Considering bow is recommend to go pure str. I was wondering if being a str hybrid for bow is good.
I know that str hybrids crit for less and have less hp to tank, but is there any advantage to this build?

just more mp. thats about it. maybe a little more damage with some magic skills, but not much. str isnt made for damage. its meant to be a tank. so just go pure str.

thanks for that input, but if i'd tank i rather go for s/s or glaive. so i guess being a str hybrid just gives more mp. but what if the build was 1:1?

bows are like str nukers . thay are basicaly almost the same as int nukers
nukers charge up with large nukes and than go BOOM!! , bowers charge up a big strong bow or a anti devilbow and than go BOOM!!
in order to get the max BOOM !! outa your bow skills you need 100% or more phy ballance , and a critt 10+ bow
str hybrids usualy dont have 100% phy ballance ,

The only SOS thing ever in my entire SOS collection is 1 Lousy 4th degree poison reduce thingy. And now the only thing my glaive has is +3 strength and some steady and immortal stuff

i cant really take out white mobs quickly. i use an antidevil, imbue, 2arrow combo, explosion arrow and still not dead. lol.

Then kill green mobs. Find a bow with at least a crit of 8. At lvl 31, with a lvl 29 +2 bow crit of 8, I was taking out demon horses in 1 -2 hits, and criting at over 1300 points of damage.
I am lvl 61, now, and I was taking out devil yetis (white mobs) in 1-2 hits at lvl 60.
Bows don't do a lot of damage, and they have a low AR. This is compensated by crits. Str adds to crit damage, and how much str you have on a per level basis, I tend to believe, will increase your chance for crits.
Add str tablets to your equipment (start with your jewelry).
