Going to make a +7 (at least +10 weap) full r9 char. Decent shards, not JoSD... Which class should I go with, and if you are feeling wordy... WHY should I go with it?! I already have an r9 Psy, so don't say psy, no write ins :-)

I love TW. I love NW. Killing is good stuff! I don't mind getting up close and personal, but obviously with my psy I love pew pewing too.

Well, with only +7 armor, and no josd as shards, i say go with archer, seeker, or barb if you want to kill. Archer for obvious reasons, seeker will be hard to kill at +7, and will do alot of damage with weapon, especially crit zerks. r9 barbs, even without huge refines, can be hard to kill, and if you last long enough, youll get that crit zerk for the kill. Bms sadly dont kill very easily without great armor, along with clerics

Archer/Seeker/Barb

BM r9 3rd cast, or even r9 high refine is one of the most OP characters around. Blade tornado, blade hurl, hf, stun lock, constant hard hitting aoe, self heal that gives crit, a skill that creates a nearly 50%+ crit rate, buddha guard, running skills that are longest lasting out of any class i believe, 30 seconds+2leaps+holy path+apoc items.

At the end of the day, my advice is, don't go r9 on a class, you will most likely play horribly at it. Before you throw away the r9, play the class, pk on it, pve on it. Learn it, after you feel comfortable with it after 2~6 months of play time, get r9. I see people in r9~r9 3rd cast, they still die to fists, axe skills, i am not r9, i use aps set in nw/tw. When you reach endgame, other people with equal gear will kill you easily, at the end skill > gear, people with lower gear will have a harder time. This leads the path of r9 3rd cast, simply because r9 3rd cast gear is far greater than r9. Even skilled people in r9 will have some trouble taking you down. But skilled r9 3rd cast will not see the issue. If you can spend money to stay ahead of the curve sure, go for it. Otherwise best to learn the classes before spending money on them.

lmao- no do not go sin- they are the worst class for the main pvp of the game--as in Nation wars and tw.

The answer is archer as they are the most op of them all. Obviously they need some sort of nerf.

An archer's bow purges more often an a purify weapon purifies. In my many months of experience with my cleric, archers rarely tick the purify buff. Dps sins and bms I can reliably get it to tick when i want it to, but with archers, its mostly a battle to kill them before they purge, or survive if they do purge. That is why archers are and always will be the toughest class for clerics to deal with, imo.

I should point out that while archers are tough for my *cleric* to deal with, I still make mincemeat of them in 1vs1 situations. I haven't found an archer who can beat me reliably yet on Dreamweaver, and we have some of the best geared archers to be found on any server period.

Mind you, there's aren't many ppl that I can't win against 1vs1 period, so this might not be a reflection on archers. Nonetheless, I haven't found an archer who can really make me work for the win yet.
