    It's really depend on the player.
    i don't know about archer cause i only play wizard(lvl60+).
    well, i think wizard is hard to lvl and challenging.
    it's because i'm a easy player, i don't like being stress when playing game.
    playing game is for FUN ,not to worry and careful everytime when i kill a mob.
    but so bad, i love magic and wizard is my one and only char.
    i have played wizard in Fiesta. b:victory

    Archer. Easier to play, faster to level, both pve and pvp. Wizard is the gimped class of PWI.

    archer is easy and straightforward to plan while wizard is... the very opposite.

    If you really had to ask this in a wizard forum, go play an archer.

    Hmmm... Haven't played in a while. Know why? Because I kinda grew tired of this archer. Really, he used to be a lot of fun in the first 10 levels. Then it started getting slower and more expensive to train him. Then it started getting boring and uninteresting. The only thing that actually entertained me was PK-ing and I did that for a while, having been part of the notorious guild Ethereal for quite some time. I have to say, PK-ing is the only great thing about an archer.

    I didn't have money, I could hardly find good grinding spots and the whole levelling thing seemed so tough. Look at my level and then look at my join date. Yep, that's September 2008. I know I'm a slow leveller, but playing an archer actually enhanced this trait of mine. I played this archer actively (meaning 2-3 hours a day) for 7 months. Instead of being a 9x or at least 8x CQ/RQ/GZ/whatever Robin Hood type of guy, I'm a mediocre lvl 59 archer with 5k in his bank and no decent weapons or armour.

    But why did I decide to post this? Because I also have a mage, which I built following Pandora's and some other people's guides. And I have to say, I loved him from day 1. This is simply the best class for me. The mage never misses, he may not often crit, but he deals nice, constant and reliable damage. He has 3 elements at his disposal and is one of the best classes when it comes to PvE, which means he levels fast. And yeah, it didn't take me more than 10 days to get to lvl 30 with him. With the archer, gaining that lvl had taken more than a month. What's more, the mage had a ton of money sitting in his bank and he could actually grind and kill mobs a few lvls higher than him: something that my archer can only dream of.

    It's just that the archer is great for PvP, he's more rounded gameplay, but getting to the lvls that are good for PvP-ing is a real pain in the ****. In the meantime, the mage may be squishy, at least before 60, if not even before 80, but he's a lot more fun to play and he's actually playable in PvE. That means PvP-ing with him will at least be possible.

    Of course, you might as well discard all I just said. I'm kinda biased because I like magic-type heroes (Harry Potter, Gandalf, etc.) and I just have a hell of a lot more fun playing one of these. b:laugh

    Learn2play, nub. I tick charm of 69+ archer with just one skill and almost killed him - and i didn't had charm, and my eq suck. In mid-6X, played with 7X deep-red barb from RQ. Did not killed him but his hp was low enough for him to holy-path from me to recover. Pve-wise, hourlies are done in 30-40mins depending on my laziness (this is with meditating, i'm so lazy now that i dont gather any apoth), fbs are a breeze; in one fb39 when our main tank (7X bm) fell asleep, i completed all past 1st boss without any extra-heroic efforts of our cleric, just like... lol, just like another tank.
    So, how exactly wiz is gimped?

    It requires You to Learn2play. Other classes apparently don't.

    And Learn2play in this case is not just how to fight with it. It'a also how to do bussiness, make friends, play politics and all other stuff.

    what type of failed archer...
    I don't care how old or young you are, how small your **** is, how much of a nerd irl you are or how depressed you are that you never will get laid. There is no reason to act like an A-hole to everyone on an mmorpg. Its a shame that I have to take time out of my day to tell people "stop being an A-hole". So I end with this, if your acting like an A-hole, and some one tells you your being an A-hole chances are your being an A-hole.

    Amen to that. Besides playing the character itself you need to know how to make friends and get along with other people playing other classes. The other class buffs play a very important role in what makes any Wizard shine. Only the Cleric can improve your M.attack, for example. Ironically, it is you on the other hand who gets to have the buff meant for raising P.attack.
    Apparently the PWI developers had a sense of humor.

    Lolno. Cleric must learn to heal or eventually he pulls agro, dies and ruins all. Barb must learn to keep agro and stay alive. Veno that can't pull is useless, same goes for bm that can't stun properly. Every class must learn to play.

    Same for other classes except maybe veno.
