archer or wizard for tw & pvp?

krishal

hi i'm new and need help with picking a class. i'll be mainly playing tws but will pvp when tw is dead or gets boring. i want a ranged/magic class that does great in mass pvp while been good at 1v1s. i think archer or wizard will suit me best but i can't decide which one...would be great if someone can describe their roles/playstyle in tws.

also had a question about tws...does the action go on 24/7 or does it only happen when two factions decide to war? and is there any other form of mass pvp that goes on day and night?

About classes, you can check class specific forums for more info. But as far as I can say, if you think of playing a ranged magic class its better to look for another game.
If you decide on continuing with this game no matter what, its better to start with an assasin class. Its melee but it can act like ranged, be invisible, does dmg more than 10 times of a high geared magic class and easy to play unlike magic classes. As a magic class, psychics are the best but still they are nothing against melee classes in both pvp and pve.

But as a warning, this game is free to play, pay to win. If you actually think about showing some existance in TW or world PVP, then you must consider spending some real cash for this game or spend a considerable amount of time doing boring things like running the exact same dungeon like 10-15 times in a day.

For general knowledge about TW and PVP;
TW's can be done by factions at weekends on a fixed time, like around 20:00 server time so they won't take much place on your daily play. Additionally, you must be a member of a strong, tw capable faction to attend tws. and strong factions accept only strong players
In PVP servers, you can usually find places to do world pvp nearly any time of the day so you must choose a pvp server if you want a pvp oriented play.

its ad far as I can tell in a short msg, happy playing

Wizzies function as cata/tank killers in tw mostly. Archers snipe casters, especially clerics and their purge bows are op. Archers kinda have an edge in open world pvp but wizzies are great at end game as well. Idc what anyone says, archers are op, I've never seen any other class do as much dmg with low refined weapons. Wizzies shine most in TW. Sage wizzies are better here because their chi flow allows more frequent nukes, demon is better in world pk due to better control skills but both are still good at each. I would personally advise sage however since the new skills balance out the control skill issue while at the same time costing a bit of chi.

TW only occurs on weekends(fri, sat, and sun) and is initiated when one faction bids on another faction's territory to wage war over it

@Hegalen Please stop talking out of your ***. Assassins are only great for farming gear for and lvling main chars. Even then, spending money on a farming alt rather than a main is pretty stupid considering how much tedious farming it would take just to make that money back. Assassins are useless in tw and they're so op you won't be able to have as much fun as you would pking on other classes. And end game psys pretty much faceroll melee classes. Casters in general have a good chance vs melee classes barring assassins because they're rediculously unbalanced. Like seriously, if I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't be able to imagine a class this stupidly op. OP please ignore this person, she doesn't know what she's talking about and obviously hasn't discovered "kiting". Her info about everything else he/she said not pertaining to classes was correct though.

Sins? -.- The only class that can kill while undergeared and unskilled.

While archers are somewhat 'OP' their defences are still awful unless full JoSD and buffed, even then it's nothing like a wizard who can deal 20k damage through spark and d.pyro crit and take insanely low damage due to high physical and magical defence.

That said, unless you're going to R9 +10 JoSD them archer is probably a better choice just because of the R9 bow.

Well, I guess I could've worded that better. I don't think archers are op enough to need some kind of action taken on them and at least they're killable. It's not like the devs did something stupid and gave a dex weapon zerk. Oh wait...
