L2e in a nutshell - kamael archer

99,9999999999999999999 % of the ru players do exatcly as described
They aren't evil for this but nonetheless they are very aggressive in protecting their assets
aka if someones comes in my spot i move on and if he comes in my new spot i begin to think to pk him
the ru don't think they instantly pk you

 

That's pretty much why i PK on sight all the RU named players. RU just need to die and get eradicated, like the cancer they are. None of them is worth a ****, they are just a group of unskilled players that think they can do what they want. Sadly, they don't.
We got RU clan in Blue, named Pride. They are a clan of 15, like, players, all 76+. They even have the #1 in server lv 80....all they do is going around to kill the clans they have in war or just PK them.
And they need to do that cause they stand no chance otherwise. Their levels 77-78 are getting bullied by a BD 75, imagine being on same lv w/o penalty on dmg and debuffs.

As for archers : they are pve machines, but later on, they wont be as good as you think. Kamael archers are the best to PVE for their skill, and yeah, they can farm top spots with NG bow, but you can even get better if you invest a bit on them, eventually.

In late game, both archers and mages are not as effective as you think. From what i saw so far, archers after 76 will start losing a lot of fights, 'cause on the same level, BD/SWS/Tanks are gonna be unkillable due to their high p.def, hps and resist to arrows. Archer lv 78 was hitting me for 500 dmg while i was giving back 700-800 per skill...and again : 75 vs 78. Same goes for mages, a summoner lv 76 was hitting me for 700-800 dmg back when i was 71.

BD, SWS and tanks are probably gonna be the server nemesi after some point 'cause they have nice defs/HPs while still able to land enough dps to win the fight.

But yeah, if you want a farm machine, you can go for Kamael archer. Also, you don't need to join the mass or anything...you can just farm a lot of lanterns and trade them. You're gonna need quite some adenas tho, but after 70+ adenas wont be a problem.
