str bow and sp farming...

Planing to make a str/bow/fire and lighting as a buff. I'd be looking at aprox. 147k sp do you think I need to sp-farm or could i just go with a 4-5 lvl gap be ok ?

And should i max everything in the "Explosion Arrow Series" ?

yes explosion arrow, arrow combo and the anti devil series is a must. they increase crit and do high damage in a low amount of time. strong bow on the other hand is like an optional move, you dont really need it. i think its best to farm like 5k at lv 16 and then keep 3-5 gap from there.

Arrow combo is optional imo. It uses up a ton of arrows in a short span of time (reducing grind time), and book 2 hardly does more damage than 2 regular hits in about the same amount of time. (that's because bows attacks have this loading time... it's takes 2~3 secs of holding it before my antidevil before it goes off. similarly, there's 1~2 secs of loading time for my arrow combo, then 1~2 secs of the actual skill. In 3 secs, a bow can fire off 2+ regular shots as well)

worrying about arrows is like worrying about pot usage, who cares.

combo is a finishing or transition move like lion shout for nukers.

combo is essential to any decent archer build.

I agree with LadyB's assessment of skills, but I disagree about farming. You'll need alot of skill points. Get as many as you can stand at 16, 32, 42, and 52. Everyone has their own opinions on the SP farming issue. Take each with a grain of salt.

It is kind of important when u don't buy item mall arrows. I carry 3k arrows, which lasts me a long time, assuming I don't use arrow combo. Plus, I kill at the same rate with arrow combo or without arrow combo. Therefore, why expend the extra sp?
