to be able to reach 79:80 (45 int/str bonus) or 80:79(45 str/int bonus) or 80:80 (50 str/50 int bonus), ur balances must be 71% phy and 67% mag to be able to reach 80:80, if you keep ur balances 70:70 you won't reach 80:80 or 79:80 or 80:79, it ends up as 78:82 or even 77:83, i have done this many times on character builder and having 70:70 balances would not reach you 80:80 since the amg balance is raised much easier then the phy balance. Any opinions? if you don't believe me try it out for urself.

It don't matter.
Your base balance should be 70/69.

but in threads it says, to be a strong bow you must be 80:80, and you can't reacht hat without your base balance being 71/67, so shud i make base 70/69 or 71/67? because atm i'm lvl72 2:1 int hybrid spear and to switch to bow i need add the rest of my levels into str and this will give me 70/69 balance but with 45 bonuses on str and int i wil reach 77/82

Go for the 70/69 or 69/70 balance. The rest is pure Increases they don't hurt you. It isn't a disaster if you are not exactly 80:80. Don't matter, really.

Yep just to second what Stress said. It really doesnt matter what your balances are.
If you think you can tank really well with the new mana shield you might want to go a bit more int so that you hit harder. If you aren't going to use cold then you might want a bit more strength to help you tank.

As long as you stay in the basic range you will be fine.

I don't know which book is better but no hawk increases chance of critical.
