After last week’s overview of the classes in WildStar, Darion goes into much more detail about the Arcane Shooter class in this video.
The Arcane Shooter is a very good ranged DPS, but difficult to play. The combination of very strong attacks, high mobility, and self-healing abilities makes him one of the best classes in the game. This is balanced by small telegraphs, so it requires a good amount of practice to fully unleash his damage potential.
As a healer, the Arcane Shooter is versatile. He can be used both as a tank healer and as a group healer without hesitation, and he will be able to fulfill his role to full satisfaction. However, it also depends on the individual skill of the player.
