Bow is actually really good at this cap. With the knockbacks it'll be really hard for someone to get close enough to kill you.

I hear bow starts getting really good at like level 75ish. Your so close I'd say to stick with bow.

Of course you should always do what YOU want to do. Whatever that may be :)

Go with whichever you'd like more....just note the pros and cons of each before you make the switch.

Of course, archers are going to be annoying as hell to reach in 1vs1 PvP ...but they're not gonna be killing many people with the shitty damage of the knockbacks (high emphasis on the "many people")

Glaive is practically the same as 90 cap, but with about 40k hp with maxed blues....that and flying dragon can be useful in pvp.

Knockbacks are meant to cancel the enemy attacks, and with decent gear they will do some damage; archers get the kill-damage from their other attacks, devil-strongbow etc, archers are really good at group, and solo pvp, cool build brahski

Glaivers have a slightly higher base damage than archers with a faster attack rate (probably a poor choice of words), which builds up in their higher dps (damage per second) over archers.

Archers have range and crit increases with hit ratio increases (so they hit towards their max dmg range more often).


I wouldn't say one's better than the other, overall...they both can do well respectfully in the right hands. (I'm trying not to be bias here, though I've always favored archers more than any other build since I started playing)

I know <.<''

As for the group ...yea, they're support type characters...the best thing about them considering group based pvp is their high rate of "interruption". Which can save other members of the group or cancel the ress / heals from an opposing cleric...or at least draw it out from completion further. (Yea, I already know you can do more than just those 2 things...those are just examples..)
