Some questions about my build

Post by Theo.gr »

This is my current build: http://bobtheveg.dyndns.org/SRO/Char_Build_Applet/?profile=20248
(Yes, I am going to farm)

I had many different plans in my mind but I came to something like this:

Skills

Pancheon:
Anti devil bow-Missile->Anti devil bow-Wave->Anti devil bow-Steel
2 Arrow combo->3 Arrow combo->4 Arrow combo
White hawk summon->Blue hawk summon
Demon soul arrow->Bloody soul arrow->Dragon soul arrow
Berserker arrow->Demon arrow->Devil arrow
Strong bow-Spirit->Strong bow-Vision
Mind concentration

Fire:
River fire force->Extreme fire force->Poison fire force->Soul fire force
Flame body-Wisdom->Flame body-Power-Flame body-Extreme
Flame wave-Arrow
Flame devil force

Lightning:
Must-Piercing force->Flow-Piercing force->Speed-Piercing force->Force-Piercing force
Grass walk-Flow->Grass walk-Speed
Concentration-1st->Concentration-2ndConcentration-3rd
Wolf's thunderbolt->Tiger's thunderbolt
Heaven's Force

Defence:
Garment

STR & INT Balance:

Now that's the question. What should the balance be for a character like this?

I'd say 60 100 or 70 90 since you decided to get the nukes.

int hybrid can be good, but i would not take the
nukes if i were you. not because the bowmen cant
nuke, but because the bow is a more str based
weapon. there is no high magical attack on the
bows, compared to swords and spears.

anyway, if you do take this build and make it to
a decent level, please post your stats and your
experiences here since there are not many int
heavy hybrid bowmen yet that have succeeded
in building a well balanced char and getting it to
high level. :)

It seems that there are 2 choices:
1)With the nukes and 70:70
2)Without the nukes and Full Str, if I don't take the nukes shouldn't I add something else?

i would completely leave out the nukes if you go for a
bow build. nukes are good for ints because they need
the range since they are very weak and cant let mobs
come too close. bowmen already have that range and
have a weapon that is more str balanced than int. if
you really want to, you can add 1 or 2 nukes for the
fun of it, but bow seems to work best without nukes.

70/70 build worked good with imbues i believe. i dont
have an archer myself but it seems that this hybrid
build can crit as high / higher than a pure str bower,
and can be very useful in pve AND pvp and can be
used as a support char by adding the force tree as a
sub.

Since your bow, you won't be nuking, so leave nukes out of your build. Nukes and bow don't go along well. Also they'll do crap damage compared to your weapon skills even in a 70:70 build.

Then I'll leave the nukes 'n' add some force skills.

So Full Str or Hybrid Int?

archers are no good on hybrid int simply because bows
wont compensate the lack of magic damage like spears
do.

i would go hybrid str or 70/70 and to be honest i would
get not get the nukes. use lightning if you want for speed
increase with the grasswalk skills and a reasonably good
imbue, or use fire for str increase (as compensation for
the str you will lack being a hybrid) with the defense and
the strongest imbue.
also, fire has shield defense buffs which you can use by
just equipping a shield, casting the buff and equipping
your bow afterwards. the shield buff will last.

so id say go hybrid str or 70/70, what you want, and
take pacheon and fire as main, and force as sub tree.

What is Hybrid Str?

hybrid str means you put points in both str and
int, but you put most points in str.
like you said in your previous post you would
become a pure str or an int hybrid, int hybrid
means you put most points in int and some in
str.

str hybrid means str heavy hybrid
int hybrid means int heavy hybrid

possible str hybrid is 2:1 str:int points per level
or 3:1. for 70/70 naked balance, check your
character screen ("C") each level and look at
your physical and magical balance, and try to
keep them close by adding either str (to up the
physical balance) or int (to up the magical
balance).
both mean hybrid, but 70/70 is an equal hybrid
and str hybrid leans more towards str.
