So which would be better, sword fire and ice, or bow fire and ice. Both pure int. Sword has all those debuffs, but bow now has 2 kb books and stun and with pure int can tank too. Is light still good. I remember in the old days nuker had to have the mag dmg +% books and parry inc, but now ppl seem to have dropped it.

The Pure Int Bower would be pretty poor at PvP, but awesome in PvE, whereas the Nuker would be good in both PvP and PvE.

Conclusion, Nuker.

yesh, nuker,
though the bow would be the fastest chinese lvler it'd fall to easily without snow or a wall

I doubt that pure Int archers can "tank" now because of the 2 KB skills. You can only KB one target at a time and you can still get killed quite easily while casting Strong Bow. So yeah, Nuker.

they can "half" tank with the 60% snow,
knockback only as a supplementary for healing up,
walls for an additional defence
but its true, as soon as they get stunned they fall.

only real advantage is the sick damage output

pure int bow spamming KB skills can kill people.

Think a little... pure int damage is a constantly criticaling pure str's

constantly criticaling knockback skill wins

(Not to mention the immense range of the bowers. They can take anything out before something could reach them )

you need hard, continuous damage to take down a warrior or a blader.
even with full int, the arrow combo is continuous, but damage is moderate, not high.
the pots would be enough to keep the opponent at above 50% life
