(sorry for using "we" didnt wanna use "you" woulda been rude I mean think about it.... reblace the "we"'s with "you"'s)
my acrobat is only level 16 so i have know idea how good rangers are. bows are slow becasue to do good damage you ahve to charge em up. i'm using a crappy normal level 15 bow and i do about 325 on a charge 4 hit, probably about 450 on a crit (i don't get 'em a lot, so i forgot how much exactly). and i play international flyff, so the arrows are muc hmore convenient. 3000 arrow stacks (yes 3000) and you buy 1000 at a time. they should juts eliminate the charging and change attack speed to normal or slow, and then we'd be pretty good.
Okok, so you can carry 3000 per stack compared to 200 per stack in jflyff. Still doesnt chage the fact that bow/yoyo damage(base dmg) is weak, does it?
Well, I have an lvl 16 acro and that's what I can tell about it:
*Bow speed IS fast just like the description says. This "FAST" is seen when you Ctrl+L.Click a monster.
*Bows can ALSO charge (just like mages wands), doing up to 2,5x² more damage.
*Since Bows relies on DEX to do dmg, missing enemies won't be a really big problem.
*Junk Arrow Skill DO REALLY misses on early lvls! It's like getting five zeros in a row then hitting once...
*Bows hits more far¹ than magic skills, so using this sure helps fighting enemies
----------
¹ = I'm pretty sure it's not "more far"... sorry for my bad english...
² = It's more like 2,3x, though.
----------
So, with these facts in hand, a good aproach to solo play with bows would be charging an enemy from afar to do extra dmg (2,5x), and Ctrl+L.Clicking. Still, this is not an easy task soloing with a bow, since you can clearly see other classes killing faster than you.
----------
Let me show you how I do:
I'm lvl 16 as I told before, and right now I'm fighting 2nd Class Feferns and there's no upgrade on my bow (nor elemental).
*I have 40 Dex
*My normal dmg is 144. My charge dmg is 340+.
*I rarely miss an attack.
*Sometimes I can beat a monster and get no dmg from it.
*The mob hits me at about 1~2 times in a battle.
*Junk Arrow does 260+ dmg each hit (if it hits!)
*If I Charge than normal attack the mob from the bow's longest range, when the mob gets the chance to "try" hitting me, It already has lost smth between 1/3 and half of it's HP. -> this is the most important thing to consider when been an archer acro.
----------
I can tell few about yoyos since I haven't bought one (yet) to test, but from what I have heard, you just can't wait to see high dmg from jesters since they're a "defensive tricks" class. Once I test it I'll tell it here.
EDIT:
I forgot to add this. It's in bold up there.

Sorry, but that wont happen once you reach higher lvls, especially fishes and up.
Fuck it, I'm droping my acrobat. I thought if I added enough dex I oculd get a decent attack speed (faster then my BP later on anyways) but it doesn't seem to be happening.
YoYo Acro's = waste of time. Use a bow. At leas then you get junk arrows to make your life slightly easier.
oh well, acro sucked so bad, even after reading all the things bout how acro sucks, im started 1...bah... cant they do a change to acrobats, its too sucky to even level! guess we can only play blade,ele,assist? acrobat are not ftw, IMO
btw like Rezende said if u charge ur long range attack u attack way harder i do like 380+ at lvl 19 with 42 dex and a greetin bow. WEll if u charge the attack and then use ur junk arrow action slot skill u will not get touched.
