    Um Im a lvl 69 archer and against Dreamless he missed me a lot. When he did hit me, it was only enough to tick my heiro. Best things about being an archer are the misses from mobs and other players and the second thing is not having to wait to fly until im lvl 30.

    The thing i hate about barbs and blademasters is when they chain stun me and i cant attack or anything.

    archers have 60% chance of killing pole/sward blademasters, but fist blademasters counter archers
    blade would definitely win before lv 50, after that, if they both got same level of equips and same level of controling skills, archers would gradually win more, and at lv 89, archers' peak level, the pride of blademasters will fade

    btw, additional info for those stunners out there....

    even we are in stun, our evasion still takes place on it so u will still miss even we are stunned (dunno why our evasion dont go zero in stun tho) so dont get too happy when u stun us b:victory

    about the mold that increases ur accuracy by 50% at lvl 79, yup thats a big no for us ea, but we come back on it with our 79 skill (1000% additional evasion rate ^^) hope u hit us on that when we pop out that skill ;p...

    and at 88, we can get the mold that gives 2% additional crit (might ring as far as i am told) make it 2....

    pray our metal skills wont crit b:bye

    I just find it oddly funny... That people more or less saying they can win against any archer are those players playing on Heavens Tear - where PVP is restricted to only those who choose to participate in it.

    Whilst - the individuals who are saying its more or less even depending on armor and the order of skill spams are speaking from experience in Lost City where all players are forced into the PvP and PK situations.

    Good Blademasters? In the populace of Lost City there have to be some good ones.

    On the other side - Archers on Lost City are no slouches. Most of them have to fend off PK'ers looking for easy kills. By now I'd assume they'd know when they can or cannot win.

    Besides, most of the blademaster arguments have yet to factor in the sparks, and mobility immunity buff that archers have at higher levels. I saw it mentioned TWICE, but none of the subsequent "Pro-Blademaster" arguments have even addressed it. It would be awefully bad if a stun were to be counter-acted by a stun-immunity skill...

    I might be mistaken but I have yet to see a "blademaster wins all" post here that talks about facing a Demon Archer.

    Not my BM^^ She can still survive your barrage of attack. Once I fought an archer which has the exact same move as you describe. Guess? I defeated him. :p The Key? Stun and Alter Marrow Magical. 4800 Metal Def (L70) is far too much for Archers, even if debuffed. Oh and it's L72 vs L72 battle. A fair one^^

    Yeah, flying is one way that an Archer can completely win against BM. However contrary to your belief, I prefer stay in Magic Marrow when fighting against Archers because Archers have break distance^^ And I am exploiting it.

    Oh,.. and you forgot the BM's stun ;)

    One reason why most high leveled archer's name in red :p However, if you use the minimap and zoom to 1st person perspective, you can locate the Archer easily, but that does not mean easier win, though.

    And

    this is called theorycrafting. your putting senarios on how x class will win y class. anyone can do that with any class here on the fourms.

    how a class shines is dependant on player skill. Also i really hate this 1 on 1 senario. REAL pvpers know how to work like a TEAM. they will know how to lure. bait. and counter. No matter what class you are and how uber your gear is, youll get easly owned by players who know how to work like a team.

    While i may have yet not pvped in this game, i belive the same priciple applys to any game. if in tw one group is attacking and the other is defending. it will be completely stupid for 1 player to go alone hoping to find another player all lonely waiting to die. skilled pvpers will use their defences , and know when to do a counter offence, or the attackers lure the defenders out of their turtle and win.

    in pure pvp servers (ive played in different games) the smart players will never wander alone. they know the chances of living is bigger when in groups.

    only the fools and unskilled dare to wander alone and most of the times its these who are easy kills.

    But white named people that have been offering themselves up to be killed (without fighting back) have been doing something valuable for all of us.

    (They drive pk players names red, which drives cash shop sales. :)

    As for the first question.. I've grown for a love of Archers, so there's not much of an answer there.

    And for the second, It could go either way, but Archer has the better chance.

    I actualy like Archers more then Blademasters they both have strong skills and boths have ther strong and weak parts. I would say that archer is best pvp class cause of fast range attacks with good damage but still i never seen archer hitting more then pure wiz same lvl the problems is that wiz have low HP and low phy def... But i must say no matter how good archer is if blademaster gets archer from suprise and keep using stuns archer have no chance...
    b:angry Hate the stun so much......b:irritated

    Well the question is easy.

    1. Why did you choose for Archer and not Blade Master?

    2. If you put archer against Blade master (same lvl) who would have a higher rate to win?

    blademasters are very fun to play with, they have a lot of skills that you can use between Swords, poleblades, axes and fists. The graphics are awesome but an archer usually wins the duel, unless they have a good refined weapon and have a maxed alter marrow magical. Archers are just kinda boring, not fun but Wins a lot. If you look at my records vs all bms i fought, i have like a 6.0 kill to death ratio.
    Please donate money into my mailbox :)

    I'm poor as heck.

    duels or pk? bms are much harder to actually kill when charms are involved
