xbow vs. chinese bow

[luvmangamaniac]

I hear people say that "oh, xbow is way better than archer." I think that chinese bow is much better than european xbow. I want to hear other peoples persepective please. Please post

Xbow owns

Ps. Woulda bn better to use a poll with this topic

in the early lvls xbow is far superior to the bow...
but as you get to higher lvls the bow starts to overtake the xbow...

xbow xbow xbow

hmmm, xbow does have the KB and KD but there really isnt anything special about the xbow. While the bow has awesome skills, that look cool and there is a larger variety of skills comparied to xbow. But im not saying that xbow isnt better, im just saying bow is cooler and possibly better than xbow.

don't 4get the high crit probability of the xbow, and stealth and buff advantages.

chinese bow runs out of arrows quiet fast
but xbow doesnt need much bolts because it only needs 2 te finish a general mob

im lvl 88 fought a lvl 90 chinese bow i hit him 30k and the other times i keep kncoking him down and back until a crit and he dies. Btw the bower didnt have full blue gear but neither did i, i had +3 set and he probaly had the same. so i think it was a pretty fair fight.
here is his stats

eventually xbow will overtake the bow's crit increase skills because of the avoid passive

chinese archer with fire, once you spot a rogue attack, with CE on he cant tank more than 3 hits

about the criticals...

isnt that because of it being full str and the critical stat and the critical spells ?

a bow could be pure str and have good critical stats and have common crits too right ?

I think with cold or fire archer owns but xbow is rogue which also has melee that may be a reason they say xbow rules since it can melee and range.

Bow will win... put on firewall to awoid KD/KB... wear armor... oh and Xbow wont hit sh*t on me without crossbow extreme. If you get the stun on them with the strongbow, you will surely win.

[luvmangamaniac]

Awesome i've decieted to do both. Full strength xbow/dagger/cleric and Full Strength Bower with light or fire/ cold

I have Xbow and there is none of them better. It is just who hits what. If I crit my first shot I will kill a chinese bow in 1 hit, even 5 - 10 lvls higher. But if a bow stuns me and then hit me hard while I have Crossbow Extreme on (much higher damage but half hp and def. power) I will die for sure.

So you can't say Crossbow is better or Chinese Bow is better.

That is very true
