Does anyone think...?

That Blade Dancers and Phantom Rangers are fun to play? Are they any good too?

For BD i would think you should like to party, alot, any party fighters or mages love to have them. Gotta love BDs :p.
As for PR.. just another archer with a little extra to do at times, hex/etc... If you like archers why not..

Actually i can't stand playing the BD most the time. Honestly it was fun till about 60, It only got to SD because my friends would insist on playing it. On the other hand it's hella fun in PVP, not as fun as an archer but cool none the less. As for good, yeah everyone always needs a BD.

I love playing my SD. I found playing an archer to be quite boring. SD is much more of a challenge (for me).

Can both of the classes hold their own pretty well?

Can both of the classes hold their own pretty well?

PvE or PvP?

Well lets just say both and like 1 on 1 in both aspects...

BDs "can" do fairly well in pvp. They wont be the uber pwnage class out on the field, but they can get a few kills. PvE wise, they are pretty good. I can solo areas alright. I am not the fastest killing, but no where near the slowest either.

PRs can do very well in pvp. They are archers after all. They do tend to drop very very fast, but they can drop you just as fast. PvE wise, not sure... I would assume its not much different from a HE, which does quite well.

Good info, thx

Would you agree with me in saying that in most large PvP fights they act like a "mini-archer"?

BD with Drac bow is pretty good

Anything... with a drac bow is good :P

How do you get drac bow?

Going to lvl 76 to be able to wear it then craft it or buy it.
Note that if you buy it you might give a ton of adena for it.
Then again if you craft and fail a few times you're pretty much in the same place.

You do great damage in PVP but you're main job is as a support char. In small scale or 1v1 BD is great because it's a good fighter with very nice offensive self buffs.

If you have the resources, yeah. I'm not lucky enough to have a drac bow, so I stick to duals.

I saw a DA 12 lvls Under a BD beat the crap out of a BD. BD good support class but not the best class for PVP

Well duh... A bd against one of the best pvp tanks? (:

In PvE, they seem to be killing machines, especially with a buffer and healer.
From partying with my friend, I've noticed that we can kill alot faster with him in the party, but in a duel he has trouble with my SK.
Their duels are also major expensive and cost more SS to run.
Love having him around when we're grinding.

bd is very good in pve IMO and good in pvp, not great
