would this build work?
Weapon : Bow / Glaive ( Bow for PvE and Glaive for PvP )reason im thinking bow and glaive is cause bows dont stand good chance Vs str builds..and thats were i pop out the glaive ..and i could also use anti devil bow..then when they get near..pop out that glaive..
Skill Trees : Pacheon
-Anti Devil Bow
-Arrow Combos
-Hawk
-Demon Soul
- Berserker arrow Or Strong Bow
-Passive
Heaskul
-Soul spear
- Ghost Spear or Combos
-Passive
Fire
-Imbue
-Flame Body
-fire protection
-passive
Lighting
-Grass Walk
-Concentration
-Passive
- I know it would take ALOT of sp to make this build but i would just grind some at lvl 16 and then leave a lvl gap of 3 or 4
- I think this would be a good build cause if your fighting a str build then u switch to glaive and you'll also have that nice hawk with you
- when your pVe you just use bow.Reason = get to mobs faster = Kill faster = Gain lvls Faster
all your thoughts on this build are welcome..since its just an idea.

You know what? It just might work!
I'm currently building an archer, and I've decided to invest in Heuksal mastery (just for the passive) instead of Cold mastery. My reasoning is: Cold mastery only increases my 'physical' defense, whereas the Heuskal passive grants extra hit points which (I hope) will help me to survive both "physical' and 'magical' attacks.
With my planned build, I really don't see why it wouldn't be possible to have a few extra Heuksal weapon skills as well. It would just require a bit of extra SP farming.
Anyway, this is my currently planned build:
Pure Strength Fire/Lightning Archer
· Pacheon Bowmanship Mastery (max 70) – 24,420sp
· Anti–Devil Bow Series (max all 3 books) – 8578sp (main attack skill)
· Arrow Combo Attack Series (max all 3 books) – 9946sp (follow up attack)
· Hawk Training Series (max books 1 and 3) – 7440sp (NO BLACK HAWK! Increased attack rating = higher damage)
· Break Heaven Arrow Series (max books 1 and 2) – 2484sp (increase range by 3.8m)
· Explosion Arrow Series (max books 1 & 2) – 7070sp (OPTIONAL! AoE)
· Mind Concentration Series (max) – 1680sp (passive attack rating increase = higher damage)
Total = 61,618sp
· Fire Force Mastery (max 70) – 24,420sp
· Fire Force Series (max all 4 books) – 11,359sp (fire imbue, main attack skill)
· Fire Shield Series (max all 4 books) – 6817sp (reduce negative status effects, must equip a shield to activate. Lasts 10 mins)
· Flame Body Series (max books 1 & 2, level 1 of book 3) – 1445sp (physical damage buff. Extra 7% physical damage)
· Fire Protection Series (max all 3 books) – 11,754sp (magical defense buff. Extra 91 points of magical defense)
· Flame Devil Force Series (max) – 1680sp (passive physical damage increase. Extra 6% physical damage)
Total = 57,475sp
· Lightning Force Mastery (60) – 12,764sp
· Piercing Force Series (max books 1, 2, 3) – 2018sp (OPTIONAL! Magical damage buff. Gives an extra 15% magical damage)
· Wind Walk Series ( max book 1, level 10 of book 2, level 3 of book 3) – 7693sp (59% speed increase & 19.0m teleport distance)
· Concentration Series (max books 1 & 2) – 3930sp (+27 parry rate increase = less damage taken)
· Heaven’s Force Series (max) – 1680sp (passive parry rate increase)
Total = 28,085sp
· Heuksal Spearmanship Mastery (60) – 12,764sp
· Cheolsam Force Series (max) – 1680sp (hit point passive. 1078 extra hit points)
Total = 14,444sp
Total skill points required = 161,622sp (159,604 without Piercing Force). To earn enough skill points (without farming) leave a 4 level gap for the entire game (will earn 161,012sp by level 70).
As you can see, adding a few more Heuksal skills wouldn't be much of a problem. Hmmm...I think this is a very interesting idea you've had, and one that definitely deserves consideration. Well done!
Cheers

This is the build I have for my main. There are a few problems with it.
1) I have bow in slot 1 and glaive in slot 2. Once you get to the higher levels you cant fit the weapons and the skills from BOTH weapons in the same bar. Not that big a deal.
2) Once you hit level 42 it starts to become prohibitively expensive to get 2 really good weapons. I decided to go mainly glaive. I spend for a great glaive and just use a good bow as backup.
3) SP requirements. I never really farmed early and it came back to bite me. I have cut bow back to 30. Only have points in passive, hawk and anti-devil bk 2. When I NEED these mastery levels then I get rid of bow skills completely.
Good points.
1) I also have force and bow from a harmony circle ROX.
2) Mobs my level are over half dead by the time they are in glaive range. If I hit a crit with anti-devil they never reach me. Since glaiv is in a quick slot when they do get in range it takes 0 time to switch.
3) Equip bow, use hawk and switch to glaive allows the atk. bonus to work with glaive.
