Hi guys! I have on greece a lvl 58 full str archer...I want a good pvp build and to make fast lvl too...with my lvl 58 archer, I did a lot of pvp whit lvl 56-60 chars and I lost almost all of them(and I don`t have so bad equip...I have armors +3+4+5 all whit str and int, and my bow is lvl 52 sos+4 full blue)...I saw that players whit sword and shield are VERY STRONG in pvp(whit snow shield activated, I could`t beat them, all s/s players around my lvl beated me at pvp)...So I decided to make another char, a full int s/s char...Now, I saw a lot of full int s/s guides, but I want to know if this build is strong at pvp...I want to know if it is stronger than full str archer(because I don`t know what to do: to make full int s/s or to keep my full str archer)...Please, realy need to know which is better in pvp: archer str or int s/s...

P.S: don`t give me answers like "choose what you want, all are good" or "it depends of the equip" etc...because I want to know which is better, and suposing that they are both same lvl and have same powerfull equip...so please say your opinion, it is realy important to me

s/s will often win at your lvl since alot of your stronger attacks can be blocked, and you dont have the kb of the arrow combo yet. so you dont have too much to stop them with. while s/s will have kd/stab and their quick chains, snow shield, castle shield, and of course nukes with shoouts. but id recommend you keep bow till higher lvl since you took it this far already

go Hybrid Int S/S

Still give tons of damage but with bonus defense. You also do more damage with KD and stabs. You will be a tanking machine. If you can find a good sword with high crit, you will rape with chains and KD + Stabs. Because you are hybrid, you do more damage with Sword skills, yet deal tons of magical damage. Also, the hybrid can tank like hell.

Pure str + armor against an int mean dead pure str..

Get some protector or garment and try it again =] You will be able to take a bit more dmg...maybe enough to kill him Anyway...bowers wont really shine untill they get their knockback arrow combo and stun strong bow (which starts a 73..I think)..So you will rise and shine eventually =]

Bro, I didn`t sad I use armor....in fact, I use garments:)....I sad "I have armors +3+4+5, because I call armors to all the equipments...but I`m using garments...

P.S: Still waiting for more sugestion, whit better and clear explanation why that is better and that no:)

I think u should wait till u hav cap'd pvp experience first, cause bowers are very good at the 80 cap and will get even better at 90 cap.

But not everyone (read: no one except a few) uses armors for all 3 of the equipments...So sorry for interpreting it wrong.

Still, as I said earlier...Just keep going, wait untill you get your kb arrow combo

Ok guys, thanks for sugestion(you can still add something if you want:D).....I will think about it and maybe I will keap my archer...In fact, to be onest, I realy like archer(I like those high crits and the fact that you have range, and mobs almost don`t touch you), and if you guys say that at lvl 72+ archers are good at pvp, maybe I will continue whit this char....Thanks again for answering me, have a good play and a lot of sosun`s:P

Making a pure str bow character is a waste of time.

They're weak.

I don`t agree with you....archers are very good characters, but at my level they often get killed by nukers(too bad )....You don`t know what you are talking about...as I see from your signature, you have a lvl 2X nuker...I don`t think that you have enough silkroad experience to say that archesr are not good...When you have 2 or more chars of high lvl(maybe 50+), then you will have some silkroad exp and talk about characters...until then, try focusing on learning more about the game .....Sorry if I was too bad whit you but it is the truth

if u wanna lvl acher is good lvling cuz it attacks long range and u can just click a monster far away from u and it just attacks

Stay with your archer, its a nice strong build and will be stronger at higher lvl's.

Yeah that or switch to glaive because glaive can easily own at those levels, thats if you dont want to wait for stun and KB bow has at lvl 76 or w/e lvls they are.

stick with the bow , youll own at higher lvls just need good crit bow.

...said Mr. Level 2x Nuker.
BTW, what nukes do you have at level 2x?

Explosion arrow will get stronger, strong bow will get crit increase and stun, arrow combo will knockback. Not bad at all.

OK Guys thx for your answers...I talked whit a lot of my in game friends, and many of them told me exactly what you told me: to stay whit my archer, and at high lvl I will be strong...I decided then to stick whit my archer, and lvl it till 80

tbh, bow needs sun to kill... I had a lvl 80 int nuker in garments +5 full blue and a lvl 80 full farmed bow with +5 bow and crit12 couldnt kill me and i wasn't using snowshield...

I think bowers are the most overrated characters tbh but hey thats just my opinion

Pure Str Bow Man with good equip and a +3 or +4 or +5 weapon can own
i am lvl 62 pure str glaiver and I have lvl 60 +5 glaive a lvl 59 owned me he has sos +7 bow
But if u want a good pvp one choose Pure str blader i think u can't lose except if ur opponet is so strong
