Archer or Bm? I like pvp and tw's im not much of a grinder, i like the dam of archer in 1 on 1 but i like the bms aoe and stuns, also a dex bm can with nice gears can do a archer job imo , also alot more hp and a better gameplay, but at higher lvls whats better? My archer is 85 and i'd like to know before i waste alot of cash with it.

    damage output: archer > bm

    aoe/grinding: bm > archer

    pvp/tw: depends on player skill. if both players know their class, then archer > bm (unless bm is axe/hammer, in which case bm > archer)


    this is my opinion lol

    Archer really depends on the 89 choice you make. Demon is nice for arcane killing, Sage can take on the likes of HA and LA more conviently. Also, you need patience to get through the first 60 or so levels of archers.

    BMs have nice stuns, but their damage output is nowhere near as high as an archer. They can handle getting the normal shots of one though, along with hits from other barbs and BMs, and can tank some bosses too.

    Just throwing in a little of my own little 2 cents.

    advice to fledgling archers:
    Going sage is like drunken sex, at first she may look good, but when you wake up the next morning; you'll look at her and go WHAT HAVE I DONE.
