Well i am still confused about which class would be better, i have always loved magic classes but i have heard archers in this game are strong so which one would win in a 1vs1 situation:)

    It depends on how good your eq is. The one with overwhelmingly good eq will win.
    Some minor factors would be the player skill and character build.

    Wizards are better fully buffed.
    Archers are better solo.
    As a Guild,

    Live as One, fight as One, win as One.

    Hmm, i playing PW around 6 months, and i can tell archers almost allways own mages, archers are the best PvP class in PW.

    The game isn't only limited to those two classes though. You'll also be fighting other classes, and against some, Wizards will be better, and against others, Archers will be better.

    It won't always be 1 v 1 either. There are times when Wizards are better for group pvp.

    There ISN'T a "Best" PvP class, archers are good.. yeah but so are wr's and mg's.. and wf's.. -_- it all depends on how you build your char and how SKILLED you are when PK time comes. As simple as that.

    This isn't a stupid question, but it's fundamentally incorrect. There really is no "better" class. Each class is strong and in a PVP situation the player who has the best combination of level, stats, equipment, skill set, strategy, and actually PVP skill will win. The element of surprise alone should enable you to get a few uncontested hits in on your enemy too; which is what I meant by strategy.

    Seriously if one class was proven to be superior above all others in PVP we'd be playing Perfect Archer, not Perfect World.

    If you last name is Bush or Gates, any class will be good for you, yup, ANY. Other cases, the more you pay, the better you will be.
    Why...so...serious?

    I believe any half decent wizard will beat an archer 79+ with these new skills I read about.

    The problem with mages is timing. An archer can time when the mage will cast and shoot an arrow that will interrupt the cast.

    archer shuld win the battle hands down.... light armor has somewhat resist vs magic

    robes have little resist vs physical attack... let alone those criticals

    I don't think any of these people even know how to compare the wizard skills to archer skills. I won't get too advanced here but wizards can disable archer attacks before an archer can stun. If you don't know what I'm talking about, that means you know nothing about archer or wizard pvp and your opinion fails here. With a new wizard skill at 79 you can even further that gap that disables the archer from attacking you which can even let you kill him before he attacks you once. I'm talking 0 vigor here as well, none of that sutra ****.

    a wise archer will use his wings of grace and elven alacrity and avoid being stunned or sleeped in a pvp and winged shell to lower the dmg THEN stun

    Not all wizards use robes. LA wizards can actually have enough PDef to give archers a headache.

    Archer has a slight range advantage over wizards. I've taken out high 8x (though uncharmed) wizards by using Aim Low, Stun, and Holy Path to kite them. Wings of Grace and single-sparking to negate attacks also works well, if you can keep your chi up and get the timing right. The 79 sleep skill only has 20m range, and distance shrink has a long cooldown.

    Still, I'd say the single biggest factor is who gets the first shot.
