Legendary Archer?
Obviously, he must be the bone of his sword.
Steel will be his sprite, and fire will be his HP pool.
He will create over a thousand blades.
Unknown to death, he will never lose experience points.
And his enemies will pray for him to use,
Unlimited Blade Works.
Spoiler

Scania will crash every time Archer attacks.

Aside from everything that's in my only blog post (of which a few things in there might be a rather bad idea in hindsight), I want the legend to be useful in boss fights for things other than pure damage. Oh, and attack skills that aren't rehashes of any existing Archer skills. (Triple Shot and Wild Shot, I'm looking at you.) Preferably, the Archer legend would either be Lightning, Wind, and/or Holy based.
Ideas for party skills:
- Something that reduces damage taken along with preventing knockback when you are ducking/climbing a rope.
- (Status effect) Being able to inflict a status effect on mobs and bosses that causes their attacks to have a flat 20% rate of missing (meaning that if an affected boss uses a full screen attack and it is calculated to miss due to the status effect, it will miss everyone)
- (Status effect) Being able to inflict a status effect on mobs that causes them to take more damage from attacks (from any source), depending on their speed stat. Every 20% speed slower results in additional 2% damage, bottoming out at 0% speed, meaning immobile mobs would take 10% additional damage from every attack. Mobs with 100% speed or more (the speed of a Mapler) will not be affected. (Bowmasters' Hamstring and Mages' Slow should be modified to work on bosses for this reason.) Or even better, subtract from PDRate and MDRate (although that's assuming I correctly understand how it works).
- Something that restores HP and MP over time (like 10% HP and 5% MP every second or something), which would be invaulable for those affected by potion lock AND Zombify.

It must use a Bee Cannon.

How about we just make him an NPC somehow related to Althena Pierce that has been gathering forces in some hidden location and stop making new classes? Maybe let him give people some new beginner skill? I'm not sure why, but it just feels to me that they've used almost all real ideas that are plausible within the system as it stands now. In every idea I've had for this, even looking at the ideas in this thread, it just seems like a rehash of what is already in game.

I like the idea of another support class, even if it's a bowman legend. We need another one that isn't a mage.

Some skill suggestions
Soul Arrow : Posion
Soul Arrow : Ice
Soul Arrow : Fire
Silence : Silencing mobs skills including bosses
Arrow Swap : Shoot an arrow out allowing archer to tele to the ending spot of the arrow
Berzerk : Burst of arrows
Clear mind : Dis-arm mobs skills including weapon def and magic def
Mini Snipe : A poorer version of snipe maybe?
Windwalk : From cygnus
Arrow Fury : Something like hurriacane/ SOA
Replicate : Shadow partner of archers
And it shall be called, "Elementalist Archer" .... probably too long of a string to fit.... lols..

The plot of the archer legend should have to do with the mythology of Artemis though.
Artemis being the Legendary Huntress of the Moon, would be an excellent concept for the character's own respective plot.
Seeing as how maplestory already uses many greek references, it'd be a no brainer.
