I'm stuck with picking between making an Archer with the 4dex-1str Build or a Full Attack Cleric from Cayeon's Guide. I've tried playing the archer up to level 10, but think the reduced damage of your shots when target is too close is kind of a pain. I've only tried the Full Attack Cleric up to level 7, and so far so good.

Basically I'm looking for a class that can kill stuff quickly from a distances, so yeah, I would like to hear some of your opinions on which I should pick a Full Attack Cleric or Basic Archer?

    At the lower levels the Cleric will be better, but after lvl 20+ they become very even and I believe the archer becomes better as time goes on, to a point. I believe in end game the Wizard is the best for ranged classes, but I don't have any personal experience there so it would be best to let others explain a bit better.

    Spear Warrior's have a knock back skill, really useful against Venomancer's pets, just knock the pets back and attack the Venomancer directly =)

    You dont attack them, just knock them back and the Venomancer is defenseless, then you stun, cast your two bleed skills *Bleed will stack* and stun, meh I'll show you in game, lol

    As much as I'd like to see that I dont think I'll be playing on PVP haven't decided yet, the whole no lvl cap thing in pvp is kinda annoying.

    I guess you should make a cleric if you like to play in a party and help others, archer is more a solo class.

    Thanks for all the Input and from the info gathered here I guess Archer would be the choice for me then Instead of the Cleric.

    well archer has ONLY ONE stun skill
    knock back DOES NOT work on player, so i say just lvl 1 point on it, coz lvl 1 and lvl 10 they both knock back 12ms, so when lvling, for early lvl weapon isnt good enough to make kills fast, and ur dex is too low to have frequent critical, so normally start with shield -> posion -> 4 normal shots -> knock back -> few more shots. however since knock back can STOP mob casting, so use it wisly, when u see those hyper mobs (mela/spell) that cast some spell when their hp is low, only cast knock back that time, it will stop them casting and they will run back to u or get confused. however u CAN NOT stop casting if the casting is done just about to throw the spell to u. its hard to describe.. but u will find out the hard way. BTW shield only take 80% damages, so use it wisly

    for me i dont think going pure dex is such a good idea coz ur hp will be so low, i say 4 dex and half on str half on point on hp.

    and i heared the spells from archer goes thru cleric's shield too :P but i havnt really tried that, so from mid game archer will win hands down, in theory archer got the highest dps over long period of time, mage only good for short period, but with critcal.. archer vs mage.. its all about skill + luck (in terms of critcal)
