Hi all, i'm pretty new to this game. Started playing it yesterday
I kinda know that i want to play as an archer in this game i hear allot of good things about them, and I'm also quite sure that its either gonna be the human version or the Dark elf version. However, do to my limited experience i don't know which one to choose
I'm not going to ask which one is the best. Just the pros and cons of both classes as I'm pretty sure it will help me allot choosing the right class
HE:
Pros: STR, HP, Hawkeye +10 accuracy, slightly more critical rate, good stun resist because of high CON, body 2 mind, very high carrying capacity
Cons: Slow runner, mediocre evasion, no slow before level 77, no self buffs
So basically the HE is a fat [Censored] that hits hard but doesn't have any magic and can't run away which means he's bad at hit and run. But he's fat and can take a bit of punishment.
The PR is faster with a bunch of magic tricks to aid him, offers more variety than HE.. IF you choose to use those skills. Essentially all archers are the same at end game, shoot shoot shoot (more fun than it sounds).
I am new to this game as well only 5 months old and i have an HE. what Mulch said is completely accurate HE is the tank of archers most HP. PR is in my eyes is the glass cannon + his atck speed is slower.
IMO go with the human you will be able to take some dmg before you start shooting.
I had a HE first (lvl 76) but then rerolled to another server and made a PR, found it more challeging to play it cause PR's have less HP then a HE. Didn't regretted it, love to be a glasscannon.
