Hi,
I'm currently making a new character. 1:2 and i'll be using bow
Is this build worth making? How's the dmg in higher lvls?
And what imbue should i choose: Lighting or Fire?
All advices are welcome... ^^

you can better make a 2:1, or pure str bow build

I myself use lightning imbue, not much of a difference with fire but speed is very important when using a bow in PvP. But that's up to you, you can also take fire and lightning.

Dunno... I've heard bad thing about 2:1 bow. And i don't like pure str - low dmg

I've chosen light imbue ^^

Read my post on the last page. Read the whole thing if you have a few hours.

Oh and any kind of hybrid for bow works, I just wouldn't recomend anything more int than a 70:70 mag balance.
I 1 hit a pure int bow with my strong bow non crit.

Oh and for skills, it all depends on if you are going to farm. The bare minimum would be 80bow, 80light.

You need the mag increase from light as well as grass walk.

If you have a little more sp, then go same as above with 32 fire for fire shield and phys increase buff and passive.

Though some people would disagree and say go fire for imbue and light as a sub tree.

Pretty sure I could 1 hit a int bower with anti devil non crit.

Pure STR bow or fail.
