 * SEMI SPOILER ALERT**  Allow me to start by saying this to Capcom-Thank you for a Monster Hunter-esque game for ps3, as you have teased me since pulling my monster hunter servers for ps2...yes I played that game online, more hours than I know, and proud. Give me a true sequel in North America dammit!

But I digress...

I've been reading the posts and replies here and decided to update a bit for any confused. Magick archer does indeed use elemental enchantments for each skill with the bow, this combined with the elemental abilties of the daggers make for a very versitile class. For example- if one equips the magick flare, x-fold shot and ricochet withh the bow, and shadow shackle,immolation (very useful IMO) and either hundred kisses or cutting wind, you are wielding all of the elements plus one back up physical combo (which of course can be subbed for any preferred element). I started as a strider, maxed it and changed to assassin, maxed that and went to magick archer. I am now roughly 60+ hours into the game and have had little trouble with this set up. My pawn is a warrior (maxed) and I have to mages from the rift for heals/status ailments and extra holy support, as it seems most enemies are weak vs holy in the post dragon game..(after sending Gransys into chaos by slaying the dragon of the main plot, I warned you there were spoilers). Occassionally I may swith out 1 mage for a sorc just for that extra elemental push, but so far this has treated me rather well, even when venturing a bit further into the Everfall. And yes-you do get other magick bows rather quickly, I'm suprised so many haven't found them. There's the Magian Crutch, the Iron something or other (sorry I sold it so fast I didn't see the name) and then the special dragon's weapon for whatever class you are when you fight the dragon (in magick archers case, magick bow and daggers as that is my primary, bow and staff seems redundent with all that ranged magick, why not just go sorc?), and then there's the Herald's Helix after that, I believe there was one more earlier on but it was nothing special. Anyway that's about all I got as that's as far as I've come so far, but I'm to journey deeper into the Everfall later so who knows?!

PSN-Cthulu_Cuddler  Pawn:Lenneth- lvl 56 warrior (also maxed fighter and mage)

BTW-IMHO sacrificial shot is a total waste unless you're using magick archer for the trophy to max out the all skills of 1 class. It kills your main pawn instantly, and even though it does massive damage, it will not pass through-say-the barrier of an evil eye nor will it slay later bosses in 1 hit all the time..if your pawn kinda sucks or you don't need it, by all means, but not for me.
