	*Archers are one of the main damage dealing (or DD) classes in Perfect World International. However, since their main stat (Dex) is ~~truely~~ only good for light armors, they are limited in builds. However by changing build at ~~certian~~ levels, ~~survivabilty~~ and high damaging dealing can be achieved. Though the damage will not be the same as a pure (all ~~dex~~) archer, it will still be high and you won't be made of "the squishy stuff," (no physical or magical defense).		*Archers are one of the main damage dealing (or DD) classes in Perfect World International.

	*The standard issue build most archers brand consists of 4 ~~dex~~ and 1 ~~str~~ every level, granting optimal damage, and the ability to wear the next bow/armor when ~~avaliable~~.

	*At level 49 archers learn 2 important skills, called Deadly Shot and Sharpened Tooth Arrow. Both of these are very important DD skills, however Sharpened Tooth Arrow is another skill that should be ~~maxxed~~ ASAP due to its ability to shorten boss fights, where as Deadly Shot is much more so for soloing, and should be combined with Aim Low when possible.		*At level 49 archers learn 2 important skills, called Deadly Shot and Sharpened Tooth Arrow.

	*Level 59 is when archers learn their best ~~AOE~~ and DD skill, Barrage of Arrows (also called BoA or barrage). This skill is very important for Territory Wars (TW), Zhenning (~~AOE~~ grinding), Rebirth Orders (RBs), etc. However it puts a massive strain on one's mana, and is ~~reccommended~~ that you keep it at level 1 if you intend to only Zhen with it.
