Should I add nukes if I'm a 70:70 bow (int hybrid if I'm not mistaken)?

Are they damaging enough that I could assimilate them into my grinding routine?

I don't think that Nukes and Bow make a good combo, because bow has Phy attack of a spear and mag attack of a glavie (obvious that all of the same lv )

Also 70:70 is almost like a 1:1 char, the main difference is that 70:70 has more mp, but I think that are not enough to be a good nuker.

Actually, 70:70 is closest to 2:1 Int Hybrid.

If you want to nuke go spear. No point in having 2 ranged attacks except for fun.

Int bow here ... and I mostly use nukes on giants and for jobs. Just for regular grinding the bow skills are better (unless I run out of arrows or get bored ... and then I nuke also).

So my guess would be that you don't need to add nukes ... a rotation of strong bow, anti devil, and multi arrow skills should work just fine.

You can add nukes at any time for fun and variety.

personally i never do strong bow unless i get a quick jump on someone jobbing.

that skill takes way too long right now and slows down grinding.

You did look at my posts in the 70:70 noob build thread didn't you?

Lol, yes, in fact I did, I think you said something about using lit nukes for the AoE damage.

If you look at the last page I have posted my grinding routine, and the average damage of my skills. Obviously my damage may be different from yours but the difference between skills should stay the same.

I guess then the strength of the lit nuke is comparable to that of Anti Devil.

Also on a side note here, I have 30 fire/lit, with all fire imbue, but haven't added any in lit imbue. Should I stop leveling fire, and go to cold as the new mana shield skill is going to come out?

I would wait for the new skills to come out, who knows the mana shield might suck.

Maybe you could continue as you are and just don't fill in any buffs in the fire tree, so you could delevel it easily if you need to.

Some people say that fire imbue is a lot stronger, others say it doesn't matter very much. I have never had it so I can't say. I can tell you that the difference between light and ice doesn't matter much at my level. Though higher the level the bigger the difference most likely.

I think both strong bow and a nuke take 4 seconds to execute.

Not worth it, the medium magical damage and the fact that you'll hit higher with other bow skills at around the same time is a minus for nukes.

Mr Fudge. Strong bow does not slow down grinding if it allows you to use less skills to kill the mob.

Strong bow takes longer to execute then a lightning nuke, and I think longer than any nuke. (.5-1sec longer).

Shadowman, you didn't read my link above. It is not a mandatory skill, but a light nuke hits harder then antidevil. It is useful and worth it if you are maxing the lightning tree. Fire nuke book 2 might also be superior to autumn wind.
