Dual Wielding Blade and Bow; full str

Max Blade Skills
Max Bow Skills
Max Fire
Max Lightening

I am thinking that since blades level so slow, can we add the bow masteries to increase leveling speed? Bows level the fastest in str builds, so when we get bows, won't that compensate for blades' slowness in leveling?

waste of sp =\

don't do 2 weapon trees, try to focus on one weapon tree only.

Bow speed is just great the first 30 lvls then it takes a lot to lvl or the same of bladers, ive seen bows needing 10 hits to kill one mob...

1) bows only lvl faster at lower damage, after that glaivers because of their damage
2) it is an option.. but keeping them both equal to your lvl will also require alot of sp, so it won't neccesery be faster. Also, you don't base your char on it's lvl speed.. more of 'fun' and pvp

sp is not a problem, because if I don't lvl bow skill I would lvl ice anyways. That bows lvl slower in higher lvls might be a reason to not do it.

Dont do it, at higher levels you'll run out of masteries and not have enough for buffs ect.

Yeah... 1 weapen is the best like other ppl stated:P

Thats a huge waste of sp there bud. I wouldnt do it if i were you. Then again what do i know im retarted.

If you are looking for a fast lvling build i would suggest going nuker

it needs less sp and is more efficient

unless u are doing some EXTREME sp farming, this is a total waste of time and sp

yup 1 of de threads had a video of some dude fightin wid hes char dat had 2 wepon trees which were spear and sword and shield and forces were light and fire as a primery for nukes and ice some low lvl for phys protction lol dat was so cool dudes rust me dat dude OWNED !!!!

1 weap man...just max one weap and it will be strong and u can kil mobs faster rather than 2 medium power farmed/semi weaker than normal weaps.

1 strong better than 2 weak.

to be fair, most bow chars u see are hybrid junk.. a good str archer can kill very quickly with the right moves

I've actually done just that with my character Serran. She's hybrid Int. I'm using Sword/Shield and Bow but I'll be leaving bow only up to the 3x level. The bow only gives you an advantage at lower levels (30 and below) since you can get to a mob before others can. After that I just use bow when I'm bored grinding using sword/shield + nuke or when doing trade runs killing off pesky NPC thieves/mobs. It does require a lot of SP and money (due to the 3 weapons that you need to update) and you may have to delevel it in the future if you require more space for other skill trees. (max mastery level limit is 300). I'm currently at 200+ at lv45. For me, its a way to get the most out of the game. I'll probably quit before getting to lv6x so the max mastery lvl doesn't matter. I just want to get the powerguard of ice and the heaven/ascension chains because they look cool heh heh If you plan on getting to the level cap then I suggest focusing on one weapon since it will save you a lot of time deleveling your bow skills later.

rofl when i posted my unser den in de evning when i saw my bro trainin in caves i looked and saw a person wid a galvie and a blue howk so dats lvl 54 bow skill and a glavie skills

I have 2 wep mastery. Nothing bad but I use bow for extra buff for attack rating. Help from keeping damage from droping below max damage. I am pure Int S/S nuker. S/S= Sword & Shield. Raise it to level 31 at max. Other then that it is useless.
