I'm sure you are, but think a little about all this:

Throughout the forums there are complaints how:
  • mages get the short end because {blah blah blah}
  • knights get the short end because {blah blah blah}
  • ogres get the short end because {blah blah blah}
  • orcs get the short end because {blah blah blah}
  • archers get the short end because {blah blah blah}
All characters have their strengths and weaknesses. You picked an archer, that can kill my knight through walls!
Is that "fair" - for me and many others NO!

It was suggested they were low walls (mummies) really so what about castle doors! And if the walls are so low why can't a knight with range 2 swords attack something on the other side of the wall?

But it is one of your strengths and one that is likely not going to go away, same with mages.
{boy would there be a lot of crying if that injustice went away}

I have a little archer(81) and I think he's absolutely fine.
I'll fight for what I think is right!

IMO the archer is the easiest class to play.
As said above, every class has strengths and weaknesses.

If you want to have a different sort of play style, try another class.
There are many who have archers and are quite good with them - they love their archers just fine.

At one time, mages and archers were faster than melee - and it was decided that this did give them an unfair advantage.
Now what it comes down to a lot is what types of consumables you carry and how many of each.

So again, either try another class, or ask for tips on how you can improve your skills as an archer - there are some out there that really kick butt with archers.

I believe that every class needs a tweek. Can't see any point in a Knight or Orc. Lol

I'd say you are a swordsman, but "Knight" is right right there in the name, so nevermind! ;) Still, I'm obviously in agreement.

I can't be the only one who finds this hilarious 😁
In PvP, a ranged vs a melee:
Unless the melee is packed full of stuns, that archer is gonna run around, using their range as an advantage.

Am I too fast trying to get away from someone who wants to run rather than man up and PvP in my range?😏😁
I have characters of all classes. I'll always prefer melee over any ranged class😆

Dwarfs are horrible at PvP. Just a heads up ;)
No one is loyal until they with you to the death
Keep the circle small :)
Never have feelings for someone if they don't care about you :lol: ;)

Why are Dwarfs bad for PVP?
