HP
Pure STR bow > STR hybrid bow > 70:70 bow

Crit damage
Pure STR bow > STR hybrid bow > 70:70 bow

Damage without crits
70:70 bow > STR hybrid bow > Pure STR bow

We are yet to see which bow build is the best.

that pretty much answered my question, thank you

[pandemonaeon]

hmm i see he's str hybrid, is he 2:1 str? or.. neway i might start over, str hyb, they look cool. wut ya say full str or str hyb, im a strong believer that silkroad was meant to be hybrid, not just pure builds, if it was meant for pure builds there would be races, pure str or pure int, or maybe a hybrid race, so my vote is with the hyb but who knoes =P

regardless of the type of build you are as a bowman, str hybrid or pure str, you will need crits to kill.

yea str hybrid crits as hard as full str, but the 4k HP cut sucks.

Thats point isnt proven yet . Actually Im almost sure that Undutchable 70:70 will get the highest damage with his sun bow and premium ticket and I want to give a good fight myself .

[UnDutchable]

hehe well i will certainly compete in 'highest dmg contest' cuz i think i migt have a good chance to break the record Cuz my crits are also pretty nice now... i normal hit 10k, and sometimes is crit 11k, sometimes 13k, and sometimes also 17k....so if i got the right crit at the right time at the manyang fields....i might have a chance altho....the record of 128k(correct me if im wrong) is pretty nice!

Oh and btw... Bow isnt bad in pvp....it was just a stupid saying(prolly from noobs that never came further than lv 20).
But ehh wich bowbuild is the best? i really have no idea...i like pure str of the godlike crits and the nice tank ability, i like 70:70 cuz of the high average dmg, and the 'normal-nice' crits. And the hybrid str..is in between i think .
But why do ppl say that hybrid str crits as hard? example:
Pure str:______-Normal: 5k_____-Crit: 10k
Hybrid str:_____Normal: 6k______Crit: 10k
70:70:________Normal: 7k______Crit 10k
Its never proved that its like this...but this is what im thinking....so the crits comes up on the same dmg, but the pure str have the highest dmg increase in a crit

if you look at the damage contest, the difference between pure str and str hybrids are figurally not really notice able...

[[TS]=Hark=[TS]]

have you played with a pure int with snow shield at max before? 50% abosorb ?

can you say... no kd, kb, stun, or any sort of defence what so ever?

yes you get kb and stun at later lvls but its at liek lvl 73.

[Lance]

[pandemonaeon]
