There's something that you all should notice about the combat system:
-For normal monsters, they only attack with normal strike, with manual aiming. Thats why we could dodge it (most of the time). But for us bow player, we mainly use auto aim, which guarantee 100% hit on targets, so, basically, if we have an ultra skill on a bow ( mine deals around 6-8k damage), most people would not survive after a hit.
-Melee player wont be able to stand a chance against range player, obviously because of that I mentioned above (except some who actually have tsu-kaze)
