and why
Thats turks for ya bud. They are mostly wizards who are the ones who ]camp uniques all day (especially lower lvl ones ) Cause they cant get a sense of accomplishment in pvp seeing as they die in 1 hit...or 2 depending if they have bless

glaive:
dull
knockback
new spearthrow is really good apparently
fan storm = super magical defence for 15 seconds
3800 hp increase

bow:
knockback x 2
strong crits
darkness status
attack rating increase bird


bowers pwn this cap. but a glaiver played well can win.

I find it easier to grind as a glaiver if you have a good spot at aggressive mobs. Just keep using aoe attacks. But overall bow is better for pve. Lately bow is getting better for pvp but I would still recommend glaive.

Bow doesn't use mp pots at a rate as fast as glaive but you need to carry arrows.

If you are a casual player who plays a few hours a day max I would suggest bow since it usually levels faster but if you don't care about leveling speed either is fine.

I say go bow, fun u have distance in both PVE and PVP , and soloing xp is faster with bow. Monsters die before they reach you at lvl 30 and on going(same lvl monsters), its crits are like 3/5 shots u will get crit, its amazing.
