When I subclass, i'm gonna go archer.
I don't know what class to take though...
SR, HE or PR?
People have told me not to take PR, the rest has been mixed answers.
So what class is best?
All depends on your buffer set-up. If you have at least a Prophet, Id say Hawkeye. If you lack buffers, go SR. If you want a bit more of a challenge, go a PR.
There isn't much a difference between them all skill wise, Hawkeye with Buffs is by far the fastest leveling of the three, and best overall DPS on the way to 75, with support classes.
PR or HE.. I lean towards the PR. Many write them off because they lack HP and don't have Focus Chance, but that doesn't matter when you get Draconic Bow.. or even Shyid Bow in Interlude. PR hits the hardest shot for shot.
SR's are fast runners with fast attack speed, but low patk compared to the other archers, can be fixed with some tatoos..
Go with the one you think you'll like..
Oh, one more thing. SR don't get Pain of Sagittarius, that is body to mind for archers, so SR's are dependant on CS bow for leveling.
i agree with Mulch. my main is a bd and i subed pr just because i know what they r capable of. pr's r the hardest hitting/critting archer of them all. In interlude you will see the true power of a pr. as of now pr's r the underplayed archer due to low crit chance and low hp.
it all comes down to how u wanna play your character and what you wanna do with it. u also have to think about how dw and dof changes in interlude will affect crits for archers. yes they will still be fairly high damage but will it be a radical change? if so sr's will be in trouble.

these are all points.
Very good points looking to the future.
Right now HE is the most subed of the 3.
SR is nice, fast atk speed, fastest run speed. but low dmg, they relay on crts for their dmg. but lack MP management.
PR has mp management, but far lower HP, and stun resist. then that of the HE.
HE has the highest HP of the 3 and best passives. the highest base CON makes them better at resisting things like bleed, stun. HE has pain so you can use a PP and stay up for a long time.
If your going to play a SR you're going to need a PP, and a SE/EE for recharge; which case I'd lean towards EE because they are stronger for defensive buffs for a Archer (agility, resist stun).
Or a SE if you know you will sub to Nuker/close combat meely.
Many things will change in Interlude, so I'd think about those changes before you make your choose.
