are they any good at all

Full str Pacheon is nice for PVE not so nice for PVP.
(No offence to pacheons on the pvp point but it is pretty true)

Easy to get unique kills etc.

Its an awsome build if u wanna go for force (e.g. harmony circles, ressing)
As you dont reallllyyy need all 3 of fire ice and light.
You allso dont need to farm as much as archer.

Sooooo its good but not if you plan to "be the best"

personally - just for farming - as long as you have sos bow.

right now

i'm changing from a hybrid 2700 hp and 1800 mp bow into blader cuz bows suck at pvp and with blader- u get shield and if br is high - then ur most likely good.

my one char, (not WOLFRAMM) has an som lvl 32 +3 blade and a lvl 32 shield +3 with br 14 so yea... he can kill up to like lvl 37-38 - one time alvl 42 bow. that goes to show how strong some bladers can be.

but yea
my pacheon lvl = 32
blade lvl = 29

so deleveling sucks but ...

defintely go with blade!

good luck!

Oh andddd to add to what i said, aparently there will be new skills (already on ksro) for pacheon i hear theres going to be a knock back attack.

Could be nice and even out the pvp thing a bit ?? have to wait and see (on isro )

ya... ksro is always ahead of isro - lucky for .pk2.... when that came around..

is it easy to us a bowman at low lvls or is better to go blader

Pro with bows: Great support character in guild wars. distracts the enemy/helps guild member get the kill.

Good for unuique hunting(stands far enough away that does not get attacked)

Levels faster than blade.

Cons:
No disabling move like knock back stun knock down.
only slightly more damage then a bladder or sword, but without the defense of the shield.

Distance doesn't help in 1 vs 1 fighting, if your oponent has fantom.


I don't think the new skills have been applied to ksro yet, I think it was only a beta server or something. Might be wrong though.
Either way it will be atleast a year till they come out.

bow is amazing for unique hunting, as stated before you shoot from so far away that even if you are doing the most damage - the unique doesnt come after you.

its like it doesnt even know youre then, then you get the kill

pvp is good if you have amazing gear, but that goes for all builds really lol.

pve is prob best ive seen. btw the hits are higher than blade but weaker than glaive, but if you crit it hits harder than any build.

<3 crit 30 increase.

they might be at 90 cap

dont listen to those guys...just do what you wanna do, as long as you have fun.

The bow skills really do rock but you'll need all of them with one exception (autumn wind series). they are right that bowers arent that great in pvp unless you have a SoX bow or +7 or both =P

@shooty: sure a blader is strong...when he has a 32+3 SoM blade >.> try the same people with a +3 or +5 blade and you wont be able to take them down
