Starting as an archer

Hello!
I'm going to start a new character with a
bow, but which would be better:
Garment or
protector?
And also which force skill (fire, Cold, Lightning or Force)? And should I concentrate more on
phy.dmg than
mag.dmg? What do you think

You can make either a Pure str bow or a hybrid bow char. I'd recommend Pure str cause it's an easier build to make. Go with garment for the 20% mp reduce and the 20% speed buff.

Ok but if I'm wearing garment then my phy.def.pwr is much weaker than mag.def.pwr so I'm going to die easier. Am I right?

No its not.
See it as a way of "hybriding" yourself, when you are pure str, your phy defence is already pretty high, and your mag defence is almost 0 (Not really, just for example

) , so when you wear garment, you have decent phy defence + decent mag defence.

I have an archer, lvl 72 atm, and I know much about archers...The best way is to get full str archer 90pacheon/90light/90fire...It is the best archer build for pvp in my opinion, and you grow fast at mobs too for a str based char...As for what to wear, you have 2 options: garment(for lvling) or protector(for pvp/jobbing)...I have chosen garment because I`m only lvl 72 and I`m still leveling, but at lvl 90, the last 9D set for me I think it will be protector, because at 90 I want to concentrate a lot on jobing and pvp`ing. Hope I helped you a little...Good luck, and if you have any problems, post and I will answer you
