PvM or PvP?

L1 or L220?

PvP melee advies are more about quick kills, but they have lower defenses than ranged.

PvM melee advies will OD ranged advies a fair amount of the time (though a twinked ranged advy will do great until 205+), and will tank better due to more HP from armor, but will get hit more too.

PvM ranged advies can utterly destroy at low levels as well as at the levels where the JEPP is equipable.

Yeh, I had a lvl 140 ranged ADV, he destroyed hecks in ely, but I could see that if I was going to go to lvl 220, melee was the better way to go. Mainly because I wanted to pvp and wanted backstab/sneak attack. You would be happy with either one, but if it helps I have deleted my 140 adv and re rolled him as melee, oh...and go TROX!

melee = higher hp / less evades
ranged = less hp / higher evades (if working with combined sharpshooter)

in PvM: damage-wise not much difference, prolly ranged better here due to more specials useable in combat..BS/Sneack from melee is only useable once (and if u have someone who has aggro)..hardly depends on mob's hp tho. if its a longer fight, melee wil do better i think

PvP: If u wanna sneack behind ppl, hide in shadow and play evil witch, go melee. but on BS its very hard...too many people with high concealment/perception around. If u wanna pwn people from long distance and have more weapon specials, go ranged.

personally, after trying a 220 ranged trox adv with QL280 CSS and a melee solitus adv with ql300 CM from 2 friends, i'd always pick ranged over melee. ranged perks can be simply ignored tho, they suck ^^ so, in the end, it's just a matter of personal likes and dislikes :)
