Some thoughts about bow users

I am a bow user myself, and after 3X lvls of arrow shooting. i've got some thoughts about the bow and would like to share with people.
A bow character is very fun to play, he/she can shoot from far, and some of the skills looks pretty cool ( ie. strong bow, anti devil, etc.), and you can kill the mob before they can hit you, or only taking one hit and the mob is dead. Also, you can get some pretty cool crit hits as well.
however, all this coolness have a price to pay. first of all, we all know our inventory space are very important to us to put those life saving potions, recovery kits, return scrolls, abnormal pills, your wolf, and lots of other stuff. but on top of that, for a bow user you need to put your billions of arrows. unless you use silk and buy the 10k arrows item to save yourself some space for item drops.
Second, a bow user does not have a shield, so you'll take more damage from mobs and don't have block. but you can sort of make it up by having a pure STR bower which has lots of HP.
Third, a bower's skills are little bit less powerful than other weapons, but ppl will say bowers got strong bow. but the problem with the strong bow is, it takes ages to actually shoot the arrow. you press strong bow, you charging charging and charging, and then some nuker came in and one hit nuked the mob you're trying shoot at. a soul spear or a nuke can attk much faster than strong bow, and almost as powerful.
After all, you may think it is pointless to be a bow user, but i still think there must be something or some way to play the bow. otherwise, they wouldn't make the bow there for nothing.
i remember when i first started this game, every player i talk to in the game say the bow is weak, they all tell me to go STR glavie or INT spear for most damage and blah blah blah.
i don't care what they say, if they say is the weakest weapons in the game, ok. i will find a way to play it effectively.
if arrows took too much space?? buy a monkey and buy the 10k arrow to save you some space.
if no shield, do some alchemy, add it up.
if attks are slower, plan your combo, try some faster attks skills, try anti-devil, multi shoot combo.
test out your fighting style with your bow skills. There is no such thing as a weakest weapon in the game, just depends on how you use it.
Let's go bow users, show them what you're made of!!!!!~~
