If there was a 3rd branch for thief, bowman or pirate...

Long bowmen?

uses long bows?

What's the difference between a longbow and a shortbow? o_o

I think one shoots further?

What about repeating crossbows? 0_o
For the archers of course.

I would rather have a third branch of mages, clerics & mages should not have been in the same job.

Longbows generally were more for distance. Like in the movie 300 with the scene of raining arrows. That would've been something a longbow would be used for. Shortbows were more so for short accurate shots.

However, in a game like Maplestory, there'd be no difference between the two unless you make Longbowmen have crazy AOE attacks .

Why?
Most RPGs that make you CHOOSE group them together.
I actually kinda like the 2 elements or Cleric idea.
Alot of RPGs are - Black mage- White Mage- Red Mage- some times a Green or Blue mage.
...
Obviously all mages are kinda Green (buffs) for Ms
A blue mage would be TOO powerful probably (HT move NOW@@)
though a TRUE Red mage- that would be nice- Nexon obviously considered it - Fusion Mace. But discontinued it.
