Force Bowers?

Hello.
Recently on my server (Xian) i've been coming across a lot of Bower characters that have the Force series at lvl 90? (i.e. they have Force series, the one with the healing and debuffers etc, as one of their main skill trees). Now, the reason i am making this post is because i need help on how "I" can make one of these characters? :roll: because they seem pretty dam strong :twisted: . I get that they need 90 Force, but what about the other skill masteries? as a guess i would go for: 90 bow, 90 force, 90 fire and 30 light? I'm afraid if i go for this i may be weak :cry:
ALL YOU FORCE BOWERS OUT THERE! give me some advice on what to do??? :D
Thanks
xxx

90 bow/fire/force, 30 ice (for snowshield) would be the best force bow build IMO.

What Moshe said, I am a force bower, and going that way. But you can either go for light 30. Just what you want. BTW I'm lvl 80.

Not really. You can heal yourself, use 1 second delay pots, you would have 20% snow shield and knock backs.

I'm pretty sure that the Chinese debuffs have a higher effect than holy spell covers. I know ice imbue does.

That's a negative.

The thing is that holy spell/word can only be updated once every 10 skill levels, where the ice/fire/light skills can be updated earlier (like once each 2 lvls), so they will surpass the holy skill temporarily, until it is (if possible) updated. At the cap, if I recall correctly the holy skill won't make the char immune to fire/ice/lightning effects. I don't know about others, but against debuffs they will be immune.

Except like bleed or division was it? Not sure which one..I think bleed from the bicheon's first skill row.

can still be ice immune with ring blues.

bleed/panic go through spell
if you have max disease on you sometimes the capped hidden skill works.

there was this force bow 1:1 hybrid 2months ago on mercury lvl 80,

up on roc mountain, he stood like a turret at the wing tribe chasers debuffing and 2-3 hit killing them.

Seems force bowers are damn strong

Depends if you want to be pure or hybrid. Pure is pretty easy to do, but if you go hybrid you might have to change a few things based on preference and damage.

And btw, I'm a 90 hybrid str force bower and I love my build. ^_^

Yeah, it's bleed. Division does not surpass holy word as far as I know.
