrow creation will be a cinch.
Archer will definitely be my DoW class because of the RNG/THF-esque nature of its build. I like being the sneaky, low enmity type of DD. I'll supplement this class with botanist and carpenter :)

I think I'm going to start off as an Archer as well - haven't really played a ranged character in an MMO before, usually tank or close range dps, so this sounds like a fun change of pace.
100% going with Archer. I've always played a bow-user in pretty much EVERY RPG I've ever played. It's in my blood. :)

I will probably try to level 1:1 gladiator with archer because I'm totally serious about having that mix, range kite, range, then tank situations for multiple mobs that might look like i'd go down with archer. I don't see lancer as being a clever option in Higher level soloing (if such a thing exists).
I'll be sure to be getting the high accuracy gear because I can see missing costing dearly in the combat system. I think I know glad defence will be good as they will be main tankers.
I'm worried about rolling the conjuror because they seem too squishy and long to level. I'm starting to like the idea of crystal recharging, too bad u can't lure 5 mobs to a crystal and use your nuking move.
My class will be Wood-elf thing to balance str, dex, agil and int..............focus on dex and str...........then again maybe i will be missing a little more than miqo'te.

I started FFXI as a Galkan Ranger I loved being both.My excitement over FFIV did not peak till I saw Roegaydn using a gun in the first CS,needless to say I am planning on making both my choice for FFIV.I look foward to trying out different combos and crossing my fingers that Archer doesnt fall victim to the same fate rng did in FFXI and have party members demand /nin.Watching a galka/roegaydn with a gun in their hands looks freaking awesome IMO
Archer all the way. Ranger in a past life.
Seems more bow dependent this time around, and doesn't seem to have the mob-range nerf yet. :p

I will be rolling an archer as well. I never played FFXI but as an archer with WoW, Warhammer, Aion and a couple others, the archer class had one thing in common, in Groups they all blew. Any different here maybe? Thanks. oh side question, can I use my arrow keys in this game? I like the arrow keys to move with. I can't play a game with out those keys, frustrating ;).

Yea Archer is the way to go for me,Love the behind the scene's DD,but i want to be able to solo when i want to,so i want the Archer/RDM feel,so im getting THAU to 20 for the Mana production and Sac 2 + Lancer 14 for the TP Gain. So far its the main Idea,hopefully it wont be too nerfed for having DoM skills.
