The archer seems to be pointless.

I think I'm the only one that stills rolls dagger .

You probably ARE the only one who still rolls dagger ... And I've got to ask... why still use dagger when you could be using a faster crossbow thats damage is twice as big?

i used a dagger for like a minute, and then realized that i don't have enough HP to be fighting that close to sparky... lawlz

Now banned has a kena setup! (Played with him earlier, and apparently, we got almost the same build!) =p

lolz, this post is a lil outdated (started back in April)

But I do think the archer class has lost some of it's luster since the release of Ancient Swamps and updates/patches.

i havent played the ancient swamp yet so my info is probably outdated, been busy, but why is archer useless?

isnt archer the best single damage class? great roots knockback? break armour will be useful in pvp?

you could say enchantress can snare and root, but in pvp they should be healing..pure and simple, well unless theres like to many healers and theres overhealing going on, but all classes have a role

but my info could be outdated, havent played this game in a while

I would never say archers are useless. I was mainly commenting on Goaty's "timely" response to this thread. The last post was 4/25 until Goaty's most recent post here.

Archer's has probably been the most played class in Pocket Legends. I have no numbers to back up that statement though, but from experience and playing, I noticed alot of birds early on. Probably because of the solo'ing strengths and high dps relative to the mobs hp pre-swamp. The release of swamps and balancing done by the PL dev team, has mitigated those strengths. In that, Swamps is not soloable (at least not in a timely fashion), mainly because the mobs hit harder and have alot more hp/armor.

Archer single-target DPS is still the best, but their contributions to a group doesn't have the same impact as a warrior or enchantress in Ancient Swamps, imho. I have no idea how PVP will impact any of the classes though. Should be fun and exciting.

Archers armor break ability if a great debuff which I think all archers should have, I mean with it I can take down the thoughest mob pretty quickly without getting hurt much, so archer isn't weak or pointless you just have to play it right, 3 archers 2 mages the quickest and easiest kills

[MYBOWJERKS]

archers are the best class by far, youll see, root them, break their armor and watch the archers sexy dps do the talking.
warriors wont touch us and mages just suck

Break Armor makes boss fights a lot shorter. And it's only going to get used more in PvP. Plus it's easier to get through the swamps with good cooperation with all three classes. 2 Archers 2 Mages and a Bear rolls like a freight train!

I Defeated the king of pain without getting hurt and im just a level 27 archer!!!!!

[Evante]

nice work = ) keep on lvling b4 the PVP

[Sayishere]

if your talking about 1 on 1 then i would say archer may have the upper hand, the pvp will focus on group tactics thou i reckon, the right combination of classes will beat the other, if one side has a healer who doesnt heal, or a tank who dies like in 2 seconds its going to be alot harder

but i would say a full group of archers, now thats going to be funny

You should be able to go pvp: 1v1 with password protected, I think... that should settle the score!

Actually, the Archer/Eagle is good value: "All" the usual tricks of rdps: Kiting, rooting and of course running away!
