    Yea, have fun looking for archer -channeling gear.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    -channeling works for any class that has channeling time on their skills (all of them)

    I will, however, say that it is next to pointless, and people will point at you and call you names.

    -Channeling works for all classes for all Skills.

    -Channeling does not have any effect on normal attacks.

    For PvE, Archers usually uses normal attacks.

    You're not a real archer unless you can understand irony/sarcasm/dry humor.

    the answer to your question is already answered but heres my thought about -channeling.

    the -chan gears are not worth it for an archer, but getting the apo pot that ignores channeling for so many seconds is pure awesome!

    Instant deadly shot mixed with STA and Aim Low and w/e else you can combine in like 4-5 attacks depending on your cast time.

    Even a instant chain of metal attacks would be deadly to any HA class.
