The problem with dex is that it doesn't make a huge difference and the effects can easily be done with scrolls. I can confirm that at least in another version the dex stat does make a difference when added... a full dex archer would be able to avoid 9/10 of the attacks from a mob their own level.

So unless our version of Fiesta 'fixes' that stat up there is little to no point in adding into dex. Though if you'd like to be a unique build, go for it. I have done it in the past. I had gone 25 spr and full dex with (gasp) npc gear... was able to tank fairly well in MD, etc.

That build will be utter fail in pvp, go pure str if you even wanna attempt pvp...

When I only had a cleric and a fighter, I did not get why people had archers. But once you start training archers, you will fall in love with them :D they're just awesome as they are! Lovely evasion and damage if you're going for a str build.

if you want a damage dealer, you should go 25spr, the rest str. or pure str, or, a build im thinking about using, pure spirit.

Archers can talk while lvling.
on females they have the best armors, and personally i love shorter women...but for men, i have no clue, but i'm playing 1 now :D

Beast if you're still reviewing this thread... there is one thing that breakt hese two classes apart that proves A > M any day:

Mage dont do physical dmg.. archers have great skills options and can just sit back and hammer the opponent without using skills..

mages basically are limited to punching slimes. enjoy that.

go archers. XP

Sorry to break it to you, but any practical mage wouldn't even be attempting to whack mobs to death with their wands/staves anyway.

Eh, don't get me wrong, I like playing all classes equally. (Maybe with the exception of clerics; I'd pick doing damage over running around healing anyday.)

Archers r cool :3 I just don't play them because I like having a million skills and I'm alrdy playing on my fighter XD but theyre smexy, do alot dmg, if you do things right then u could easily have alot of hp/def, they have a fair amount of stones, they can solo mobs at 51+, and as for pvp... it rlly depends on the situation >.>

My level 41 archer can already carry quite a few more HP stones than my level 66 mage. >____>;

my fighter is 32 and has a little bit more than double my 67 mage's hp stones XD mage stones ftl
