well people said fire would be better so i can kill ints better with the buff and all.
And i think ill just go str the rest of the way, and keep 10 int points.

Keep going, hybrid str is good. Excellent for pve and does pretty good in pvp. Fire should be your main imbue.

hybrids are highly underrated, IMHO.

if I had the choice to redistribute my STR/INT I'd definitely do a hybrid build.

bow/fire/light is a pretty basic setup for it, too. although ice tends to piss people who aren't immune off, in PVP. always a plus.

That should be naked. You'd be anywhere between 103%-114% as a hybrid. It's like a 7:1 Str Hybrid Bow.

Hybrid str's are actually decent. My blader is hybrid, 102% balance with all gear on, 91% or so with nothing. I hit (with non-crit) as hard as bladers that are farmed with +7. Granted my crits hit slightly lower (and i mean SLIGHTLY) but its still, imo, better than being a blader thats pure str wher you depend on crits.

I thought you had a level 6x glavier?

OT: Hybrid STR: 90% Physical Balance. Good crits and good damage per hit.

No back up and acting childish? Yeah, I don't expect anyone to listen to you.

On Topic: 80:80 bow is strong for 80 cap. 90 cap though will ruin it. As for Hybrid Str, why hit a bit harder and have a bit less HP? Might as well go Pure Str bow. Strong now and even stronger 90 cap.

my bow is pure str, when its farmed its gonna be fire/light/pacheon 80, ice is now at 52 i dno if ill raise to 60... i love it only dmg isnt the best on gap 9 so im waiting to be farmed... when i was lvling i kept gap 0 with my pacheon mastery and i got last book of strong bow and combo, and that alone made a huge difference so i think its gonna pwn when its farmed

ppl says some types of hybrid (80:80, 70:70, 80:70 w/e lol)is great and id like to try but i dont want to lvl another char, and im loving my pure str anyway

full str lighting fire bow is best I think. Lighting just for grasswalk and phantom walk, and imbue fire as main.
