Hello all, I'm new to the game...Chinese Archer vs Eu. Rogue

VictoryAkara · Post by **VictoryAkara** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 1:16 am

Hi, I was wondering which of these are better - I came back from a long break from Silkroad and now they added Euro, And I wasen't good back when I played to be honest

So I'm looking at, Which is cooler for pvp and also how to stat/subskill them right.

If anyone could be able to help, I would appreciate it ^.^.

euro rogue does more damage but can't take as many hits.
they can both kill eachother in 1 crit.
euro xbow has knock down though, its pretty cool.

id still go with the chinese archer [pure str] because it can survive way longer than a euro xbow.

The European Crossbow also sacrifices its own HP to do more damage, if that helps choosing.

Depends a lot on the gear... :roll:

As a rogue most people will hate you in pvp beacauls of the "cowardly" playingstyle, some rogues lurkes around in stealth-mode, to get a distance to the other player and: BAM- starts attacking from 15 miles distance... = Not apriciated by the other players

But it's very fun to play

The chin. archer is better in some ways, they don't seem to depend as much as the rogue to get the first hit in a fight...

I saw a roque level 67 killing a unfarmed level 78 with zerk from his stealth (tho it was with daggers, but you can add them!)

No way a chinese bower will do that

um... rogues can kill without using buff... and without it they hit as much as any normal chinese str...

can tell you the same story but this time its a level 52pure int spear nuker who killed that rogue 67 who just came out of stealth :roll:

i would say if you have the time go for pure str bow
if you don`t have the time go for xbow
time is important because it will take you longer to level that str bow

considering we are getting castle siege soon, i think the bow will perform better than the xbow the strength of the xbow right now is basically stealth remove that (the safezone is way too far for them in castle siege not sure) and you make them weak.

i would say.. go for chinese archer !!!

euro pot delay ish very very irritating though they hit alot harder

anyway.. in a 1-1 pvp against a same lvl rogue.. the guy who hit 1st usually wins the round

well ive played as both xbow and bow and i liked the xbow more and yes when i dueled i was one of the ppl that went into stealth mode but thats because if i didnt all the high lvls would just surround me and just stand there and wait until they could kill me over and over again but also when i do go into stealth mode when i exit and kill someone i dont go running into the safe zone i just run around until i go back into the stealth mode again ^^ but yeah its basically with xbow you would have to get the first hit or you will basically die unless you dont have the dmg buff but i dont know because i always had it on since i got it

thanks ^^

Now question:
Should I put all my points into lightning or cold or fire? I mean LOWER LEVEL I'm not like a lvl 90 or whatever the cap is running around, I'm a lvl 5 atm cause I haven't played much not knowing about what class is any good xD

Fire or Lightning, I think the damage you need isn't what you get from Ice at this time. Maybe when you get more skills, Ice may be more useful, but I suggest Fire.
