Well, with a priest you can learn a lot of things. And a priest will ALWAYS get exp. Archers don't really get first pick for parties. I would rather you be a priest but if you wanna go archer start off as a sin first til you get to 60, then you can switch if you like. BUT! I've always been a priest, they are so self-sufficient and fun. + I GOT LOTS OF GREAT INFO FOR PREISTS FOR YA!
