having had a hybrid int bower myself..i know this build isn't complete a 'fail'. yes it is pretty damn hard to pvp with this build..but apart from pvping..pve and uniques are very very easy.

I tried out pvp vs glaives same lvl(or higher, im sure he is like 80-85) and without manashield i died almost instantly(im in garments:D), but if i had the shield on, the ah so mighty glaiver got owned.
combo+phantom away+str bow+ anti devil+combo+phantom. Also, there is one remarkable feat in this. The hibrid blader who owned me several times(he is my friend in game too, one crazy mofo XD ), couldnt own the glaiver, perhaps he didnt wanted to, idk.

So blader > bow > glaiver and blader = glaiver at this point(for me at least)

cheers to you guys. it's really enticing to try this build. looks like my journey to get 1 character to 90caps is gonna be longer than it had to. LoL ...

[hyma]

i might be a freak but **** yeah, i find this build damn funny.
ok im not pure int, but im not 70:70 either, im hyb int based and i pwn
of course i die, who dont? anyway, i really like it.

After reading this topic, I found out that there's nothing I could say that hasn't been already said.

I guess this would be an interesting character to play with, I will just have to check it out someday.

[DGamer]

yea its worth the try !

[fobbytommy]

I say.. you should try it first

hope you don't quit at lvl30 ish...^^

Good Luck

IMO, I just like Pure STR builds >.<

LoL ... most pure int chinese use bow till 30 when they get their nukes anyways. 1-40 should be quite a breeze, but I think the going gets tougher from lvl 40+. But you cant really feel its full potential until you get the knockbacks and stun, just like the pure str and 70:70 counterparts.

reasons y this build wouldn't be so hot

1) even pure int spear (the highest constant pure int dmg outputter for chinese) has problems, even though it has extra 2k+ hp at lvl 90

2) bow has the lowest magical attk (worst than a blade, u'd do more dmg nuking w/ a blade, lol)

3) yay, the sniper that's untouchable, lol...nothing's untouchable 1v1...unless u plan to have another bower help u out

4) it's more likely u'll be the 1 that's not immune to ice & not whoever ur pvping

5) strong bow = 20% stun possibility (much worst probability than that of soul spear)

6) yay, kb w/ arrow combos...that skill never was made as a finisher

7) no 15sec buffs (like bicheon, hueksal) nor a shield to help block some attks...so when that lil snow shield runs out...i'd say 2 hits by a glaive (soul spear + ghost spear) unless u have sosun equipment, lol

but u can always try & let us know ^^

Bow doesn't have the lowest magical attack


Stun is 25%, not 20%, but eh...it's still only 25%:

Strongbow maxed @ 90 cap ~

Phy.Att 541 ~ 731 (350%)
Critical 10 Increase
Shot range 4.0m Increase
Stun Level 9 ( Probability 25%, 5 Secound )

Compared to Soul Spear Soul & Emperor:

Soul ~
Phy.Att 470 ~ 604 (175%)
Successive shots 2 Times
Stun Level 8 ( Probability 30%, 5 Secound ), 1 Time

Emperor ~
Phy.Att 773 ~ 993 (175%)
Successive shots 2 Times
Stun Level 9 ( Probability 15%, 5 Secound ), 2 Times

And for the snow shield bit, it's true for all int based chinese builds...kill before snow runs out or pray to be one lucky s.o.b.

I had a pure int bow during the 70 cap times, before knock back and stun. All i'd do in PvE was anti devil bow - nuke - arrow combo. It was a really fun build and quite strong too. I might begin a pure int bow char again. I've always like exotic builds. I am experimenting with a light/glaive atm

[sheeplol6]

ive made one of these to 3X and its no point continuing, honestly.
the range advantage at higher levels can be reached by phantom, they have very low HP, once their caught up in melee their screwed. bows have low magical damage. the bow has no buffs like fan storm, even though its int, can be one shotted by a wizard. your crits will be weak, so your losing the effect of the first books and strong bow.
and KB's, still not enough time to finish the kill.
this build though is fun ^_^

^ best chines build for taxis,
with nukes for damage and mindbow to lure

and (in my opinion) best for pvE, especially in areas with moderate spawn so you can single mobs out and not have to run far

[jyushinshuu]

i think its worth a try. btw ppl pure int are weak at lower levels because of low level snow shieds.

i have a lv72 pure int s/s, with mastery bicheon lv70 all skill maxed, fire lv70 all skill maxed, light/cold lv60 all skill maxed.

i want to reset my skill and try a pure int bow. can anyone estimate the gold cost for this mastery to change fire/bicheon lv0. cuz i wanna go for pancheon/light/cold maxed. i wanna if this build really sux or not or maybe its how i play this build to be successful.

[ln]

wow ... it's already plenty of hours and hardwork to get this far. i don't recommend you delevel bicheon, that's a good build. you may wish to try int bow on another character.

[Polemique]

Do anyone have this build now on a higher level?
Could you just give a statement about it, it would be really great
I would love to get some information about it!

[jyushinshuu]

yes its good but i'm planning to drop bicheon cuz planning to fire/light/cold maxed but since i have read this buld maybe ill go for it. having bicheon mastery will cost me a lot of skill points to farm.
im thinker getting pancheon than to go for pure nuker.cuz only few skills needed to get.

can anyone estimate the cost? i am willing to spend 200mil for deleveling my skills to drop bicheon and fire to 0, but if it will cost more than 200mil then maybe ill just go for pure nuker *_*
