Currently im lvl 56 full INT light/fire/ice with a 4 gap.

im getting tired of looking at the same nukes so i wanted a add a weapon tree and i always love bow.

so my question is should i go 70:70 Hybrid or full INT bow. im planing on taking ice/light with me but if fire is better for hybrid i might take it.

Note* im playing ZSZC so the cap is lvl 100

Never heard of pure int bow , bow is a hybrid weapon , why u don't go s/s or spear ?

already talked with u about the hybrid part

The MP and HP increases exponentially, dont know about the balance though.
If u distribute them even, you dont profit from the exponentiality (?).

Correct me if I'm wrong.

well ive already hod s/s and spear, and ive always loved bow so i thought i would give it a shot.

int bows are rare but there are a few high lvl ones, and from what ive heard they are pretty good.
its just the extra hp is tempting me for the 70:70 hybrid

go 70:70 hybrid

i happen to have owned an int bower-> 1:5 hybrid, not 70:70
but i guess its the closest you'll get to that sort of hybrid compared to looking from a str bows view.
i'll try and get him to tape how he grinds with it.

I'd just keep up the full INT bow. In ZSZC, if you have enough INT you can use the highest level of snow shield. It doesn't consume HP, just needs a certain amount of INT to acquire it. The damage will be higher and the lost HP will be made up with an increased snow shield dmg. absorption.

i think ill go for pach/light/ice.

thanks for your help guys

Int Bows are fun, and awesome to grind with/incredibly fast levelers. Just be careful with pvp... You will have some issues there. But other than that, I enjoyed playing one for a few months..

Int is better than hybrid I think.

Unless ZSZC has knockback (Cant confirm it) i wouldn't suggest going int bow becuase its one of the reasons that int bowers are strong. That along with the nice steady damage output and the stun from the final book to that lvl 31 bow skill really make it awesome

We do have knock back and we've got stun as well

Then it should work out nicely. If only bladers has statuses on the chains now :/

Consider this:

STR is what contributes to crit damage, so PURE STR will always crit higher than INT, so i'd go hybrid over full INT, that way, your crits will be awsome aswell as good average damage.

the crit damage of a str build is equal to an int build's crit(same weapon,stats and skills)
the only thing dividing them is the difference between their non-crit damage.


i agree with this however
