    nuh uh uh that doesn't look like a direct quote to me,

    As you can see " Its the easiest class to get 5.0 with" originally stated by B_K, is not the exact same statement as "archers can achieve 5.0 the fastest" stated by you. :3 see there is a difference

    Oh and my apologies saying it was from you, but my point still remains that the statement made is invalid.And lol at random troll coming in to ruin the debate.....

    And again....I was not talking about about what your talking about... I was strictly talking about getting to 5.0 in general regardless of the weapon....BASED ON THE STATEMENT THAT WAS MADE.

    me too... i think we need to define easiest

    when i say it, i mean cheapest and most effective way. a sin with claws is less effective than an archer, meaning a claw archer can get into top factions, where a claw sin is shunned away.


    if we are assuming everyone is using claws and wants to be in top factions

    1)archer
    2)bm
    3)barb
    4)sin
    5)veno

    I kited a little from 1-22. I never had to kite anything from 23-90 or so, except in TW, and that was just fun. I kited a Barb for ~5 minutes and let a cata squad through, which helped us win our TW (he got pissed that I kept stunning him, freezing him, and sealing him, not to mention, charm **** his butt). Cata squad got past him and took out the towers on Path A, all the way to their base, which allowed a second cata to go down B, switch to the A door, and get to their crystal.

    Anyway... I don't see kiting as a major component of playing an archer. Then again... I've always borrowed fists/claws from my BM, so if anything got close enough to me, I would switch, spark, and just punch the life out of it, if sparking was even needed.

    And also... I used Moonlight Bow/Sinister Shooter/The Penetrator/ whatever the other legendary slings/crossbows were from level 22-70, then used Wind and Clouds/Unicorn. So... I was a little OP, and auto attack on Moonlight Bow (mine was 2 socket and +3, I spoiled myself b:surrender) usually was enough to kill whatever mob I was toying with before it got close to me, even if it was 2-4 levels above me. :p

    If you wanna roll a 5.0 claw sin you might as well roll an archer for sexiness and blaze.

    Because THE ONLY thing that is worth playing in this game is Territory War. And Archer is fun to play with in TW. All you do is stand back and pewpew your epic skills and you can kill Arcanes superfast. I think Archer is the most fun is TW, then Psychic and wizard.

    And um archer with no kite=fail

    IMO anyway, as using a close range weapon does nothing to remedy our poor defenses and you can't always burn sparks for single mobs that get to close (lol really).

    But Pve, you should rarely find yourself kiting unless you are soloing a boss. Should be able to kill things decently fast enough to get them before they reach you :o

    As for pvp, kiting is a central component of playing an archer. :|

    Okay, from now on, I'll kill my mob before it gets to me, then run away!

    And... There's a genie skill... Huh... What's it called. Oh, cloud eruption. Yeah...

    Using that, and fists, you can more or less spark on every freaking mob that gets close enough to be a problem.

    In TW, I kite all the time. Almost never in PVE. In PVE, I was grinding on mobs ~8 levels higher than myself, and thus, I was pew-pewing them at max range, then switching to claws and using the claws to finish them. Once I get R8 or Nirvana bow, I think I'll have to kite less, but I'm 10 levels away from either. >_>

    Lol just kill it before it hits you, then you wont have to run away from it's carcass, unless you are so offput by it that you must flee in disgust.

    And theres a genie skill..huh..whats it called. Oh, cloud eruption. yeah... Using that you can successfully burn your entire genie to death just to finish off one mob with claws when you could have finished it off with a bow or a close range skill.

    And grinding mobs 8 levels higher nerfs your exp and drops as well I believe, it is best to try to stay within 5 level range.

    It doesn't (See: Every monster in the game with ? for a level), but it does hurt in the long run due to decreased kill speed.

    so after observing this for the pass 2-3 months, ive noticed a lot more people making archers. im just curious as to why? XD we were deemed the worst aps class damage wise, and people swore how they couldnt play a range class and get used to kiting, yet im seeing sins,bms,barbs,clerics and every other class under the sun reroll archers XD whats your reason if youve recently rerolled an archer?

    note: dunno if this is in the wrong section lol >_>

    Must be your awsome vids :p

    I just tested this and it appears to be correct, but yes it isn't ideal to grind things that you can not kill quickly without having to GG ones genie and spark just to kill it xD
