Just for clarifacation, I nicknamed the Bowmen legend Artemis for the reason it's named after the Greek legendary huntress and goddess of the moon. Characteristics we may see: 1) Can weild both Bows and Xbows, and perhaps a new type of bow type called "Composites" which is like a heavy bow. 2) The speed of Artemis' skills depends on the equipment being used, but the power may differ at the same time, giving a wide range of choice to the players whether they want Fast attacks, Medium attacks, or Heavy attacks. 3) Higher avoid, face it, archers never really had much hp. But, where there is speed, there is agility, and where theres agility, there is fast godmode hax-like avoid skills. 4) Skill-wise, many of the skills may be Holy based, meaning, they might have Genisis arrow. 5) Flexability oriented; as i mentioned above, it's more than likley that the Artemis job will be based around using many bowmen weapons. However, there may also be a new system where you'd have to aim your skills as well, giving players the ability to shoot up, or down, or sideways etc. Just my two bits. =)

Shooting up and down would make it interesting, but couldn't really imagine it working in this game.

[/quote] Considering Dual Blades get a skill that knocks a mob into the air to set up for a skill to knock them back down... it wouldn't be all that hard for an up down combo skill for the bow legend.

Personally, I would prefer if it was an elf or something... I am tired of the named characters, like Arans and Evans, where they tell you you are THE legend, and you follow quests like you are the only one who is doing them, then you look around and notice there are twice as many of your "unique" character type running around than there are in total of all the adventurers... It should only be able to use the bow imo. The crossbow is nice, but it does not have a very 'epic' feel to it... just a tank character. In terms of the aimming system that many are proposing, it would require nexon to rewrite the very game engine on which maplestory is based... it would double the size of the game (in terms of memory use), due to its additional playstyle requirements, which are nothing like the current ones. The Aran's counter system only requires you to program a 'counter', which you stick in a box somewhere on the screen (I could have programmed one of these...) + it was used before. The Evans did not stray from any old skill types, they just have a permanent summon that only attacks on command. The Dual Blader (or Dual Bladder as some refer to it) makes use of the sectioning of classes, and the engine's ability to modify certain characteristics of a class, but not of any other class (I imagine that this was the most difficult, as they had to build this class without effecting the other thief jobs...) This on the other had requires a shooter style engine, as found in games like arcanists, and other timer games. I would like a lightning quick bowman who delt massive dps, but could be killed easily in 1-2 hits by everything it should be training on. lots of stuff like wind walk and avoidability increasing moves, and only one job advancement, with all of the skills (and bonus sp) coming from quests.

since Nexons already taken ideas from Eragon and Full metal Alchemist.. they might aswell make the new bowman legend shoot blue arrows like the Quincy's from bleach

I think they gonna use Xbows becuase on the screen that shows "the five heroes" fighting the black mage, the one in the middle is the bowmen and his bow looked alot like a Xbow.
