Archers have elegant feathers on their heads and stand proud holding a mighty bow while sins stand like drunk emo teenagers with gills on them and tiny weapons which might aswel be a tooth pick.

The archer population isn't as high as other classes, why? Because we are a complicated class to play.
If you are a fail archer, you'll go down quick but if you are Pro Archer you will be tough to take down.
With most other classes if you are fail at it, there is at least some other redeeming value about them. For example a fail barb can still be usefull for tanking.
Us archers have some of the highest Spike damage, and can deal both Physical and Magical attacks from a distance.
When fighting an archer, it isn't a straight forward fight.
- For example when fighting a BM, people blast them with magic, when fighting a Cleric/Wizz, you use Phys attk. But when it comes to archers, they have to mix it up.
Assassins are a strong class, but they are nowhere near invincible.
I'm a strong believer that if you know how to play your class well, you can roll nearly anyone your level.
Use strategy, think of tactics to use against each class.
Hold your bow firmly in your hand, imagine the fear you will inspire when you are a higher leveled archer.
Archers are weak in the early levels, but once you hit 60+ you start to shine brighter than most. You will be part of a sparse population of hunters.
May your arrows always fly true, into the heart of your enemies.0 -

advice to fledgling archers:
Going sage is like drunken sex, at first she may look good, but when you wake up the next morning; you'll look at her and go WHAT HAVE I DONE.0 -
Yep Archers are good. Only thing i dont know is how kill Barb in PvP he has just too many HP for my few mag skills b:cry0

They have qualities that don't really blend well with our role in PWI, but right now I don't think anyone can say we're obsolete when the only bit of the class we've seen so far has been a few loser cashshoppers oracling their way into 6-7x.
and I pretty much agree with DarkHam.
Who's more useful? A fail archer or a fail assassin? At least a sucky archer can kite.. right? Assassins aren't that useful to anyone.. even if they don't suck0 -

Archers have good ranged damage, skills to keep distance and way more HP. Archer Wins.[SIGPIC]http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/image.php?type=sigpic&userid=2508297003&dateline=1263853257[/SIGPIC]

Actually...if it were a choice between 2 fails, I'd go with the Assassin. At least when the boss turns to smush them they're not flinging ranged AoEs at everyone else while they do it. Melee range ftw. b:shutup0 -

OO but wouldnt a fail assassin just hide and run, leaving the rest of you wondering where they disappeared to?
In any case, I dont see how people should have so much pride in their class.
Your character is a means to have fun with people you like having fun with. It does not matter what class you play or who is better. The most important thing is spending your time with friends chatting, squading, boss hunts, instances, fooling around, etc.
If you feel you dont like your archer, make something you do like . I for one love my archer cos I know my friends like me being there (I hope they do :P). I could care less if assassins pwn archers or for that matter endgame archers are not that great. All that matters is that I can help my friends kill faster even if I cant kill alone by myself. This is how archers have always been (unless you think they are all like Legolas from Lord of the Rings).0 -

Its pretty stright forward when fighting archers. Barbs/bm don't have a choice but to use phy atk, the same goes for wiz (mag atk). veno is mag only and the pet is phy only. only the cleric got a choice of mixing attacks, but will be mostly mag anyways. the only difference comes from archer fighting archers... and thats mostly phy... rarely any lighting at all.1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.

eh.. I don't really play mmo's to make online friends. that's facebook. I play this to kill people so i can feel better about myself. the core of all appeal in video games, yes? b:chuckle
if assassin's offer a better means to do that, making all the time i've put into my archer irrelevant, than i think there's some solid discussion to be had.0 -
Much rather be an archer. If you get good at kiting its much easier. Sins have to take damage as they need to be in short range to even do damage. Sins don't have elemental damage to take down heavies like archers do.[EvilMarlon - Sanctuary] It would be nice to be a male veno i tryed a veno and my dad saw me and he thought i was **** it took me a whole month for him to even talk to me again. <-- LMAO b:chuckle0

you archers have sharp tooth arrow.. wat the hell u QQing about lolAs an assassin you learn the true meaning of the letters S.A.S. : SPEED, AGGRESSION, SURPRISE....
those are the three rules that must never be forgotten by an assassin....0 -
We have sharptooth arrow and It's sooo usufull in TT b:cute0

If the only reason you play this MMO is to kill people to feel better about yourself and nothing else do the following:-
1.) Uninstall PWI
2.) Install a FPS multiplayer game u like
3.) Join an internet room
4.) Kill all the players there all day
Thats much better investment of your time than sitting and lvling your archer/assassin and acquiring gears and spending on the cash shop :P. Unless of course you lack the reflexes to make any sort of difference in those fast paced PVP games
Seriously, MMOs are played with a group of friends (new or old) and doing things cooperatively.0 -
Lets just start off with a few questions:
Can Assassins kill a target 30m away and laugh?
Can Assassins take down heavy classes with 1 skill?
Can Assassins aoe the **** out of an area at a distance?
When it gets down to the basics, assassins is still a melee class, up and close, and will get hit a lot more often than archers. Archers is the class that ends up being, the ranged assassin. We kill targets, before they reach us, that is our goal.0
