Archer · Arthurian

Blackguard

A light-armored archer that fights at range, where most of the damage is the bow itself and the rest is Arcane. Siege Stance rewards standing still, and the kit has little to protect itself once an enemy closes in.

Wears: Light armor and shortbow or longbow.
Fights: At range.
Plays as: Damage Mobility
Passive: Grants the Siege Stance ability (Siege Stance: Grants Siege Stance, increasing your Weaponskill damage by 10% but causing movement to interrupt Weaponskills.)
Hits with: Weapon damage on eleven presses (piercing by the weapon you carry), and Arcane on four.
