1.) Fighters are easier to start with, in the 5x-9x range they're sort of boring/time-consuming. I leveled a Knight to 100 after my archer, the 1v1 kills and low exp/hour was so frustrating

2.) Fighters are definitely better than archers in pvp, but only if you're able to catch your opponent. An archer's low dots are hardly a threat even to a squishy mage ;c And for bosses, fighters specialize in massive 1v1 damage, so obviously they're better for bosses

when u get the 3 aoe dots, u will pity the fighters chasing after ur kite lool... rofl is the new lol

Ya know. fighters mostly kill the archer when they get the stun. I think i'll buy a bunch of SC pots that way I can survive longer than them, and only waste it when caught.

I love fighters :laugh: they are good if you are a lone wolf. very class good to help others. Fighters have better attack and defence so natrual intance fighting machine they have lot of hp than sp. you dont have to have party if you are in kq (only to higher lvls)

Now archers are good they arent very good at lone wolf they have to fight monsters their lvl or lower. The one of the best perks you get being a archer is the insane area attack. i was with a lvl 48 archer and she was taking on like 15 enemies w/o my help:sad:. i have noticed that archers gets partied faster than fighters. The main reason is because the can pull an moster out of a group of mosters. the are good with parties but not a lone wolf. the other good thing about them is they dont have to fight up close. good if fighting monsters that puts curse on you in short range. they dont have much skills to learn eather

So lets say your party falls apart in kq or something most fighters dont go and get a party they just lone wolf. But archers they need a party and its easy for archers to get a party

So if i were you i would chose fighters for short
and archers for long range

It's not true that archers get partied faster/more often that fighters. Archers are built to solo and can pull monsters out so they can poison it or get most of the damage they need to in before they reach you. Fighters are too basic to me. My friend decided to join after I told him that the ar archers can kite and have poison skils...but then he chose trickster >.<
Although archers may be squishy and have less skills (according to your statement), they have very effective and useful skills like nature's mist. Archers>fighters imo.
