hey all just wanted ur thoughts on a blade/bow pure str character.

i probably wont ever get any of my chars to the cap so im wondering...
how good a combination would it be...
wat forces to choose
and wat lvl should i lvl the skills to "if" i so get it to cap.

so yer plz give me ur opinions.
Thanx:)

Well a blader with knockback would be annoying, tho if ur not planning to get past lvl73, u'll be somewhat average IMO. I would probably go with something like Bicheon 100/Pacheon 100/80 Fire/20 Cold. Debuffs from blader than kill with bow may work, probably should wait for someone else to reply.

Yeah, I agree with most of what you said. I just wouldn't recommend 20cold for this build, mainly because it doesn't have force increasing it's MP (as 100weapon/100force/80fire/20cold), so it wouldn't be exactly benefited from having 20% snow shield. Of course it'd help, but I don't think it'd really be worth losing 100fire in this case, as you'll need all the damage you can get (as you won't have force), and you'll be able to tank extremely well with blader + bow at 100 cap. You cannot rely on bicheon debuffs, they are somewhat way too rare to be relied on. If you ever get past 73 this build will be extremely annoying and strong if used correctly. You can make several combinations of skills by the way. KD, stab, stab, strong bow; strong bow, KD, stab, stab, smash, anti devil; etc etc. I really like this kind of build. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. About skills to level, I'll take a look at it later, have to lunch now.

Yea, the 20 cold was really just an example. And u can't always rely on bicheon debuffs, but u also have defense to last long enuf to get those debuffs on. I agree this build could be extremely annoying, whether i'd actually lvl one myself tho, to lvl73, probably not. This build looks good on paper, but ppl like me lol don't try it out and the build dosen't get much popularity.

I don't think, even with all the defense and survivability, you'll frequently successfully get at least 2 lowering defense debuffs on your enemy at the same time, so you really shouldn't rely on them, and even though I know these 20 lvls of fire won't change that much, but mainly for the slightly increased damage, extra magical defense and fire wall, I say 100fire over 80fire/20cold.

how would it do dmg and tanking wise? would be average for both? or better dmg then tanking or the other way around.

Well it should have the tanking ability of a blader + the knockback from bow. Damage wise, it would pretty much hit as hard as a normal full str.

Yup, with maxed fire.

This build sounds fun, arrow knock-back combos, knock down and stabs, debuffs, stun at high level, and strong bow, what more could you ask for?
