Anyone got any experience on both and would like to shed some information?

It is hard to tell without deeply analyzing one's own personality's patterns first.

Fortunately Freud before his death has conceived a specific test for exactly this question:
- Which one do you like more, Cake or Pie?

Pie, definitely, Pie.

DW dishes out the highest damage build with Assassinate, using a one-shot combo to obliterate enemies, but archery has one of the strongest DPS weapons in the game with the same fantastic criticals. The archery talent tree has that Arrow Lance thing, which is a close second to Assassinate in the right hands.

Personally, I am playing a custom-made arcane archer class. I used the console to remove and replace certain talent trees to allow myself to cast basic magic. Also, I removed Duelist, added Swashbuckler (Isabela talent tree), pulled out the shadow and subterfuge trees, and threw in Royal Archer (Gabriel talent tree), and Marksman (Verric talent tree) to make what I thought was more appropriate for my archer.

For those who haven't played a custom class, I highly suggest it. Be careful with item requirements as they can glitch your game without the "no restrictions" mod. With that mod, you would have to pretend the restrictions are there yourself.

Well, Freud suggested that there is an innate connection in the brain’s neural paths between enjoyment from Pie and Archery play style.
While this was held to be true most of the time since Freud’s publication of the subject, there has been certain controversy in the recent years.

It has not yet been proven that there is in fact any connection between preferring Pie and choosing to play as an Archer.
However, a new ground breaking study which was led by Prof. “Cook” E.M. Ónstёr from the University of Sesamstraße, Germany concludes that people have a higher tendency to eat Pie while playing as an Archer than to eat Cake.

This means that if you prefer cake you better play as a dual wielder or you'd end up eating more pie which is unfortunate.

I wish this had a vote up system

Both are great at single target elimination, I find myself switching back and forth on my rogue. I seem to enjoy the sniper like feel of the archer more though.

I guess my vote goes to archer for the ability to deal death from anywhere on the battlefield.

Archery can use assassinate as well. Iorvincent. Your post seems to suggest it cannot.

DW is "flashier". The archery talents are kinda meh, in my opinion. I don't have a lot of experience with either (both my rogues are about lv 9). The thing I have always liked about archers is that you can kill a few mobs before the melee can get in close enough to do anything.

It's really simple: DA2 archers are like mages were in Origins...
Meaning: YOU WILL KILL EVERYTHING ON THE MAP... Really, they have the best AoE talents between the classes.

I agree.  My archer has been  unstoppable.  My only com[;aint is there is too much I want to take in my talent trees.

Archers have a great toolset. Archer's Lance + upgraded Petrify = win, Pinning Shot is bugged to not snare people often but it still does loads of damage with a short cooldown, and the Exploding Arrow is good for creating an on-demand obscure effect (once upgraded). Wasn't a huge fan of Rain of Arrows though. Friendly Fire on Nightmare ftl there.
