farming question.... pure str one hit bandit archers

[shoto]

I recently acquired an sos 16 bow...though i would give farming a shot. Planning on making a new char and i would like it to be as painless as possible. So, i was wondering if i should make a pure str or a pure int char? Can i still one hit imbue anti devil bandit (archers ?) if i'm pure str? The bow has been enhanced so it is +3 crit8 full blu (all on the first try BTW ).

I would like a pure str, but int suits me as well. Any advice will be considered

most people farming just imbue shoot them, anti devil is a waste of mana.

try to get as much int and str on your gear as you can. The physical and magical damage play a key as well as the + and the crit.

also as you farm you will level. The first time go to 18 before deleveling and assign the points (to str or int), then delevel. Everything helps.

INT has much better damage, but both pure STR and INT can one hit a bandit archer with Anti Devil. But, when most people farm, they use normal attacks with imbue (and maybe double arrow). INT can one hit with imbue on, while STR usually takes two hits. If you want an easier time farming, go INT.

If your pure STR this is what your going to need to 1 hit kill an archer with just a imbue shot.

All your armor/protector/garment (what ever you wear)
Needs to have int 3 (100%) on it. (Including your rings/earrings/neckless)
Your going to need a som +5 bow.
Your magic bar (The blue one) Should have a little over 1000 in it, and your magic balance should be around 62-67%

If you are still not able to 1 hit, level yourself up to level 21-22 then delevel back to 16 but keep your masteries at 7.

The great thing about it is that, youll never use a HP potion in the den. Dont even bother bringing hp berries with you...you wont need them lol

If your pure INT, then all you need (bow wise) would prob just be a sos+3 bow, A couple int's on your armor and you should be able to 1 hit.

if your str you wont be able to 1 shot archers, unless you lvl up to lvl 24-25 and then lvl back down to 16. and then still you need full int/str on your gear and a som+5 bow.

if your are int, all you need i think is full int/str on oyur gear and sos+ bow.
