Big Bang, Chaos, What now?

All in all, i just want the legend classes to bring a little something new to the game, like what aran Did (and evan to an extenet with the multiple job level thing and the floating dragon next to your head).

I knew people were going to bring up Afrien (not Mir since he didn't exist then). That's a big point against the picture, but I'll go out on a crackpot limb and say that Afrien wasn't included in the picture with Freed because 1) where could they have stuck him in the picture without looking out of place (Afrien is freaking huge) and 2) seeing Afrien there would have already completely spoiled Evan's concept half a year in advance.

But yeah, I agree with you. I personally want to see the Archer legend utilize a DEX/INT spread with a focus on being a support class rather than a pure DPS machine like all other Archers have been thus far. Hell, my original idea was that the Archer Legend would be capable of mounted combat on a horse, as seen in the statues outside of Athena's house, and was the master of lightning and wind... Which Wild Hunters promptly took, turning the horse into a jaguar and ditching the elements.

I made up a new idea immediately after Wild Hunters were revealed, and you can see that in my only blog post on this site. Note that it was published a few days before we knew about Big Bang, funny how that works. Admittedly, my new idea sucks, as it's a bit too much like Evan. Your bladed bow concept sounds really neat, although I honestly only see something like that playing like a Wild Hunter, just without the mount. (Then again, the vast majority of melee classes play the same, just with slight differences in mobility and invincibility frames.)

I had thought the DEX/INT spread to be possible until Nexon Korea decided to add a STR requirement for Level 130/140 Archer gear.

Maybe we can look to the Thief legend for something new, but again, that's IF the picture still has any merit to it. Perhaps a class that uses both the weapon attack of her dagger AND has some shield bashing techniques that factors defense into the damage formula as well?
