ok so i beat a barb 2 lvl s higher then me last night and then a bm same lvl

mages are oneshots lol u just gotta hit 'em

but.....archers do the same thing as mages which is leg it as soon as the duel starts but they are in LA the same as me so i have trouble taking them down quickly i just wondered if anyone has any tricks?

i played an archer to 74 so i know how they fight too but i still find it the most annoying class ><

    Wait til you hit 59. You get tele stun and stun attack. Owns em.

    Or use Tackling and Raving Slash then bash em lawl.

    Keep them stunlocked with your multitude of sleep, stuns and seal. I start out with stealth mode then tele stun. Once they're stun locked you can drop them within a matter of seconds.

    since you arent 59 try this (hope your shadow jump is leveled somewhat)

    Shadow jump on top of them > deep sting > throat cut > tackling slash > rib strike > slipstream strike > puncture wound


    they should die in a duel long before that is finished. throat cut alone may finish them.

    yep 59 moves are pretty handy like start with a shadow tele, then sleep and stun lock....do it right ud bring down 3/4th for an archer of your level range...the rest can be filled wid normal hits.
    Archers, Wizzies, Venos, Clerics, Psys = easiest
    Bms = managable
    Barbs = hard

    Always stay in their melee range and keep 'em stunned/silenced, spark as soon as you can and unleash the fury of sharp kitchen utensils on them.

    Trust me, archers are manageable when they are in your level range. I'd know -- I beat one with the blacksmith (lvl 65) daggers.

    I've never had problems beating assassins. I don't know what **** wizards you guys have been facing.

    I've killed some barbs, I don't really have a problem with them TBH. What with genie skills and evasion, I don't get hit too badly.

    Two of them even tried to run away. b:chuckle *tackling slash**spark*

    well i own like a 4 lvl above me when i was like 70, that archer don't even have a chance of att me, my tactic goes by: tele stunt him, ( don't know skill name much ) immobilze him and get 150chi instant and headhunt him, he's down. that is my way so far.....if any1 have better idead. plz points out of my mistake.

    stealth: stun lock, better have acc rings or you'll miss some shots :/

    for QQers who ask you to not stealth: maze steps > throatcut > sleep/freeze/stun once wings of gear wears off.

    Stun wont help when an Archer uses Wings of Grace.
    Going into stealth would be a good option tho, however they will keep kiting till ur MP runs out.

    So how to fix that? :o

    archer somehow knows you're about to hit him...:
    throatcut (optional) > stealth > wait 15 seconds > tackling slash > swing until he's dead

    OR

    stealth > wait 12 seconds > double(triple) spark > inner harmony >shadow tele > tackling > throatcut > RDS > Headhunt > slipstream > rib strike > twin strike > slipstream > occult ice > twin strike > tackling slash > throatcut > rib strike

    he should be dead long before you do all that of course....but you can keep him stun locked that entire time. only way for him to break that is to use absolute domain.

    typically i just double (now triple) spark > tackling slash > swing till dead. even when the archer pops domain, it wont remove paralyze from tackling so he still cant run and all it does is add 4 seconds until he dies to my blades.


    archers are the EASIEST class for us to kill.

    ^ This guys a mage and he got it right, Maze for anti stun + speed increase,tackling to keep the **** still, auto because ur dps is higher than a claw/fist. If a fist bm can do it, so can you.
