Hello folks

I am about to create a new bow man as i got temporary bored of European builds :p

So i was just wondering what you think would be the best build. Just please take the time to tell me why you voted like you did

Thanks in advance

Options:

A: Pure str build with fire/light/pacheon and fire as imbue
B: Pure str build with fire/light/Pacheon but with light as imbue
C: Hybrid build 70:70 with Light/Ice/Pacheon with light or ice as imbue
D: Hybrid build 70:70 with Fire/Ice/Pacheon with Fire/Ice as imbue

A or D would be my opinion out of those choices.
But personally Pure str with 70+ ice and 100 fire would be better in my opinion than hybrid with high ice.

A,C or D imo.

70:70 100fire/100pacheon/80light/20ice ....

I'd go for more cold, so u will be able to survive longer. A 70:70 with a 40% snow shield is tough to take down

Seems like i will take a "A" then

Thanks for the replies. Can anybody tell me the pros and cons with a 70:70 build, really appreciated. I never messed with bow builds before so i don't really know

- High base damage, Not very crit dependant
- Still Enough crit damage to get dangerous
- balanced phys/mag defence and damage
- moderate mp: can use high snow shield, thus very had to kill with snow shield on

contras:
- Lack of snow shield: danger--> not much tankability without it
- not as much hp as full str, thus more vulnerable than the full str counter part

Thanks for the answer

I think i will stick with pure str bow then, as i like to tank

It will be Puncheon 100/Fire 100/Light 100(not ice because i like 100light because of speed) Fire as imbue

Thanks for ya replies

70:70 pach/ice/ligh
oh wait, it is not an option ^^

option A imo

Don't go 100Light. Light 80/Cold 20 is much better. There is barely any difference between 80 Light and 100 Light.

BTW, a 70:70 bow with snow shield on is very tough to kill. Plus ur knockback, u'll be a real threat in 1 vs 1.

Absolutely. There really is no point in going 100 light over 80light/20cold.

A pure STR in 20% snow shield is as tough or even tougher, but it doesn't deal as much average damage, while it's crits are stronger.
