Hybrid Bow 1;1

[Bl4nk]

Ok
I'm making a 1:1 bow with 90 cold 90 light 90 bow
I'm going 1:1 because i can
i want to know 2 things will nukes have any use im guessing not (also lion shout)
and
should i get both imbues im going to get cold but im just thinking getting light if in pvp they are immune to cold


o and has anyone seen some good 1:1 bow videos

[Ricooo]

You should get nukes, just incase you run out of arrows and stuff.. Cold imbue is useless, get light.

[Bl4nk]

why is cold imbue useless
i have a level 82 blader dont say everyone is immune at cap

[Ricooo]

Lets say you do manage to freeze them, which most likely wont happen, you will do very low damage compared to light imbue.

[Bl4nk]

man im in a flaming mood so im not going to argue
its only like a 4% difference in damage


but will shouts be handy only half the damage approx of a normal int and i could proberly just do a arrow combo or something

[Ricooo]

I'm not going to talk to you if this will end up as a flame war. You asked for an opinion, and I said mine.

[Bl4nk]

lol sorry


i think ill get both imbue but what about shouts

[Ricooo]

As I've said earlier, I'd get them for times you run outta arrows or so.

Nukes and shouts will be really weak with a 1:1 bow hybrid. I wouldn't suggest you to get it. Cold imbue is useful, if you manage to save enough SP to level it, then for sure level it too. But lightning should be your main imbue only because it deals higher damage.

[Ricooo]

Ice imbue is only good in PvE.. Hence I think It's worthless.

Cold imbue is extremely useful in PvP against anyone who is not immune. It also helps a lot when at PvE. These I stated are facts. Hence it's a priceless skill which you certainly should get if you are able to.

99% of the people on SRO are immune to ice.. It's pointless.

[raphaell666]

99% of the people on SRO are immune to ice.. It's pointless.

Are you kidding?

[Ricooo]

No... I'm dead serious.

[raphaell666]

I beg to differ. Only at cap a good amount of people are ice immune, when not at cap, the big, huge majority of players are not ice immune. When at cap, there's still a good amount of people which are not ice immune, as far as I know it may be even more than what anyone would think. In my opinion, if you were to choose only one imbue, lightning for sure would be the best; in his case, he is thinking about taking both, so I don't see a problem at all. Cold imbue will still help him a lot. I cannot prove you the amount of people ice immune or not, and I'm certain that you cannot either, but I'm sure that, even if ice immunity is sort of easy to achieve with even 30 fire, there's still (a lot of?) people who don't have it. Anyways, I'm absolutely certain that "99% of the people are ice immune" is not true. Also, in group pvping cold imbue would be useless because your enemies would very probably be buffed by cleric, but at 1vs1 pvping in my opinion there are good chances that your enemy will not be immune, and if he isn't, he's going to be annoyed to death.

[Ricooo]

99% of the population is an exaggeration, but many players are ice immuned. If he wants to get both, go ahead.. But I think it'll be a waste of SP.

You can better do 70 70 naked, mayby 69 70 or 70 69 or 69 69 diffrent per lvl. When you're 70 70 and you got a nice blued gear you will reache 80 80, when you are 80 80 you can use nukes perfect, i will recommand you lighting ice pacheon 90 fire 30, uce both imbues, ice imbue is Perfect for pvp, and not all players will be immune. till lvl 73 needs 70 70 ice imbue because you dont have an attack to stop your enemy like knock back and stun status. Your gear will be protector because you are hybrid. you can also use perfect lion shout, and you will hit 3% lower with your lightning nuke then strongbow. Butt, When you use lionshout too, it will be a very expensive build with SP. I've got a pvp movie with a lv 55 bower, its 78 78 lightning ice 54 fire 40 and pacheon 54 also. FF with +2 gear and some blues.

80 80 bower for the win!

Well if u really go for a 1:1 Build which means u put the stats 1:1 then lion shout andn ukes are useless..
Because your Mag Balance is to low
A 1:1 Build has more Phy Balance than Mag

Sounds like an interesting build, do report back on this, I'd love to hear about your progress.

Bow is the most versatile of Chinese weapons, as it does almost as much magical damage as a sword and almost as much physical damage as a blade.

1:1 is like an 80/60 build, so be thinking str-heavy build. Lightning is a good choice for any bow (AR bonuses will boost your damage to the high end), but if you haven't already, you might want to give fire a good consideration. I think I would go lightning too with this build and go fire if it were heuksal or blader.

Definitely max both imbues, don't listen to these SP cheap skates, this game is all about farming for SP
Besides, if you manage to freeze a Euro warrior because he doesn't have full ice immunity, he will be so-hosed *evil laugh*

I know someone who leveled their nukes with a 1:1 build. They found some use for it in PvE (they were heuksal, though). All I can say is, if in doubt, try it out, it's only SP.

[sasuke639]

a 1:1 would give u 75:62 wich would render ur nukes useless dont get nukes
also get both imbue like raphaell666 said it is good for pve and sometimes some people arnt immune or their blues arnt that good so get them imo
keep us updated on this build if u do im curious about unique builds
