i'd go bow because

1.the only build you will be having problems with arrows will be full str because of the low base damage.
2.You grind faster because you don't have to run to mobs to kill them
3.and like a thread some time stated:
there will be a full second page in the inventory

I say go bow. Not only are the effective at grinding, but when you get to a higher lvl they are a hell of a fighter against other people. With stun and knockback, I think they are the most effective and annoying build to fight. Also just look at them, they are just to awesome haha. Glavie to me is a fun build, but it looks boring for grinding. But they have a lot of other perks to them, so I wont say they are bad.

I play sro for 4 years now. ANd ive been all the str chinese builds, so i can tell ya: bow is the most fun. glavier is the strongest cookie cutter ever, and blader demands patience.

That glavier on video sux, a glavier can kill a mob with 1-2 hits, not using 7 hits and still attacking another mob and takin dmg. The bower kinda know whats hes doin, but that style of grindin is for pot burners of ppl with sun bow or awesome gear. the same number of mobs can be killed usin half arrows and 1/3 the pots. The blader is grindin correctly, using demon sword to lure and take dmg, than just finish with a kd or so.

also, bow becomes fun after lvl 73~76.

id first go blader (if you're patient); then glavier or bow, dependin on ur style. glavier for brute force, and bow for skillz.
Looking for the perfect MMORPG.

Yep, that glavier video. caption: Grinding - Yer doing it wrong...

Bow does sound like a fun build, but I'm not a fan of carrying arrows either, lol. Would go pure str for sure! Crits crits crits crits crits, lol

Shouldnt be to hard to think of a better way to grind as a glavier I think. But well heres a video which I think shows the best way to grind with a glavie:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UhBuoOCKLo

Just get a npc bow to lure btw :D or nukes/shouts. Then use all the splash skills u have to finish the whole group off.

Another option is to grind mob by mob like this:

is that 2nd one a bot?
i like it how its going with out any delay to the next mob even if its off screen.

edit: typical for a bot to be too lazy to even get a video done right

edit more:

found this video of oddly enough one using force
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq4vldJRkD8

but only 30 ice and they are tanking quite fine, kinda find their like of lightning a bad choice to replace with force, but shows the build in pvp a bit, idk , i guess technically the debuffs might out do the dmg done by the lightning magic dmg increase

there is a video i saw a long time ago of a 70 70 grinding in caves i wish i could find it again, i'm trying too atm

edit more so

ya i think the video is gone, and i can't seam to find any 70 70 or 80 80 grinding videos

A hybrid like u point out needs alot of skill/gear/silk good thinking about the trees and in the end can be really dissapointing. When u want a hybrid I would take an int heavy spear hybrid, cant go really wrong with that one.

To be honest i'd go 70:70 spear. For me, bow is really boring. And even tho im a blader myself, it can be very annoying. Grinding is sort of fun, but the ammount of time it takes....ain't quite as fun
Wish the best for raphaell666
