I'm a 75 Pure Dex Archer. Is it me or do BM's seem hard to kill. I get owned all the time. Is their a certain strategy to taking them out?

    Remember you have metal attacks. BMs are icky because they can change around they're defensive stats with marrow skills, so keep an eye on what marrow they have active. Basically:

    No marrow :Metal Attacks
    Magic marrow: Phys attacks
    Phys marrow: Metal attacks (hurt them pretty bad in this case, cause they're HA with weakened magic defense).

    If a BM stuns you, you're in bad shape, as they can tear through you in only a few solid hits. If you PvP a lot, I'd suggest getting the skill on your genie (which I can't remember right now) that cure you of stuns.

    BM does seem to be the one class archers have trouble with due to their marrows and stunning capabilities

    Stun+Kite, just keep your distance and anti-stun. Archers definitely don't have an easy time with BMs unless you seriously outgear them

    I disagree, I use metal attacks no matter what. Because our physical attacks are still weak even with their magical marrow on. I know that the average of level 80 blademasters have physical defense of 4k with magical marrow. And our physical attacks are effected by range, since they are melee, the physical attacks are bad.

    I'm poor as heck.

    If you use them as a complete moron then yes. The thing is that it's never a good ideea to use physical marrow because the archer usually attacks heavy armors with metal shots. So yea thats a bad marrow. But lvl 3 magic marrow is good because it evens the physical and magic resistence. To the OP is like the people above me said, use your stun/slow skills to put distance between you and the BM. Then use your metal skills. Don't let him get close and try to use pots that prevent you from being stunned (if you're not in a duel that is). Also try not to fight him in the air (True Emptiness=b:shocked). If you want to get it Thunderstorm is a nice metal genie skill. It does good damage against heavy armor.
