The last clipping of my character MapleMouse as a Huntress Ranger before she returned to the Start Menu and started her position as a Crossbow Sniper instead.
I've been a crossbow babe since 2005 thru 2010ish and have never regretted that choice... ever. Same cannot be said about taking the Ranger path in Artale. It's just not for me. The playstyle isn't that similar to what's used with crossbows, and I couldn't stomach it... even if the end game has the all impressive Hurricane Of Arrows for the Rangers.
Crossbow Snipers also have their own version of Area of effect skills like Arrow Rain, but in their case it pops up out of the ground, hence it's called Arrow Eruption... Kinda fitting for someone who lives in a state with an active volcano, no? xD
Anyway as with our AoE skill in a different direction, Crossbows also get Strafe which is like the Ranger's version, only a bit stronger due to crossbow's inherent power advantage in game. So I'm plenty satisfied to have that as my DAKKA skill. But there's one advantage to being a Sniper over a Ranger, in that Snipers have a skill called Blizzard which is an Ice Elemental attack imbued into a bolt that when shot at a target, normal field monster, or mini-boss or even main boss, will either slow them down substantially or literally freeze them in place, immobilizing them, allowing the Sniper to finish them off at will without fear of damage taken in return.
I did like the Ranger's AoE of Arrow Bomb being able to affect mroe than three targets at once, but I'm not bothered that Piercing Arrow only affects four in a straight line. I can deal with that... Plus crossbows get this skill in 2nd job, and I know how to best use it!
Anyway it was fun being a Huntress / Ranger for a short time. Maybe one day I'll try this again but for now, I'm going with what I remember best.

Seriously air pirates! Just like Myazaki's film Porco Rosso! I mean yeah the closet thing we get is the Pirate Class lol.
What I've discovered recently playing the modern Maple. The sad truth, no matter which character you make and build up to level 200, they all become jello. Taking high amount of damage no matter what class you make as it turns out. I guess the modern Maple is more fitting to Hardcore players because it looks like we are the old ones can't even do much lol.

Remember my Kana Sorceress, with her Healing Shield? I tried my best to keep your warrior alive in Savage Terminal, but dang those goons and those mutant nutria hit so damn hard, I myself couldn't leave my shield dome for too long to help you out. The best I could do was make a dome for myself to fight inside of, and make one for you so you could do the same...
As for my Queen Mercedes... I ended up having to use my boss fighting skill, Machine Gun Ring of Ishtar on normal field monsters as much as on bosses like Hilla or Magnus...
Not very fun when normal monsters are really mini-bosses on their own.....

Oh I remember! Yeah I took my Rambo knight to fight other level 200 monsters and it took over 5000 to 7000 damage in one hit. Anywhere in just 2 to 4 hits then dead. I was like.... "What happened?" Yeah it got to the point it wasn't that fun anymore where every monsters can kill you super easy like you said, they are mini bosses.
