    Depends on what you're asking
    Are you asking which is cheaper to fund?

    The one downside to Wind Archers is that you can't move while using Song of Heaven, which is their main single-target skill come 4th job.

    Wind Archers are a fairly easy class to get into due to great movement speed, and they are a lot more durable, also as a bonus you get a good passive trait that benefits other characters and no need for skill books which is a plus.

    Wild hunter is a lot more clunky in key setup and it jaguar on off modes takes a while to get used to, but once you get them down you can rip through most anything that stands in your way.

    I would say try both for a few days then you can build your own opinion on which style you like more.

    Wind archer is a great first-choice archer for several reasons:
    1) It's skills are simple to use and require practically no micromanagement
    2) They hit hard compared to other archers of the same range
    3) multi-target hurricance (give this to mercedes please c':)

    If you're going to fund an archer however, wind archers have lower DPS compared to some other archer classes

    I have to say this the fact that Wind Archer doesn't have a movable hurricane is why i don't use it and it's got terrible dps endgame(Bowmaster has higher dps then you)also Wind Archer doesn't have a bind. TOO me Wild Hunter is almost perfect(Absurd dps 3 line hurricane should i say more, a Bind and the fact that you will make short work of bosses of any kind endgame)

    if your looking for specifically damage then wildhunter is the way to go, if your more of a fan of aesthetics then definitely pick up wind archer.

    Wild Hunter has one trait that all other classes with mobile-allowed keydown skills don't have: they can move back and forth while using their keydown skill without changing the direction they are attacking in.
    Other classes who need to retreat need to stop the skill, cutting their DPS down, while Wild Hunter can make their retreat while still firing away.

    I don't care how great you are for new players.

    Nothing beats a Jaguar with machine guns.
