Fighter or Archer?

play4fun · 08-11-2010, 03:30 AM

So I've narrowed my choices down to these 2 classes and I'm having trouble picking one >.< to help me decide could some please answer some questions for me?

1.) Which one is better off in the beggining and which is better in the long run? Stating the levels if you could would be great too, but it's ok if you dont.

2.) Which is better in the following scenarios? 1.) PvP (2.) Training (3.) Bossing

Ty in advanced for any helpful info.

P.S. If I pick a fighter I'd be a Damage Dealer build and if I pick an Archer I'm not sure. Reccomend one please?

1) Fighters are easier to start off with good dmg, defense, and HP. While Archers are late game classes with their AoE poison and such.

2) PvP: Axe fighters have great damage. PvE: Archers have upper hand with AoE kiting capabilities. Boss: Both are good. Archers, in my experience takes aggro due to their DoT skills but if you have a good tank and time your skills you'll be okay.

Of course, this is from an older player so things may have changed since I quit a year ago. :P IMO, if you are patient Archers are more fun being quite flexible in their roles with the right gears.

fighters are best if your a "lone wolf" because of high END but if your a party kinda person archers are sweet i really like the DPS skills of archers $$

Fighters are great for pretty much all three depending on your build. They can tank bosses, mob when grinding and are excellent pvpers. They're also incredibly helpful in the beginning because things go by quickly.

Archers, however, are amazing down the line. Kiting makes leveling not only fast but SO easy since you can kite things that are pretty out of your level in GIANT mobs.

I'm a fighter and god I wish I were an archer right now >< haha.

If you like pvp, go fighter, but'll need to pay for cash shop items to be a top pvp player.

If u like pvp but dont want to spend much money on cash shop items, both are okay, but without an hp/sp extender cash shop item, winning battles are very slim, and archers with lots of dex in their build can be annoying to land a hit on. Not many cash items are in the store that increases a players aim.

For pve, both classes are good for solo, but archers can kill more monsters at a time compared to a fighter, but a fighter can killer higher lvl monsters for earlier than an archer becuase of they have more defence than an arhcer.

Fighters are probably better at PvP...as for grinding, archers can kite, so I would imagine they would be better (at a higher level, not in beginning). Fighters are probably better in the beginning as well, but not sure about in the long run. And..If you needed money, I think an archer would be better for that, as people will pay you to plvl them at higher levels. If youd be willing to.

Fighters are definitely easier in the beginning. Archers take kind of a long time to really hit their stride, since you don't get the good dot/aoe skills until later on. But after they get their kitable aoe, archers are great at solo grinding.

Fighters who can tank will do well with boss farming (either solo if they're really good tanks or duoing with a cleric) and will also be in demand for parties. So if you decide to make a DD fighter, it's a good idea to have the capability to tank as well. Keep a shield and 1-hand sword handy along with scrolls and potions. Squishy fighters aren't quite as welcome in parties who need a fighter to tank.

In my opinion I like archer; they're far ranged, PvP, No idea. >_O
Training, archers get beat up easily if you get attacked, but you
can kite and run for your life, and try to beat it up. Or a fighter,
like many before me, you take less damage, can tank, and nice Health. But, i'd suggest trying both classes, and seeing which you
may like better. They're both good in my opinion.
