Also, HE has the most stats to play with. YOu can get +5dex and have a same dex as LE but stil 2 more con. On top of that you can get +4str and have 3 more str then DE, but still have 2 more con then DE. Shure DE and LE can also do the +5dex and +4str, but then they will have much less HP and CP then you.
On the negative side of HE: they have much less skills, no drains/heals, no slow, no debuffs and no self buffs. But as archers tend to use alot of MP on just regular shots they dont use as much of those skills anyways. Skills that HE does have are quet good. they also have more pasives (hp regeneration, crit chance and crit power, atack speed boost).
some good points, but I know more then you do about it. since I played one for a mouth at lvl 77.
For starters, HE does get a slow skill but you have to wait till you hit 77, quit a long time to get it. Very long in fact.
Let me start by my set up, for my HE, and this is at 76+..
I did this, +6 mejestic leather; +5 gloves; +5 helmet; +6 boots. +5 dex, +3 str (which I removed when I started to do olympiad)...now I know my set up is a bit hard to get now, since every thing came easy on PTS.
for Weapon, my first was a +12 carnage with crt bleed.
This is one (

now as for skills, the best skill a HE has is stun shot, then double shot. till your a sagittious, then you get hemstring shot (your new slow shot skill,@ lvl 77), also at 76 you get leathal shot. (a shot that lets you one shot someone, low chance to land)
HE has more passives then the other 2 archers.(don't ask about the orcher, IDK)
The base con of HE is 45, str 40, dex 30.
PR is con 32, str 41, dex 34.
SR is con 36,str 36, dex 35.
As HE I won every time vs. a PR, why cause they lowered there con so far that they had no HP left. yeah they hit hard, but once stuned, when takes 1 time to win vs. them.
on a SR, I can beat them about 60/40. it would depend on if you land stun, if they entangle. if they crt like a [censored] on you.
SR can easily win, but when it comes to stun, HE can win, will win.
The HE's has two buffs, rapid shot and hawkeye. I sure hope they add a new buff or something to oggment the differences between HE>SR>PR.
As for MP tho PR and SR has 1 more then HE. which is @ 25 for stat for HE.
Hope I've been some help.
