THEY are so wrong.
Fixed.

Btw.
Archers ARE melee classes..
We are ranged melee classes.
Usually if we use Nature swiftness in conjunction with Nature speed.
It would be more profitable, if your using a bow, to melee the monster/ opponent while waiting for the Power and Aim shot skills to cooldown

I've proven it to win in PVP

Melee classes are usually the classes with the Higher HP and Def. The OP would be disappointed in choosing an archer. Perhaps the OP wanted to be the tanking class too.

Fighters are far more efficient soloers than Archers if the fighter is a pure STR Build. An Archers main purpose is ranged attacks otherwise Archers would have higher HP and Def than fighters and that would be wrong.

But in a nutshell Fighter is the best Melee class for sure you get the most enjoyment if you are a Melee person and you pick fighter.

How could soloing be fun >_<
If you want to ENJOY the game and chat with people.. be with people..
Overall, if your a people person be an archer

But if you just want to solo and I guess be by yourself whacking mobs.. than be my guest.. be a fighter

Btw

Archers are quite capable soloers.
We are, in my opinion, the most balanced class.
We can kite. Therefore we don't even get hit

Plus we can deal with mobs easily with running aoe aka Kiting

So, Archers can actually be better soloers, as of the patch that allowed running cast

Some people prefer to solo than party. But when Archers are mobbed that is where things will get dangerous for them when a fighter can handle it.

For example say you are kiting you arent paying attention to your surroundings and their is a mob or more than 1 hidden in a bush. Not only will you have to deal with the enemy you are kiting now the enemies you have aggroed in the bush too. Archers are the 2nd most squishy class in the game. Keep in mind also these are just different opinions but if you were to make a poll saying which class is the better soloer you can be sure Fighter would beat Archer quite easily.

If we were to make a poll. I'm sure most people that vote for Fighters don't really understand the full extent of an archer.
Firstly, archers can take a beating quite well if we have good gears.
If there happened to be a mob hidden in the bushes I'm sure we can still kite.
Secondly, kiters have the most knowledge of their surroundings than any other class.
Thirdly, when archers happen to get mobs running towards them. If the archer is a good one they will decide to poison mist the mob than slap on a speed scroll, and use Piercing shot in conjunction with poison mist.
I'm not really saying Archer prevail over every single class. I'm saying that every class has their good points.
Its just that Archers can be the most balanced class if played right.

**Hessah** · 07-15-2008, 12:23 AM

Not cleric and not mage is wat I suggest...

a Melee cleric is bad in party... so you'll be forced to support..

Mage.... squishy.. probably not the melee type of class you're after...

Fighters might be a easier class to start, you dont die as easily... but in parties you're the front-liner...

OP wanted a Melee class. You cant really say Archer is a Melee class if you spend most of the time Kiting and running from the mobs while you wait for the Illness and Poison skills to do the work that is not a Melee class then since you are relying on ranged attacks to do the work for you the running so you dont get injured.

**Maki** · 07-15-2008, 12:32 AM

That wasn't what I was trying to inform.
I'm just saying that if it comes down to it Archers can solo.
Most of the time I'd prefer archers in parties. Its fun that way.
Archers are melee classes depending on the weapon type.
If your a bow archer your mainly melee with the help of Nature Swiftness and Nature speed.
If your xbow user than mainly using skills as it is more beneficial to do so.
Anyways there are different kinds of Melee.
There is Close-hand combat melee and there is Ranged melee.

Lets just leave it up to Miko to decide
