Hey i was wondering which build i should take for a Bowman? I was gonna go Full Str but then someone said " No 70:70 is better than Full Str" so then i was thinking on going to 70:70 but i dont know how to do a 70:70 or which stats to add to make it 70:70? Can someone explain about which is better Full Str or 70:70? and if its 70:70 which stats i should put. Oh and one more thing i dont know what to wear protector or garment? Im trying to build a light and ice bowman i guess...

age old debate. you won't get a clear cut answer. But use these 2 questions as your guideline to pick the build.

do you have lots of gold to burn? go 70:70 bow

are you a poorass? go pure str bow

edit: whoops, didn't see the second part ^^

well, for the stats of 70:70 bow, every time you level up, you will go naked and add str or int stat points so that your phys and mag balance is close to 70% each. you'll get 70% phys and 69% mag or vice versa. so just lvl and add stat points accordingly.

So what should i wear if i go Full STR or 70:70?

full str i say go garms and 70:70 would go prot.

Hmm okay i might go Full Str becuase i dont have that much money and im working on buying a SOS bow so i could farm... but i dont know how to get the money Like how do i waste more money on a 70:70?

you don't waste more money on a 70:70 bow. You need more money for fully blued gear to get to 80:80 balance at the end game. therefore u need more money.

oh... Well okay im gonna go full STR i guess but is it okay if i use pro? Some people say pro is kinda good. Im making a ice/light build is that good? If you say that i need fire well...Im too lazy to get Fire

if your gonna go pure str bow, then you need fire. Fire has teh phys dmg buff and phys dmg passive. (you don't NEED firewall, but how u use it is up to you) Fire is essential to any str build so its unwise to not get fire. Ice however in a str build is not as vital and can be skipped.

So i should get fire instead of ice? This is really confusing.. many people say ice and other say fire... I was hoping to get ice Alot of people are going for ice aren't they?

If you plan on an ice bower and you are going to use mana shield you should go 70:70 with protectors

There are some exceptions but still...

Hmm i guess i could go 70:70 since i wont even make it to high lvls If i choose ice will i still have to add to fire?

Then again. it's up to you, depending on what you want out of your build.

Well before i made this topic i was gonna go Full STR with light/ice and wear a garm maybe? Is that a okay build? Because after i started asking people they kept changing my mind So is that okay/normal build? or a bad one? Oh and did someone did this build before?
