I am trying to decide which class I would rather play. I love the damage output of both classes, but I am curious which one is better PvP wise. I went through alotta different guides for both classes, but still remain undecided.b:surrender

    If you are pro enough to use Voodoo at the best time, roll a psy.
    If you aren't - archer.
    Achieved R9 before it was mainstream.

    the can both be as potent as each other in terms of offense.

    Psy is a lot more defensive however. The ability to stack defensive ornaments on physical defense as well as the purify proc at end game and high soul force makes a psychic a difficult target.

    Archers take a lot more work to play as defensively

    I have a 101 psy and archer. I personally enjoy the psy more because it feels more engaging to play - you have to know when to use which voodoo, when to psychic will, which moves are most effective in which scenario (Glacial Shards in NW zomg <3<3)...

    Also, not having the damage nerf in close range is really nice, plus lowbie sins aps'ing themselves to death on me b:laugh

    On the other hand, psychics are expensive (it's amazing how quickly I find myself at 0 mana, especially if my Soul buffs are triggered a lot) whereas on an archer, you can get free arrows from guild base so if you're not spamming skills, then you can save some money.

    Psy is pretty much all about gear tanking while archer is more mobile and has a higher skill cap
