Bow questions

I have 2 questions:

1. Is autumn wind worth getting? Some ppl say yes, other say no, so if any higher lvl bower could share his exp on this subject, it would be nice.

2. Should I go for garment or protector?

Personally i like autumn bow, helps with leveling speed. Low colldown as oppsoed to mind bow and the explosions series as well.

Also, what build?

Ok, another question :P

Was thinking little about the build...

Currently lvl 30 so it' s time to decide wich way to go.
These are my 2 options:
90 pach/fire/light ice 30
90 pach/fire/ice light 30

Wich do you prefer and why please. :D

ice @ 30 gives u a minor snow shield vs light at 30 gives a minor grass walk.
ice @ 90 gives u a good increase to deffense and a gr8 snow shield vs light at 90 gives a good bonus to speed and phantom.
imo it would b better to have light at 90 to put distance between urself and ur oppoenent, and it helps when grinding on mobs that spawn on the thin side. also even a minor snow shield can save ur life when in a difficult situation but having too high of a snow shield for a pure str can make it so u wont b able to use other skills when ur taking a lot of dmg.

1. this thread isnt about masteries.


here's your answers:

a) Autumn wind suks unless u got extra sp to get it. U wont need it on pvp and u'll need it for grindin only if your other skills are underfarmed.

b)depends on ur strategy:

- Hybrid str or Hybrid int = protectors, since u need to restore the phy def u lost addin int.
- Pure str = no way other than garms. Once u dont hav any hp increase or shield, u'll get pwned by any int based char.
- Garms can also be a strategy to reduce ur mp use and add speed, once both are essential to bowers.

With 30 ice I'd go prot.

And yeah it's a good skill. Worth it..
Mind bow to lure, once you got lots of mobs
around you then use all your AoE attacks..
Speeds up grinding..

Dont get prot, i tried it with my 90 archer and i got hit bigtime by any int-based build. Full str wont kill you fast enough anyway ;)

at least keep the first book till you get better skills, but since you are already so close to strong bow might not be important now, i just about hit 30 on my archer and i don't think it would have been so easy with out autumn wind, actually pretty cool combined with the bomb arrow and the mind bow, aoe grinding is faster grinding most of the time , won't be helpfull in pvp though i don't forsee when you got higher percent moves, but i did get a double kill with it in ctf aiming for a wiz and another on that was already hit got in the way of it
