lol. ok so basically it comes down to this.
HE: Pros-high con, hard hitting. Cons-SLOW, no magic (if thats really a con lol)
PR: Pros-semi fast, high crit and highest STR. Cons- like no con, which then makes them fragile, but u can kill awful quick.
SR:Pros-FAST!!! They are made for speed. and "ok" con.Cons-They have the least power. BUT if u have ever watched any of EverRed's videos you know they can be a beast.
So yea they all have there strengths and weaknesses. I personally play an HE and it rocks lol. That might just be the +10 Emi tho. lol. The one thing i wish i had were some more magic spells, but humans aren't gifted in that so u just gotta go with what u like most. :) hope that helped, sorry if my stats were a lil off.
Overall best for just standing there and dooing damage: Hawkeye
Most variation on attacks and strongest archer:
Phantom Ranger
Most fun in kiting that has the highest unbuffed crit rate and the highest speed:
Silver Ranger
However, PR and SR are better when speed is required, HE's can lose fights that the elves win easily because they're alot faster. Doesn't matter when you're properly buffed though, then everything dies in a few shots..
PR seems like the most fun archer, with cool magic for that extra depth. I play HE because I like the looks better :p
In your opinion, who is the better archer...SR, PR, or HE? Please include facts and/or experiences, as I am noob on the subject of bow users.
Why do these posts seem to come up like every week. There is no 'better' archer, they all have their ups and downs. Search older threads if you want more information. I mean, look through their skills, read their descriptions, and choose whats the archer YOU want to play, not what other people think is the best. When are people gonna learn that all archers have their strengths and weaknesses, figure out what you want out of your character, and choose accordingly. All your ever really gonna get on the forums is Biased answers, and the occasional decent breakdown post.
As a SwS, my experience has been that SR are harder to kill in PvP than an HE. I seem to be able to land Entangle on HE more easily, which allows me to get up in their face, and their slower attack speed means I usually take less damage (fewer shots, more likely to get an excellent shield block, etc) and have a better chance of killing them.
Still extremely hard to fight any archer as a melee character though.

I do believe that asked for opinions , so yeah...I expect a biased answer. I also asked for facts and experiences as to why they believe one is better than the other and so on. Thanks to everyone who gave responses.
