hi I was wondering if you all wanted to compile all sorts of helpful hints and create an archer guide, as well as guides for each of the classes.
I'll start with the obvious hints:
1. Don't stand still. You're an open target to both scouts, and other archers.
2. If you're in a 1 vs 1 situation a good strategy if you can't head shot them is to fire shot the ground near them. Then poison them while their on the ground, and as soon as they get up Multishot them in the face. This will usually kill them, unless its a warrior who might have a little health left.
3. Anyway, this might save you a few multishots. When your prey gets up, wait a second before firing the multishot. They seem to have some sort of invisibility for a second when they stand. Also, when you're in a close range battle, but are outnumbered, keep running back and firing arrows that target the most people as possible. For example, if 3 warriors are chasing you, fire a fire arrow in the middle of the three. All three will usually go down, giving you an easier time with the poison and multishots. A warrior is usually no problem for an archer at mid to close range, but if you get within the reaches of the warrior, you're dead meat.

4. Finally, it's good idea, if you're in a 1v1 situation, to poison your enemy first. This takes away a lot of health, and makes it MUCH easier to directly hit or headshot them with a fire arrow as they become incredibly slow. Strafe of run in a random motion.

5. oh 1 thing that i find useful is 2 poison a mage as ur first attack. only do it if u know ur not going 2 headshot them though. its good because if u arent aiming for their head nd u waste ur fire or multi shot on them they will heal nd u will be up shit creek fighting a mage with full health with only a poison arrow. but if u poison them first they will heal then u can start the beat down with ur fire arrows nd multi sht.

6. Oh one more thing. If you encounter one of those lame mages who just shield their way across to you, I have a nasty surprise that you can use, Pretend to stand still from shock that a scary mage is approaching, or back up a little. Then, the moment he is just out of lightning range, arm your fire arrow, run straight towards him. When you go inside his shield (It will still be up as he will be shocked at what you're doing), headshot him. Or just do the fire arrow-poison arrow-multi shot routine, when you're inside the shield.

Lets add more and I can modify the post to make a more complete guide.
