Can anyone suggest a good Bow Build please?

Theres been so many Topics about which Bow Build is the best...but no ones really come to a conclusion.

Ive recently started an Bowman, but im still unsure of what Build to make it.

Thanks

Bowers are very good at PVE
Bowers are very bad at PVP

Full str is best since you crit highest then.

Pacheon all the way, Fire all the way, and then a mixture between ice and light ( light at least 52 for the speed buff )

There hasnt been a conclusion, because like every other build, there is no best. It all depends on your playing style. If your set on bow:

The best for Damage (crits included):
94-98% Str (with gear)
Pure Str
1:1
70:70
Heavy Int

The best for survivability:
Pure Str
94-98% str (with gear)
1:1
70:70
Heavy Int

All IMO of course.

Pure str.

I have never been bad at pvp~

bowers are deffinately not bad at pvp, they can be, but its not guarenteed. it all depends on how good the player is at playing that class and how good their weapon/armour is.

DarkJackal is totally awesome at pvp ... another legendary str bow is hellsharpt. But bows do take lots of skill to play.

And a bit off topic ... I know there are plenty of run of the mill botting bowers out there, especially at the lower levels. All of us have seen them and many are gold bots. But maybe because a bow is hard to play, for a person to actually be any good at using a bow they need to be legit so that they have the practice of using it because knowing the timing and distances you have to work with is important? Just a thought ...

im legendary hehe.
jk, only lvl 59 but ill get there.

anyway i own at pvp. only ones that can beat me are INT S/S with castle shield unless i run away until castle shield is over.

full int spear = 1 hit kill
int hybrd spear = 2-3 hit kill.
blader= cant kill unless they really suk and dont use knock down. pot battle.
glaive= takes forever to kill cuz of stun, if they dont stun knockback and i get 4-5 hits in they die.

as said before S/s INT with castle shield can beat me if they catch up cuz my attacks dont do s*it against that castle shield.

Get a good shield and have it always w¡th you. When s/s cast castle shield switch to shield, then you can choose between phantom to save some hits or tank his nukes. With shield just sosun swords can kill me now .

I love it how there are still tons of people around that underestimate bowers. Especially cocky str fire glaviers my level that think they can just kill me and wont believe I am only 74 when they are lying dead on the floor. ^^
