Archer or Assassin???

played both. the archer is more fun imo. but that depends on ur gamestyle.

sin got most likely no challenge in the entire game. maybe from lvl 20-34 sin becomes a little bit hard to play.
sin in pve is most likely dumb playstyle, spark-> hit hit hit use a chi gaining skill -> mob dead. spark -> hit hit hit chi gaining skill mob dead.

in pvp sin takes no skill. its stealth. double spark stun hit hit hit the other 1 is dead.

well archer in pve is like. hit hit hit -> knockback -> hit hit -> stun -> hit hit hit ... dead somewhere in there the mob is dead.
at lvl 100 it is like hit hit mob is dead.
but who cares about pve?

in pvp archer is more exciting and tricky than a sin.


so decide which playstyle suits u

Assassin.

Assassing are for players which love to buzz around like an Tarantula on steroids,
you run around and to your enemy and kill it as fast as possible.

An Archer gets a little more calm on the things, attacking from afar, moving around yes.
But not like an Tarantula on steroids.

Both classes have darn high damage output, the difference is, the Assasin trades it in masses of close hits while the Archer fires slower from afar.

Let's say, you cannot have everything, either have high armour and weak damage output, or have high damage output and be weaker on otehr areas.

Archers are very squshy. I am an Archer and personally would never trade my Archer for
everything else. I am dead in only a few hits. But it's difficult to hit me in the first place without
being killed by me before.

It's all a matter of playing style. Assasins attack way faster and out of stealth.
The only thing you need to be able to do is to click fast. That said Assasins are one
of the easiest cahracters if it comes to overpower.
They basically are for fun simply, not for planners.

Archers are more challanging, you need to plan how to attack and what spell to use on each mob. But if you master it you will be Very Very dangerous.
Archers are unforgiving characters in handling.
If you cannot handle them the class will appear weakly and useless.

But if you can master being an Archer then you are an force noone want to have as enemy.

That said Archer calsses are nothing for powerlvling ppl which want to kill mindlessly around as fast as possible ad much as possible.

PVP win goes to assassin 1vs1 but killing someone in under few seconds gets boooOOOring

If an assassin is killing someone "in a few seconds" I think that that means that that someone does not have absolute domain on their genie, or is not using it.

Which suggests that if people started using absolute domain, and tranquilizing orbs, and leaving when an assassin showed up (instead of just waiting there, to be killed) that assassins would suddenly lose a lot of PvP viability.

(I doubt that this approach would help someone that was outgeared or outplayed -- for that I think you need enough friends to match the gear investment involved and if you are being outplayed you need to try something different.)

Leaving after getting attacked just means no one will be in the pk zones. Like ever. However if no one ever Pvp'd open world that would definitely make sins lose their pvp viability, so the conclusion is correct.

Yes, like... i was not trying to convince anyone that assassins were fun to play with.
