Archers are the ranged physical damage dealer class. The primary role of the archer is to stand in the background dealing as much damage, as quick as possible, to the enemy. Not only are Archers able to deal physical damage but also some magic damage (mostly consisting of metal damage). This makes them very flexible damage dealers, as they will always have an answer to the enemies defense, whether it being magical or physical.

Archer Armor
As Archers are a dexterity based class, they can really only use Light Armor. Archers should probably only use HP shards (Citrine Shards) when sharding gear, as they need both magical and physical defense. Extra stats are all dexterity and critical points as this is where the Archers damage comes from.
Archer in PvP
At the low to mid levels, Archers are the best overall damage dealer due to their range, and fast physical/magical damage. At higher levels, when classes become more balanced, Archers work mostly as robe killers. This means they kill Wizards Venomancers and Clerics. However they still work as backup damage to other classes as well. You could say that the Archer is the "sniper" in Perfect World International, as they will sometimes one or two shot a player (due to their high critical percentage) before they are even seen.
Archer in PvE
When it comes to grinding, Archers work almost effortlessly as they have both knockback, stun and slow skills. They also have two shields, Winged Shell and Wings of Grace, but these will really only be used at early levels (later the shields become very useful for PvP though). Besides that, Archers are the best damage dealer to have in a party, as they have their Sharpentooth Arrow. A skill which makes the target lose an amount of their max HP, and makes killing bosses a lot faster.
Archer in Territory War
Archers play a very important role in Territory War as they help to kill the enemies fast and push them back. Like in PvP, Archers are mostly standing at the back making sure that the people that are almost dead, dies. The skills Sharpentooth Arrow and Barrage of Arrows are two of the most important skills here. Sharpentooth Arrow are used mostly on Barbarians to lower their max HP so they are killed faster, but is also very use full on all other classes. Barrage of Arrows is the best AoE skill that Archers have. It can kill a hand full of lower levels or help to kill catapults.
