PR is worist: con too low so they get stuned very easily.
I partied alot with one on PTS, high P atk..fair crts. but atk speed is slowest of the 3, new skill lowers their atk speed to.
SR is preatty good: there dmg lies with their crts..thier P atk is the lowest of the 3 archers. atk speed is the highest.
HE is the best (aregueably): highest con = less chance to get stuned, most fexiblity with tattoos. good atk speed, fair crt rate, very good P atk.. has most of the best of bouth side of the archers.
HE gains, (from C5) 1 buffs from the SR, 1 from the PR, BtM (PR to) and can hold alot more items.(quiver of holding)
while HE gets more acc then PR..possibly SR to..IDK.
I see mroe people subing to HE then the other 2 archers.
SR's crit damage sucks though and majestic really helps with stun eventhough im a PR i still stun Light Elves in Majestic and as far as the whole atk speed thing goes i see no deference when standing next to both other archer classes. yes i may have no CON but at the same time when fully buffed not using stun against a fully buffed SR i would say i win 9/10 times not bragging by far because i have been known to also get owned when using stun and when not using it. Stating that its all up to how you play the character and a little bit of luck they can all kill one another and can now easily kill mages (nerfed sleep) just have to watch out for the dagger users (aka Dagger Chronicle C5) :)
dont forget the mighty snipe on HE. he may gets immobilised, but he makes lots of dmg and crits. especially when he has to face many enemies. and with the proper buffs from PP or WC, QQ enemies :)
ok so yes u can dash and maybe ur close to a safe zone. ya maybe u can UE and HOPE that they will miss a crit. but HE is dead if ur being chased unless u can pr, log, bsoe, or u have people waiting to help u.
I'm a 55 PR. These are my self buffed with an alacrit pot and haste pot stats:
P atk: 1437
P Def: 630
Accuracy: 92
Critical: 145
Atk. Speed: 456
M atk: 173
M Def: 471
Evasion: 105
Speed 178
Cast speed: 226
CP: 767
HP: 1534
MP: 954
I have a +3 BOP/CS, +0 Doom LA, +0 BO, and Raccoon ears (Booya!). I also have +4-5 (I'm cheap, okay?) STR and DEX tats. I'll probably get +4-4 tats soon. If you ask me, I don't see that being all that bad. If I can I'll grab some buffers and see what I'm like topped off.
All 3 archers are really good. Hawkeyes are known to be the best while fully buffed in endgame content.
If you like certain skills of another archer don't be afraid to go for it, they each have their advantages and disadvantages.
With the right tats, the PR is better at all around game play. The speed of the HE is not good for you in the PVE area, more mobs are faster than the past chrons. The PR is a great class for pvp and pve, even better at pve with added dex. They are all close enough that it really comes down to who plays their char better.
