whats the difference between the two builds

i think crossbow rogues are more of a kill-or-die type with crossbow extreme on and pacheon archers can tank and kill

plz name all main difference like preo and cons of each build

my friends keeps telling they are very similar

ty for commenting

Xbow
Pros:
KD
KB
Highest Range
High Dmg
Cons:
Dies fast because of CE and Pot delay

Chinese Archer:
Pros:
Can tank
No pot delay
KB
Cons:
idk none xD

Remember archers also have Stun

Xbow can also use stealth, another pro

your con is bad :S it isnt like you have to use CE to kill things... it just takes longer to kill

Xbow got higher chance of crit, and it can knock down
and also it can have higher dmg cuz of xtreme, u just gotta know when to use xtreme

Also XBow can have a subclass

Bows look better than Crossbows.

+1

bad thing about bows is that they dont get the stun and knock back skills till 70+(I think its 74 and 76?) crossbow can kd you at early level.

Not anymore at cap 90

well crossbow is basically a weak defence high dmg character kill or get killed

but a archer i would have to say would be the allrounder class. They can tank but not as good as a blader or warrior. THey have ranged attacks but not as far as xbows, they have high damage but not as high as mages (although i do think they have bout same as glaviers cos of crits).

Hope that helps:)

damage is same as galvie if you only look at one hit...

galvies can hit more than onces in time it takes for bow to shoot once...

+1 !!!
this is the main diffrence
with cler --> invincible for 45 sec, no pot delay
with warlock --> 1v1 killing machine

crossbow is higher damage but lower def. bow is lower damage but higher def. id say go bow because bad damage can be fixed with soh or sosun or sos or som or just a fancy +7 or +9 will do

no offense really, but that's sort of a flat opinion..
1-Xbow is highter damage and lower def ONLY if u choose to turn XE on.
2-an Xbow/Cleric actually tanks even better than a bower, especially in those 45 srcs of bless.
3-low def (if it existed for a Xbow user) could also be fixed by +7 light armor
4-if u get a sun bow for a bower, u'll do gr8 dmg.. but if u get a sun Xbow for a rogue, u'll 1hit anybody!
5-Xbow actaully has a farther range than bows
6-Xbow can also farm dagger from the same tree, and use both for absolute perfection.. which is unavailable for a bower ofcourse
7- STEALTH !
