    U know, there is a balance in PW )
    If Archer is strong by his crits, he'll have got not much hp so that's why he's a good victim for melee. As human mage too. And there are some pros and cons for every class.
    Anyway, I guess archer is the best pvp class. But if u don't want play it, choose what u like and do pvp build it.
    Here I should write nicknames of my chars in other games, but I'm too lazy.

    EA - Magic + physical attacks, highest crit rate.

    WB - DOES NOT DIE

    MG - **** 10-30 people at once in Territory War

    WF - Debuffs / bramble array will result in WR/WB **** themselves.

    EP - Stack heals, buffs, magic + physical attacks.

    WR - Chain stuns, keeps classes from moving or even attacking back an entire fight if 1v1.


    There's a lot more Pros for each class but im really tired and ima sleep now I might post more later.

    you can pick a class and call it best in a pvp server, all class need some other class to make it out alive, If you got all the class you need your doing great really, Once of each is always good, but its like rock paper cutter things, One class beat another class and that class beats that class, So your stuck find out what class you can beat and what class you should avoid to most unless you can take him.

    A priest that is built for PVP is deadly.
    A priest had wonderful debuffs. Has a sleep spell and can heal itself.

    Tell me about it man! Provided you level/stat the priest correctly, priests can outdamage even MGs without the cooldown time. Now throw in the Sleep/Paralyze debuffs and Heals.

    That's why I'm using a priest. I may be very low-leveled now, but i'll get there someday! b:victory

    but you can't take the fight outta the soldier!

    Archers rule small PVP. Warriors and mages rule TW.

    Archers are actually pretty deadly in TW too. I don't know the name of the skill, but they open it like Cleric's bubble or Mages big AOE. It spits out tons of arrows and does MASSIVE damage. Almost insta death to all robes if they get caught in it. Not a good thing. Might be called Arrow Bombardment or something to that effect. Either way, it's pretty cool to see.

    Depends on the talent of the player mostly. At least in this game. I have to admit the classes are pretty balanced for PVP.

    sorry to disappoint you, but your 53 matches (duels...) don't really say anything. Duels don't have suprise, duels don't have hierograms, every normal persons starts duels with full chi-bars and so on.

    Venomancers in free pvp are good if you suprise people (stun, pet with bleedbug, bramble hood to survive in the meantime,...), but dead if any physical class suprises you (chainstunned by warriors, 2 hit by archers, perditioned by barbarians and so on). Light Armor makes Venomancers somewhat better to survive with, but you still lack important selfbuffs.

    lvl60-80 Range Archers are damn deadly to pretty much everyone, though Warrios can beat them easily with stuns if done right. Mages may have equally high damage output, but can be rather squishy sometimes (aside from LA mages).

    But yes, the classes are pretty balanced.
