alright here's the low down.
I have enough sp to max out one of these books right now..
and i might farm later to get the other.
Which one would be the best to take?
Mind_Bow:
-uses less mp
-attacks 4 monsters for the last book
Autumn_Wind_Arrow
-looks a lot stronger
-only attacks three
which one should i take??

LOL, don't just say autumn wind sucks LOL tell him a reason
Ok I would take mind bow, because what are the chances of 3 mobs comming at you in a line?
mind bow goes everywhere, I don't recommanded it for grinding because you would want to take down one mob at a time to minimize damage taken
but its definitly worth it for jobbing, exspecially when you are doing multi star stuff.
if you don't have the sp I remmand getting mind bow first, the damage done by autumn wind does not justify the sp it cost imho

WRONG WRONG AND WRONG... Autumn Wind is stronger than Anti Devil Series therefore you can actually use it in Pvp's and Pve more often than you use Mind Bow if you going to use Mind bow you also need nova series and a couple of other things to make it and effective grinding tool.
here is what you will need to grind with mind bow, altho hes right its a good jobbing tool, it can also accidently drag in mobs you dont want

If u are int bow, choosing mind bow means choosing death
Otherwise, mind bow is better coz multiplier/charge time is higher.
Autumn wind 250% for 2.5s
Mind bow 187% for 1s

autumm wind is stronger then anti devil maxed, at least it was before the update. I actually deleveld autumm wind to get enough sp to get the last book of strong bow.
However I plan to max it again when I get enough sp, if you have to choose between those books just watch youre play style. Are you a hunter who is helping lower guildies a lot? Then pick mind bow. Same goes for thief, if you are a thief and helping youre thiefing friends who are lower go mind bow. Basically with the cast time of strong bow being so much shorter you now got 3 decent damage doing attacks you can use in pvp. Devil arrow, strong bow and anti devil, use a combo to bridge the time when the others are still being recharged. So for that purpose you dont really need to get the autumm wind. For grinding purposes it might be handy seeing as it does more damage then anti devil if that one doesnt crit.

Mind Bow is completely awesome for jobbing as a hunter. It is my favorite bow skill for that by FAR.

Hmm, a lil something about me that might help out. ^^
alright ermm i'm a pure str bowman
i DO do jobs but this is how i roll,
we have 5 members (2 level 80's, 2 low 40's(me), and a level 50)
so yeah the 2 40's are on the camels the whole time
while the 2 level 80's take on all the npc and player thieves
so yeah.. i'm not doing and attacking.. =X
so yeah which would be better to like.. hunt uniques?
i can see both of them helping out a lot w/ downing the mobs
but which would help even more than the other??
