Thiefs` weapon is real hard to make but Archers` arrow is easy to gain the "101level arrow"
Archer can dress hat,shose,cloth, and bow (classed weapon G1-G5) thief can not use classed weapon, it will be exdreamly high cost, G5 knife have numbers,
to fight bear thief can hit 3-4 at most,out of 5, archer can hit all 5
Who uses G5 bow? Everyone uses the laser bow +15 attack power or the D3 legend bow. Thief can use the D1 knife or D3 legend knife too. For pvp after level 100, archer and thief weapons are the same. They use xfire and thief use xice. same thing but thief can use ice shield + xice. archer can't.
Thieves are used more often for hunting wings, VD, and their easier to hunt at cyc. Bows break too fast, I don't think anyone will make a G5 bow. D3 legend bow is much better. At DBs, thieves survive a lot more than archers, much easier leveling, less pots used.
I don't have a lot of experience with archer/thief but from what I hear, thief only needs 40CHA for a good leveling build. Archers need at least 90CHA. Which means that thief can use those 50 points from CHA and add it into CON which means they get even more survivability.
Archers are all offense, kill or be killed. If they fix the damage on Archer so it's higher then thief. then it would be balanced. Because then thief would actually have lot lower damage but have some defense like it's supposed to be.

Official opening should be very soon and we still haven't come up with a way to have a balanced trade-off with thief's AC and archer's damage. Should it be increasing archer's base damage? Reducing thief's base damage? Giving archer's stronger skills?
I think there was a topic with a poll about this somewhere...
I haven't tried this server but, you need to take in consideration that: everyone level in vd, and thief level alot quicker there then archer. So in the end, theif have more tt then archer, so they make more dammage, with alot more ac. I would suggest to fix the leveling way of archer, cause they total suck at leveling.
