I already joined a clan on Lionna and they have been pretty generous.. I couldn't betray them by switching servers =(
I'll probably just stick with HE. It seems you think HE and PR are pretty much equals.
If you do choose to re-roll to PR, i would suggest chooseing a different server as then you can recive the newbie stuff.
the only proplem with what she said doesn't apply to after the new patch hits live in about a week maybe 2. (all charaters on a acc can receive the newbie buffs up till they are 25)
A DE fighter lvl 1-20 will lvl faster then a human lvl 1-20 cause of the difference in P atk the DE will kill faster ten the human in this asspect.
When you start to progress into higher lvls you will get alot stronger specailly after second class when you can apply +4/5 str to your HE. and get and use PL set.
Since you have a clan your clan should hopefully have a acadamy, join it and get the clan oath armor...you can't beat +3 evation for D grade. and you can also help out your clan by giveing them rep points!
what really makes HE shine as the top archer, is 2 very powerful things.... humans base stats, and their passives for crt chance and crt power. humans have a higher con then bouth PR and SR, while their dex isn't as high, their Power is much higher then LE's and a lil lower then DE's. but as a HE you'd have less of a chance to get stuned vs's if your a PR or SR.
I didnt ever read about them setting an exact date about the patch coming here, just that they wanted to see it on the pts for "longer then normal" Maybe they did i dont read everything.
I am on Lionna too; you can always PM me your character info. I'll be working on my second academy character pretty soon, right now it's level 15, you should be there before I get my first academy character graduated. Between myself and my friend we can keep you well buffed if you're hunting near us.
I also can go and just bring a buffer like my Warcryer and do that every 20 min, if I'm bored and just watching TV I often just bring the buffer and don't pay attention except at buff time. I do that usually just for clan/alliance characters but if you're nice I don't mind ;)
