    I enjoy BM personally, more options with a BM and the PvE is easy since you tank damage..

    The BM might be more expeensive due to non-stop repairs in grinding, I think we're one of the worst at making $ off grinding.b:surrender But I don't know too much about Archer, haven't made one yet.

    What do you prefer and spend the most coin and zen on?

    Well it's up to preference. BM's are the best at PvE past lvl 60 (arguably) because of their pro grinding skills. They're also pretty good a PvP. Archers are better at PvP but are also good at PvE.

    Depends on the BM in Pvp.

    True, but I think they're all relatively good at pvp, am i wrong? If played right anything can be good at pvp.

    u would think so, but it's a sad fact that half of the warrior tree is specifically built for pve, while others are built for pvp. where one fails, another will exceed. swords and axes are primarily the greatest pve choices for a warrior. fist and spears being more geared towards pvp.

    That's good to hear. Being good at pvp as an axe/sword user just shows your skilled then b:kiss

    no. when fighting an equally geared opponent 90+, neither an axe nor sword can kill someone solo. maybe after dragon, assuming that person is an idiot and lets the warrior get hits in afterwards.

    the only hope a sword user has is that he's against something silly, like a hybrid archer.

    I dont know about that. Axe bms can be pretty damn annoying at PvP. 15 second stunlock? Anyone can be dead in 15 seconds.

    it's true, a stun lock is rather annoying. too bad it wont kill me, it'll just annoy me. once i get away, they'll die. and i'm not even 90 yet.

    Maybe you wont die in 1 v 1 pvp, but if you get stunned for that long then an archer or barb could easily come up and kill you in a tw or pk.

    A benefit of being a Sword BM.

    Archers miss just as much as me, sometimes more. (lil higher than my level and lower, not much higher lvls)

    you should try fists then. despite the much lower dex compared to archers, fist blademasters have similar evasion (without buff). thus you'll always have more chi.

    bms actually get more accuracy/evasion per dex than archers do i believe.

    I would say BM for pve is better, as archers damage is terrible up close. Archers probably win for pvp though, as long as they keep away

    Archers do better at fighting from the air and don't need to be within melee range.

    all depends on what you like.


    do you wanna be up close in the heat of battle?

    or do you wanna sit back crack open a cold 1 and pick off anything that moves?

    both classes have pros n cons just like the rest.

    u can kill all of the cheap people now, who refuse to spend money on their armours until 90. just wait until then. you'll only be useful for stunning people in tw, and cursing the opponent cart puller.

    Being a complete dex archer I don't often get hit by mobs. Mostly cause they are stunned or I use knock back. And I kill them faster than any vm I am have squaded with. Pvp I think bm would be better cause all I do as an archer is run and hit. Abit boring. But I kill them none the less

    thankfully the warriors in heaven's tear are terrible and think they're invincible, so they run wildly away from their parties in tw and end up dying.

    No. For example, sword users can also hope for something nice from crafting.

    And other than sword and fist blademasters, blademasters usually only hit me with their automatic hit skill, even when wearing two misty forest rings.
