Nice!
I did a few Basilisks and Kuma solo last night... today I need to do Kuma a few more times and some Naga thing.
And I just got glyphs! And oh god, are they overpowered. One of the first ones available has a 50% chance to reset the cooldown on a skill that chains after almost every skill I have
and there's another one that makes it heal 3% of my HP... I'm never dying again unless I do something dumb LOL.
First death was attempting to solo the Basilisk... took me a little to adjust ;__; It's a long fight with my shit gear, and one or two errors really can ruin it.

You're moving pretty quickly.
I got on today see if I could level up some. Only leveled up once, couldn't find a group to run an instance for the life of me...

I levelled from 1 to 20 on the first day and the second I wasted on screwing with the Basilisk/doing other things outside the game basically.
But yeah, just going straight at the quests... the levelling of slayers seems really fast paced. Maybe it's all in my head, but I feel like I'm going at least 3 or 4 times as fast as my archer was.

archers sucks even before that, almost no AoE skill, single target attack is not that strong either.

There are three major problems with archers:
1. Charge Shot being one of their major dps options. This is the same problem that makes Berserkers bad, but recently they buffed zerker charge speed so its not nearly as big of a problem for them. But archers still have the same charge rate. Charging in an action game where the enemy jumps across the screen makes it really annoying to actually do dps. Charge charge charge.... oh the boss leaped over. Cancel. Run towards. Charge charge charge... This happens a lot end game where the enemies absolutely refuse to sit still, and when the dps rate actually matters, this becomes a huge liability.
2. Poison Shot is another one of their major dps options. But as you get higher and higher in enemy difficulty, they seem to gain more and more resistance to shit like this. When you can't apply poison on the boss, you're not doing your fair contribution of dps that other classes are doing.
3. Rain of Arrows has the same exact problem as charge shot. Your character shoots in to the air for like 2 seconds, and 2 seconds later the arrows all fall in one spot for a period of time. Its a powerful attack, assuming the enemy sits right still inside of the aoe for the full duration. Which it wont. A sorc's glacial storm is more or less the same thing, except it is instant and applies slow. Nothing feels worse than firing off a rain of arrows and seeing the first drop of arrows come down right as all the trash mobs in the room die too.
When 3 of your best dps skills are liable to miss or not work, you're really dragging your team down. A lot of people get really offended when they hear this, and say stuff like "but player skill etc etc", but if a skilled player is doing fine with an archer, he's probably doing even better with another class.
Alternatively, archers are pretty good dps if the enemy is grounded in place and does not ever move. But level 60 bosses are grown being fed grown Colombian coffee beans.
Edit: Also traps. The fuck are you gonna do with traps.
