From a Fatality guy:
All archer classes gear the same for PvE and PvP unless you REALLY don't want toughness, resilience, or focus.
In each gear slot, you have a few options and you choose based on whether you want defense or more damage.
Head: Obsidian T4+, Tempest Seastorm Tricorne (Dahuta dungeon)
Chest: Gale, Obsidian T4+
Wrist: Auroria Wildborn, Hardy Warrior's
Waist: Reckless Glory
Fists: Auroria Promise, Obsidian T4+
Cape: Windsong, Twintail (NOT Flaming)
Legs: Gale, Obsidian T4+
Feet: Auroria Wildborn
Neck: Lightning, Proven Warrior
Earrings: Assassins, Lightning, Wave, Flame, Great Ayanad (Library)
Rings: Flawless Dream Ring, Gale, Lightning
Main-hand: Obsidian T4+ Shortspear (v2 right?)
Off-hand: Obsidian dagger, Mistsong dagger
Shield: Obsidian, Crafted epherium+
Instrument: Aria of Archery, Obsidian lute/flute
Bastion is an OK PvE tank if there is magic damage involved (like final serp boss, Red Dragon, or Vyrava I guess?), but Stone Arrow is the best dodging class in the game. Archers are generally not good tanks because of the 8m damage reduction and lack of gap closing skills (tiger strike, charge) if a boss pushes (like Glenn, Meina, Hanure).
For solo PvE against mobs, trickster (Archery, Shadowplay, Witchcraft) has the best damage and mana regen with the 8th witchcraft passive. Defense is a waste of damage. As soulbow (Archery, Vitalism, Witchcraft), I kill library floor bosses, Wynn, library hidden bosses, and random dungeons by myself. Primeval is the best PvE and PvP DPS archer class.
