I chose H5 hunter. he just looks so nice. I llike his design: long blond elvish hair, the sharp face, pale skin- like I think elves should look.

You must really love Orlando Bloom, then. H5's elf looks identical to Legolas from the LOTR movies.

this might be news for you, but Legolas is played by Orlando Bloom, so it's not strange at all that they look identical ;)

sarcasm detector beeping...



Anyhow i went with the H2 Grand one, the H3 one's plate is a bit too much for an Archer and H4's is a bit too plain.

actually I pretty much hate this actor. I knew I would get the "this is LOTR elf, tolkin ripoff", which it is. However my idea of an elf came way before I heard about LOTR when I was a little geek playing DnD with my friends as a kid. naturally I was an elf as they rule that game-nice magic and also some might. I'm talking the very basic DnD, no aDnD or something fancy as I don't know those..

:lolu: so basically your idea of an elf came from Tolkien anyway.

elves start to pale as DnD characters about level10+ anyway, the ranks aren't enough to offset the disadvantages of the level limit

I really like the H2 elf, especially his hat and outfit. So it gets my vote.

I voted for the H5 Hunter. He looks relaxed, simple and natural. Long ears, someone complains about...well theres gotta be some distinction from other elves, like Legolas. Try to compare them...they dont look IDENTICAL They just have some similar traits.

The Hunter DOES have an uncanny resemblance to Legol... Orlando Bloom

Voted H5 Master Hunter.
He's quite the hottie :D

I also really like the animation when he shoots. That shooting then picking out a new arrow swiftly move is just great!

He looks purely Professional...

He looks better than the Arcane Archers too, which are too slow to shoot twice, Forget the damage, HE CAN'T SHOOT TWICE!

HAHA! HAHAHA!

Elf in IV was quite the Threat, or how in the original 1, he used a teeny-weeny-microscopic knife to do melee...

Ahh, the old times were just great...
