Which Bow?

[VOwl]

Hey guys i want to know which bow build i should be. I KNOW MOST OF YOU ARE GOING TO SAY PURE STR BOW! GO BE A PURE STR BOW NOOB!
i know that but i dont care, i want a nuker bow and i want it to be a strong one.
should i make a 80% or 85% mag balance bow or 70:70 or pure int?
Please help me out.

[Nader]

besides pure str i think 70:70 is the best its good in dmg in both attack and nukes

[Hitman144]

70:70.

making a pure int will be the most stupidest thing in the world

[Naigasakis_Rebirth]

70/70 is the best out of these evils I'd say. Which mastery sets do you intend to use btw?

[Trice]

70:70. theres some nice bow guides in the guide section =)

btw your sig really annoys me, not sure why xD

[MrFudge]

go pure int but grind with a spear

[VOwl]

i was going to be
90 pacheon
85 light
75 fire
50 ice

or
90 pacheon
85 fire
75 light
50 ice

[Mcclane]

70:70 is 80% in the end

and how would you make a 85%

an 85% magical balance?? keep the magical percent at 85 and you dont care what the physical % is.
thats how.

hey guys should i do
85 fire and 75 light to get fire imbue and the stronger nukes for fire
or
85 light and 75 fire and get the light imbue and stronger nukes for light

and also, how do i maintain a 70:70 balance

If you haven't started a char yet , I would plan for the 90 cap and not do hybrid at all , they're just goin to get weaker from here out.

[fIESTA]

GO A PURE STR BOW NOOB. Just kidding

really?

[H31grind]

i would go pure str bow but if you really dont wanna follow that build go 70:70. Not as good in my opinion but with good gear its a decent build.

Yeah because eventually you will have to choose 2 masterys one for weapon (This does NOT apply for (Pure) INT Nukers) and one for force.

And since Hybrids have low Physical and Magical Defense, since they will only have one defense buff (magical (fire) or physical (ice)), AND since they will have lower hp than an STR build, they will have a hard time standing there ground without getting owned by crits and nukes.

lol yea it annoys me to and i have no idea why >.< I don't think bowers should use nukes?

yeah but you dont get what im saying. i want nukes

[TwIsTeD69]

Then make a spear or a sword char? They wont prob be much good for a bower.

Then you can't go Bow................

Bow IS NOT a nuking weapon. Is it to weak and ZERO defense. A nuker has to be int heavy hybrid (look what I said above about Hybrids >.>) or pure int.

No, not really. Most people seem to just state whatever they please these days without mentioning that what they spew is either their opinion or an assumption based on presumptious "facts."

[MY OPINION BASED ON THE KSRO 100 CAP]
Hybrids have their roles and will do fine as much as people suggest against them. Example: Which would do better? A pure int spear at the 150 cap with 150 light and 150 heuksai, or a hybrid int spear at the 150 cap with 150 light and 150 heuksai? The pure int spear would deck out good damage, but due to lack of defense drop far easier then the hybrid int spear. Once we start sacrificing masteries as we aproach the mastery cap, hybridization will be the answer for most ints...

As for your bow char, I would also say that pure str would probably be the better route to go. If you are going to stick with hybridizing, I'd say go for the 75~80% naked magical balance, or the 70~75% naked physical balance hybrid bow builds. They seem to be doing the best at this cap when it comes to bow hybrids.

EDIT: You want nukes? Don't go bow then. Your nukes would not be on par at all with any of your bow skills[concerning damage]. No matter which route you go, be it hybrid int or pure int bow.

WELL I WANT A BOW. Spear and zero defense too except that fan move but people still choose it.

You don't nuke if you're bow...you use the bow skills.

nukes would do more than the bow skills am i correct?

[Ell]

No they wouldn't since you're really hybrid.

[jabbers]

they depend on more skill trees than a pure build, to have good damage & defense and when the number of skill trees you can get becomes more limited I think alot will make some bad decisions and or be gimped later on. If you already had a lvl 80 farmed of this build than I'd keep playing it , but if your starting a new one go pure. you can always hybrid-ize later on at anytime but you can't take those stat points back once you spend em and cap may go up before you finish the build.

[VOwl]

No they wouldn't since you're really hybrid.

no. she said if i were to go hybrid int or pure int.
but if i was pure int, maybe it would. heavy int, maybe it would.

[Ell]

Why would you want to go pure int bow? Might as well go spear since the magical damage is way higher and you also get the extra hp passive. Or sword shield for damage and more defense. Also since the strong bow cool down is now linked, bows are going to rely more and more on crits so going pure int wouldn't be smart. You can try it if you want.

thats what my intentions were and thanks for your opinion.

btw your sig really annoys me, not sure why xD

Yes, it annoys me too.

If you want to be pure int bow so much, why don't you just take a try and don't ask peoples around? I mean since you don't really want to accept people's suggestions..... Just don't ask, try to make one, and you might be one of them who make the strongest build.

hmm im not considering them because im asking which bow build i should i get. basing it on bow builds. not spear or swords. suggestions these may be but they arent the ones that i am looking for.

[vindicated01]

stop debating this weak build again and again..
