True, you cant.

Secondly, Archery is pure lawlage in pvp. As globey said Assault rifle could work for a sniper build, based on defiance playing. Fire > all in zonal pvp and ice > all in arena pvp, blaster wise. My opinion.

That's because in, for example, WoW, pretty much everyone has the same kind of build. But in CoH, where there's lots of different powers you could have, it's pretty much impossible to balance it without making them almost identical.

Never seems to do any good. I think I've seen none pvp'ers get more kills by accident.

This. AR is good for a pure sniper build, archery is laughable in PvP tbh.

once more its the usual crowd that turns it in personal attacks etc etc then complain there arent enough people in PvP, go figure.

Yes, AR or arch IS sub-par in PvP, especially arena. However there is no need to go all personal bout it, it was a normal question and therefore should be answered normally imo. I have to disagree with most Donna said, however the flaws have already been pointed out by others. Dont forget that iirc AR also gets said acc boost, the other advantages listed come mainly from /dev rather than arch.

AR can indeed work as a pure sniper build in zonal PvP, if you go defiancewhoring (not sure how it works out with defiance 2.0 tbh), use fly + SS as travel (as said you wont be able to chase someone with just fly) and play at max range and try not to get detected. Hence /dev being a nice choice for an allsniper build.

It can still work to an extent, and will get you a few kills. However it still alas is subpar to for instance fire or ice, and you most of the times wont have too much of a chance vs dedicated PvP builds. Still if you want to play either in PvP I'd go for AR over archery.

I found AR fine for PvP, then again I had NRG as a secondary. I just find AR a lot of fun whatever I'm doing really, great set. Nothing like a villain attack on the Siren's hero base and standing on the roof sniping them while other hero's fight below..after eating an orange

aye /nrg offers some nice goodies for AR, like boost range and buildup. If you want to try AR for pvp i'd really suggest /dev or /nrg to go along with it.

I have a lot of fun with my Archery/Energy in _Zone_ PvP. note: that's a long way from saying it's uber

I generally have the most success in Sirens or RV. Warburg just doesn't seem to work out for some reason (not a problem for me, i dislike the 'l33t' atmosphere and all v all nature of WB anyway).

Archery works best in a team - let the others bog down the enemy in melee and just sit back (waaaay back in my case since i have 3xDam/Range HO in most attacks and boost range) and plink away, half the time they don't even realise you're there till it's too late It's also fun to drop your AoEs on MMs who aren't paying attention and follow up with a blazing arrow to the face.

Archery also excels at taking down Stalkers as they try to escape - and the bug/feature that causes the damage on archery attacks to be delays means their often halfway across the zone before the snipe or blazing arrow catches up to em, always good for a laugh

Archery in Zone PvP - it's fun and different, you'll never pwn, but it's no way as bad as you think. Don't try it in a serious arena fight though...

True dis. If I've any skill in PvP it'll be mostly my perception to the surroundings (even if I chose to ignore them for max damage ) I got hit by (I think) a Build Up + Aim + Archery Snipe recently....fookin' ouch! No need for Epic Critials from Stalkers when that firing in left and right.
