Ok i want to make a archer and i have some questions for experienced archers + players
1. Which archer is best for 1-1 pvp out of HE and SR
2. which archer is best for mass pvp HE or SR
3. i want to make a fast lvling archer and cannot choose between SR and HE and everyone says HE is best because they have high str and con but SR has best evasion, acuracy and moving speed which one do i choose?
I have never played an archer so this answer is not coming from personal experience with them. All the archers in my clan are almost exclusively Sagittarius (3rd class change for HEs). We have a few Moonlight sentinels and I think one Ghost sentinel. They seem to have a better survivability.
1) HE. They can carry more in a 1 vs 1 battle and thus survive longer. (CP pot spam ftw)
2) HE. They have the HP/CP survivability that the SR lacks.
3) HE. B2M > SR's natural regen even if it is faster then a HE. HE's Quiver of Holding means the HE can stay out twice/three times as long as the SR.
.......
HE beats the SR in every single thing you'd hope to do. PR & HE is a better alternative, since the PR has several advantages over the HE and vice versa.
I personally wouldn't play a light elf ranged attacker (SpS or SR) without a recharger to buff & duo. SR are nasty fast, though.
Everyone and their mama has a HE/Saggitarius or subclasses it. That should tell you somethin.
Well, not everyone. But if I were to make a toon for PvP, my first choice would be HE, and my 2nd choice, way behind the HE, would be a Necro.
why?
you do know that NEITHER toon owns face until after Transfer Pain 5, or Epic Jewellery Crit damage boosts.
NEITHER toon does well without full buffs, full dance/song.
let alone NEITHER will significantly outmatch an opponent unless you know the weaknesses of your opponent - like putting a HE vs say a tank. well, the tank that knows what he is doing will know when to root, when todrain, when to stun, etc. the archer and necro (in all their over-glorified gimpness) simply point-click-watch. hopefully Magic doest get resisted, hopefully you stun target. hopefully they didnt come prepared.

Archers and Necros need buffs. But they evidently manage to get those buffs, and they rule anyway.
I'm an SR who wished I was HE. Until they fix how much crap hawk eyes can carry HE's will always own the battlefield and for fast leveling because they can simply hold more. Or they could just fix pot spamming but I don't think that'll ever happen lol.
If it wasn't for CP/GHP/QHP I would say SR are amazing. But we can't hold enough crap to hunt for more than 2 hours by ourselves so forget outpotting other classes..
1v1 and group/siege SR are a good hit and run class. They're goal is to smack the opponent as hard and fast as possible and dash off before death. HE are more of a tank archer who stand and rip things up.
PR's would be a cool class if dark elves didn't look so stupid.
