Poison Arrow - This is a self buff that lasts 5 minutes. It gives you a chance to cause poison damage using basic attacks. The damage amount is decent at high rappelz-item.com/tag/level/">levels . This is useful in a DP and when field farming; however, the poison damage is a DOT and will un-freeze your targets. This is a problem in PvP when a Icicle Snare is used.
Note that after your job change, you will initially be leveling the above skills before most of the new Archer skills unlock. Archer Skills: In addition to the above skills, most of which can be leveled higher as an Archer, you gain the following skills:
At job level 5: Vision of Prey - This skill allows you to see through an assassin's cloak skill. As you level it, the range will increase. As you should be able to guess, this is a PvP skill.
At job level 10: Snare of Corrosion - This is your first trap. It is particularly useful for small parties in dungeons since it decreases a mobs PAtk and PDef for 15 seconds and has an area of effect (AOE) which will target nearby mobs with the debuff as well. Try and get mobs to run over one. Standing on it appears to prevent it from triggering as readily. It has been suggested that you get under a boss in a mob fight and keep setting the trap off.
Mysterious Energy - This is another heal skill. Use this with Mental Concentration. Every time you get a critical during the 30 seconds after casting, you will receive hit points back. Works best if all your other skills are NOT on cool down since you can usually cast skills faster than basic attacks. See footnote for historic information.
