Which is hardest ?

TECHNIQUE VS. INTUITION

INTUITION TRIUMPHS OVER ALL[/b]

Wow, one of the most profound things I've seen on this forum.

Last few posts were spot on, however most archers use 4-5 skill bars not 2, obviously if u use 2 ur playing poorly and don't know shit about archer.

Short Answer:
This question is completely subjective. Whichever specialty you have the most experience with is going to be the easiest for you and thus the one you have most skill in. Just choose one that is fun.

Less Short Answer:
As has been made fairly clear by this topic, Archers overall were made much weaker than other classes. Similar to sin, they have low hp and ac... but here are a few other things to think about:

Pros for Archer:
Ranged Attack
Styx
Ice/light arrows

Cons for Archer:
Can't attack while moving (If someone slides you, there is no way to use Arrow shower consistently)
Can't Minor heal while attacking (1 soul gives roughly 1.2k hp while hp pot gives 720hp in the same period of time)
Does a lot less damage with comparative gear (no good archers get tanked without s combo so very hard to use Arrow Shower)
Attack animation can't be canceled giving them less hits in the same period of time
Can't use weapon enchant unless its a crossbow.

I tried to only point out the things that archers and sins have that are different... so don't reply by saying that things like blinding arrows or canceling priests and mages attack are pros for archers. Sins can do the same.
This said, I think Archer is more difficult to play because they have to work much harder and be much better at their class to have an equal impact on pk.[/b]

Well said :P

An ordinary sin beat all archers on same lvl and stuff in duels. So it is harder to play archer on empty colony and still have some nps

[Unf0rgettabl3]

mhhh what about vladotheeletrick? he got gold chick on ares :|

Archers have an advantage that no other class has, arrow def never has and never will work, so all this bollocks bout how shit an archers dmg is is pretty much bollocks also. If they could spam 500-700 dmg on ppl in cz like some other classes then no1 would be able to touch em coz they're like miles away and by the time you reach em you could be dead.
Also hardest to play depends on each person and how you play. In pk if ur a suicidal bastard then maybe you will find it hard to play, doesnt really matter what you play, with enough practice, everything becomes easy.

Still though, if you're starting from scratch and never played archer or sin, then sin is by far the hardest to learn.

Your wrong there, some of the old arrow defense parts works, fx FP pads+5+20 arrow def or something, they work :P or atleast did when i played on ares =) but im pretty sure they still work

[agendas]

i like archers better..... cuz not only can u run fast but u dont have to vs someone close up u have that advantage of far away attack. if u are 62+ (with ice shot) u have the advantage of slowing someone down so u can continue shooting. when warriros use legcut they can still be attacked back, but when rogues use ice shot they are far enough away to keep shooting while unharmed and when someone gets closer, run!!! only bad things are mages and duffs, but that can happen to anyone.

Arrow shield still works...I was using it during dark lunar war last sunday, and it did work. Don't know about pads/pauldron or talias though.
