    More DEX is the main answer. For PvE, you should not normally need much MP or HP. Your best defense is a strong offense and your best offense is one with minimal skills (and mostly normal attacks). The strength of your attacks is driven entirely by DEX. By 20s you should have enough range, firepower, and the few key helping skills (knockback and frost arrow) to kill mobs without taking any serious damage. If you correct DEX and still have a problem, look at whether your strategy is doing enough to keep mobs at range where you can hit them but they cannot return the favor.

    All that being said, a better weapon is always a help.

    low lvls, archers are the worst to play due to low crit rate = low damage and we depend on crits for our damage. get him to about lvl 70 and it will all change around and your be pwning them mobs as if there nothing.

    all i can say is keep doing them quest lvl him up and it will start to get easier

    Archers are not the class that shows its strength in hp/mp, partly because we put so much of our attribute points into dexterity. However, with the proper skills maxed (e.g. bow mastery, blazing arrow, winged blessing) you should not have too much trouble killing monsters around your level. Also make sure you learn frost arrow and knockback arrow, pretty much mandatory skills to keep those pesky mobs away :p

    Do you have your Supply Stash weapon? It's a level 20 weapon, so you could use that for the time being.

    Keep Knockback at 1, so you consume less mana. Increasing its level increases its mana usage in an inefficient manner.

    I agree, from the start archers are tough. It starts to get better at 50+ for me. I saved up for a decent weapon (Sinister Shooter ftw) and I dont have much trouble at all. If you want to be an archer, stick to it. It'll really pay off later in the levels.

    ugh from the very beginning archers sucked. made me want to reroll cleric. it's not that their damage were terrible, as you'd notice when you party up, it's precisely that when archers solo, mobs got close then they hit slow and hit low. this was before knockback btw x.x

    so yeah party up with other ranged classes so you can enjoy your damage output and worry less about melee penalties and taking hits

    Buy a fist weapon for the lowlevels, then hotkey it so you can switch to it ONLY when the mob reaches you. It's better than kiting forever. :P

    Also, your lightning skill does not get halved at close range, so use that first.
