The class just doesn't roll with me.

If you haven't played above level 22, you haven't experience a BM.

No class will seem appealing pre-59, except for maybe an archer since all they do is pewpew things anyways. If you really are having that hard of a time choosing, do what I did:

Take a dice, assign a class to each side, and roll. Take whatever class rolls, and get to work.

Also, any class can be good at PvP.

For end game armor, just go to evatomb website to check out which one looks good. There is only 3 type of armor arcane, heavy and light anyway, though by end game you have some other choice of armor beside the NPC one. But you can use fashion to change your look so you might not need good looking gear. Veno and barb are out because of gender fixing. Archer are out, though I think there metal skill and buff are flashy. Sin is currently unknown at the moment, as not all their skill are out yet, so they might turn out to be good for PvE after all. Blademaster have a lot of different skill and weapon path to take at the end, so it might seems boring at first but things change after level 29. BM is also decent at PvP and good at PvE. Cleric isn't the best damage dealer but they can still deal some serious damage, though best for cleric to level is in party. As for wizard, the male looks ugly so essentially no gender choice.
EDIT: um, BM die from 1 mobs? is the mobs orange? did you put your point into MAG? did you use wrong alter marrow? did you broke your gear? I'm confused!!!

You can check out look of the weapon at ecatomb too, and I honestly cannot decide for you what looks best. Archer is quite good in PvE, although in mid level you can have problem leveling with against range mobs. They can't solo a lot of things like veno does, but they kill fast. And archer also have a barrage skill which is very useful in leveling party late game.
Not sure about sins at the moment as more skill is not out yet. But currently, they are not exactly bad in PvE but they have nothing to offer the party that other damage class can't (maybe the buff bloodpaint, and that's it), and they get hit more so they cost more money on pot and repair.
If you kill magic mobs then you can seriously get hurt. Better team up with a wizard for these mobs. Later you get skill which can deal with these mobs better.

If you want flashy skills, both Archer and Blademaster get them later on in their careers. Blademasters get a powerful fire-dragon attack as one of their spark abilities and archers get to rain a neverending hail of arrows onto enemies.

Earlier levels you'll be rather restricted and the only classes which really get much in the way of show at lower levels are mages like clerics or wizards who shoot fireballs or conjure lightning bolts. However, they're both typically far more brittle than Blademasters.

I'd recommend sticking with your class. There are plenty of great guides in the blademaster and archer forums to help you with choosing your stats and even if you seem brittle at the moment, it could just be because you lack certain skills which you'll obtain in due course. Good luck.

Archers are a good class. Early on you may want to put some points into Vit, but you will probably end up re-statting later and putting those points into dex. (At least that's what I did.) Having the extra vit early makes the archer more survivable.

So yes, 4dex 1str is considered a "pure" build. See the archer forum for some advice on which skills to level and which to leave alone.

Ilystah, as Gear i also ment weapons. also, do you know is archer's is good for pve? and sins, if they do get good at pve, will they be needed? EDIT: Idk , they're my lvl, but i always end up with like 200 hp when i kill 1

That doesn't sound right. Are you using heavy armor your level? Weapon your level? Gear kept repaired?

If all the above are true, and you're still having trouble surviving a single mob your level, start farming golden herb and nectar and making life powder.
