I'm building a new character and wondering which build is more fun to play. Bower or Blader? I currently have a pure int s/s nuker. And which skills should I get for the build. Which one is better for pvp?

Full STR blader for excellent PvP and horrible PvE. You will not have fun grinding
Full Str bower for great PvE and decent PvP too.

Full Str blade: max out: chain sword series, knockdown books, stab books, sword dance - optional, passive

Full Str bow: max out: Anti-devil, multi-arrow, explosion arrow, strong bow, passive. At the cap explosion arrow is better then strong bow. if you have sufficient SP max both.

Hope it helps

Sorry but I think a lvl80 blader will have enough resistance to counter the ice effect.

Btw I think you should choose yourself in which build to go. Both builds are good and fun to play with. But if I was to start a new character I would definately try bow, seeing how more bow builds are being discovered to be good. (from what I heard) good luck.

basically no build is fun until youre done farming.. but bladers are a torcher to farm, bowers are a lot easier to kill mobs with. but if u want fun imo bowers are more fun overall.

im currently farming a pure str bower and its FUN just stand in 1 place and murder everything

Get a bow with a high crit if you go bow

i would go bow cuz they're funner to play and bladers lvl slooooow!!! i know cuz my bro is 1 or maybe he just sux... (oh well) anyways the point is i think bowers are funner to play but it's really up to u to decide... no one can make the decision for u

Thanks guys. I think i'll go with bower. Sound like blader will lvl very slow. Well, since i have a s/s nuker rite now i don't want to play blader. pure str bow is good?

Yes, pure STR fire bow with light buffs, and ice for extra phys. defence. You should wear garms:
fire skills: imbue, fire shield, flame body, fire protection, fire wall (optional), passive

lightning skills: piercing force, grass walk, concentration, passive

Ice skills: frost guard, frost nova - optional, passive.

Hope it helps

No passive skills are bad, so everyone should get them ^_^
Bladers are very good at being annoying and impossible to kill; they can tank practically everything in the game and still live. Bowers require more dexterity; if you are not careful, you will die often in PvP. In PvM, they are the best Pure STR build in terms of training speed, only surpassed by nukers or people with crazy gear. I know that glaives are also fast levelers, but they still have to get up close to attack; bows just snipe (by the time the monster reaches you, it should be close to dead).

A full str Bow pwns my full str blader build
