Subclasses

Subclasses for Archers are the Marksman (Offensive) and the Hunter (Tactic). Marksmen have the ability to make precise shots that have temporarily increased statistics as well as deal high damage from a long range while maintaining a decent defense. The only problem is they have to deal with a relatively small mana pool, considering the cost of their skills. Hunters are able to detect realm enemies, camouflage themselves and their allies, which allow them to create ambushes and kill priority targets. Their offensive powers are very limited,but if wisely used can make of the hunter a very effective assassin. They also can tame wild creatures to aid them in the combat.

Marksman

• Aiming Mastery: Gives the marksman increased accuracy, range and damage when fighting
• Arrow Mastery: Focuses on using arrows that have special abilities, such as poison or extra damage

Hunter

• Scouting: Is a tactic discipline that allows the Hunter to detect enemies from other realms, get invisible, turn allies invisible, reveal invisible enemies and increase the damage of the hunter for a few seconds allowing a burst of damage which if wisely used can kill a enemy very quickly.
• Pets: Allows the Hunter to tame beasts and enhance their pet's abilities
