    no hardy does not give pvp defense. You usually will use relentless for more HP. make sure you abuse your Tenacity skill as it gives you 5 sec stun resistance. use your slows and low cd dodges to kite around and keep distance. camp your stun trap if you need to and slap people with your KD arrow.

    So archer is extremely bugged right now
    1. Focus doesn't build with rapid fire
    2 our charge shots are being replaced by Sequential arrow
    3 slows sometimes apply
    4 stun kick doesn't stun at all


    Other than the bugs. The best tips I can give are

    1. Use tenacity with the 150% glyph which adds an extra 15 seconds of 150% balance +
    (Use this at the right time depending on the class your fighting)
    2 be sure to dodge towards your traps that haven't been triggered
    3 the first shot of your rapid fire staggers... make sure to abuse that often
    4 HUGE TIP I PERSONALLY USE AND DON'T SEE ANY OTHER ARCHERS USING........
    ADD... RECOVERS X HP WHEN SKILLS HIT TARGET
    ( this will apply for every landed shot including every rapid fire shot.. You can stack this year roll twice for a total of .6% hp back per hit... this is devastatingly effective in all duels as it's a consistent heal better than any other gear roll could do you)
    5. Another huge tip some archers don't learn fast is our SELF HEAL... make sure you use FEIGN DEATH with the rate glyph for 3% hp return... You can pop this skill and move your toon to activate the heal but atil l stay fighting...a must must must

    I thought the self heal u had to be still I guess it's just attack cancel heal good tips tho really hate changeing builds tho for pvp and pve wish could just have to builds
  • HvVproHvVpro ✭✭
    Well I love archer and one reason Is how easy solo farming dailies is...
    I.e
    Ghillie is easy and a pro tip for island of dawn bams is....
    The SEQUENTIAL ARROW will stun all bams... so you can basically never get touched if do your rotations right

    But I was trying to make the point I have two archers. One for PvP and one with pve rolls and stats etc

    The stun kick, when working properly, helps get out of those stun locks. Ill also place a stun trap then dodge behind to get a good radiant arrow and slow off.

    CQ is the only active skill that works like a passive and force melee classes to attack archers carfully cause with it you can chain into 100/0 combos if played correctly
    There is no other way for an archer to do this, even the new "invisible" trap versions can't put such a pressure on the enemy cause they are a) easy avoidable if you remember their positions and b) most classes can bypass their mechanics with different skills while c) all classes can exploit their effect and make it useless
    At the moment fighting melees 1v1 is annoying as hell. ~~
