why pure Int Bow makes sense

[caseyd4]

STR Hyb is the way to go as we always knew

Int Hybrids suffer a whole load of defensive loss, once snow shield is down you dead.

With a Str Hyb you aim for maximising your Magical attack while not losing your curcial criticals.

Pure Int is as dumd if not dumber than pure Str, Ignoring the stats and the skills of the game.

70:70 with 90 ice is viable with light and Force

Str Hyb is best with the maxed phy increas and mag increase from light and fire then deciding if you want to hit harder or stay alive more often leads you to not max out either to get more from snow shield.
I prefer to hit harder

:D I'm a total n00b to SRO so far, but doesn't even the game's own description say that bowers are hybrid by default? Not pure this or that, but hybrid.

Well, it's true that all chinese weapons are hybrid in nature, however, since the games been out, certain builds for each weapon has been tried, tested, and mainstreamed.

OT, but where do I find info on that? Don't say "use the search" feature, I get lost in my own home...

Still don't see why bows better.. It had kb and stun..
But so does spear besides spear does higher damage..
Sword has castle shield, KD, status from chain ect..
and more dmg than bow.. Bow has long range.. So do nukes!
which are your primary skill.. I don't see it.. It's been
done and it wasn't good otherwise tons of people would
have copied by now.. Sorry doesn't really work as well
as other weapons.. Not the worst idea though..

before bows got kb and stuns, int bows are definite NO.
with kb and stuns, it's quite different now and it may just work. i've not seen that many int bows around to declare it a fail at 90caps.

nuke range are shorter than bows. kb+stun (kb+kb @ 100caps) then nuke when in range > doesnt seem a bad deal to me.
