So my question is simple, what archer class (Hunter, Scout, Ranger) would be best for bow spec? I know skill obviously plays a part but with Old RAs do Hunters fall short in sniping and do Rangers still mostly only melee and etc.

If you don't like buff yourself by using expencive charges try out ranger, they will be also fine with their anytimer side stun and back snare and good mele dmg. The last one imo will be hunter, but hey! they can also be good to play if you like high mele dmg by 2h weapon ! It is just of matter what you like more and what you enjoy more playing. I will personally roll a ranger like i did on uth v1 and will try it out ! Best Sniper Ranger on Uthgard since 2007. Looking for maps? Try http://jarqo91.wix.com/daoccamps

Or play against a group like that? I have. Absolute devastation. The group that runs up against them can't kill them fast enough because smite clerics have sooooooo many tools at their disposal combined with decent ranged damage with 8 of them dudes doing it!

Now keep in mind this was Old See Hidden which was clipping plane, I believe uthgard will have New See Hidden which is 800-900 units, still much farther then MOS5. Even with a cleric buffbot with 50 in Enhance playing Scout was pure pain. Once camo was down you would get mobbed by 10 assassins. Basically it went like this. Port Emain. Stealth to AMG with camo up. Kill 1 person. Haul ass away, still die since every assassin had See Hidden, release. Port Emain..........rinse repeat. I think a lot of archers are in for a rude awakening. See Hidden isn't fun. There will be a group of people out there who will want this realm to be entirely Mythic-like. Exactly like vanilla, drop rates/xp rates, basically everything and you will not be able to please them unless it is exactly like vanilla. These people have their nostalgia goggles on so tight it's cutting off the bloodflow to their brain and they believe that vanilla was perfect and nothing was wrong with it.
