Here is the 4Story guide for Titans' archer , if you also want to do this build you can read the following information as a reference .
EQUIPMENT
Bow vs. Crosbow
this is quite a simple argument, if skills were used less often and various attack speed enhancements etc. weren't so easy to get and more skills needed cast times then bows would have more use with their quick attack and cast speed in 4 Story.
However this is not the case and skills like rain of arrows and sharp & continuous arrow and snipe (with its % dmg) take over 4 Story Gold both pvp and pve. this means the more dmg u can do with each individual hit more important (and can become the difference between a 2 or 3 hit kill and a 3 or 4 hit kill). so basically use a crossbow especially once u get all your skills.
Sword and Dagger vs. Two Handed Sword
another equally simple argument. since you rarely use physical attacks then it is sword and dagger all the way for maximum option potential.
heavy leather armor vs. lightweight armor
another fairly simple comparison though without a definate answer. use heavy leather for more magic defense and lghtweight armor for more physical defence (the difference is really negligable since it really depends on the +upgrade of your armor.
SKILLS
ok only slight differencces with other builds you might have seen. one being in the battle tree, shout of air. i like it. mainly so i can declutter the area around me, slow mobs whilst waiting for cooldowns and for funnies. I have increased all my buffs except the critical buff because with added options you can pretty much get all the extra crit chance you need 4Story Gold.
