2nd- having an OHKO to any class (the way it is now) is going to make him any more safe? Archers who are skilled with puppet will still be able to kill it.
3rd- nexon said when they released bigfoot that they were trying to make a challening boss where teamwork is needed. Pinning him back makes no different than a furry anego.
4th- archers have always been crippled by hp. That's the weakness of a ranged class. 2nd body of pap does 5k+ dmg yet u still see people able to solo it.
5th- Having one boss that other classes could actually go to would be a nice thing to have. As of now, there is no boss that a NL or BM isnt the best class to have kill it. I can't believe you actually are trying to make it seem that archers actually have any trouble killing a boss.
6th- you don't even have to hp wash. There's something called a blood build. HP is a stat just like any other....
I was talking about Bigfoot. Other bosses are irrelevant in this discussion. That's a problem that should be attended to in the rest of MapleStory, not one GMS exclusive boss. Archers are DPS classes; if anyone should be able to solo a boss, they should be included.
Pap isn't the same thing at all.
1. It is much easier to hold in place than Bigfoot.
2. Even if it breaks free you can hold down and avoid getting hit.
You can't safely hold Bigfoot down with Puppet alone; it would either require running into his stomp range to make him stop running and counting on him stomping or giving up some room every couple of seconds. This would be next to impossible on any map but Phantom Road. Bigfoot kills Puppet in two hits on average; even with a lowered damage that probably wouldn't last long enough for more than 4-5 hits. Having to risk certain death to hold down a boss every 10 seconds is quite a daunting task.
Blood builds weaken a character; you shouldn't encourage more reasons for people to wash. I agree that more bosses should require team effort, but Bigfoot isn't one of them. Or if you want it to be, then don't randomly spawn it all over the maps where people have to walk through to get up to CWK.
