what's the best SINGLE mastery to go for for a chiense bow build thief?

fire ice or lit?

why?

Fire...
It has the most powerful Embro, mag defence and phy increase

thats what ive got going now... wasnt sure if i should change that, but it seems good to me, i'll keep the character... THANKS! you saved me from starting all over hahaa

Lol np

actually, i believe ice is best, because the freeze/frostbite will help you kill the mob/person before it/he can even get to you.

demands on type of build.

look in the guide section, for chinese force tree guide

i just un-deleted my bow character... it's pure STR no second mastery chosen yet... i'm still open to suggestions...im playing until 150 cap, so it's gotta be one mastery... that's why I hear fire is best for long term, ice is good short term until the cap raises i think...i dunno which to pick, lit is magical so def not lit and force wont help me... so it's eitehr fire or ice... im a thief... i dunno which i should pick

u think EVERYONE is going to be immune to ice? because being a thief ice would definitely come in handy... what do you guys think?

70:70 bow ice immune lightning sub.

y not full stR? i dun tink full str is great for bow.unlike other characters they depend on combos and has defensive spell bow does not have defensive spell and hybird is the best im a full str bow and now im gonna change to either blader or glavie since hybird bow using ice will pwn fire bow since both of them tank.

ice is still the best for bow no matter what happens.and fire is already the wrong build for it.
If u notice why undutchable change from full str fire bow to full str fire glavie. Hybird will just pwn them all.

If you plan on staying pure STR then fire for max damage, or light for max agility.

If you are going hybrid then fire is less important because the physical increase buff will have less effect, the light increase buff will have more effect and the snow shield will be effective at a higher level.

I suggest you rethink only 2 masteries. If you plan on playing legit it will take you forever to reach high enough level to have masteries become an issue.

and if u dun wish to farm a lot just get lightning pure str bow. but still i dun tink the magical buff help u a lot.

with the euro update, hybrid ice archers with fire/light passives is proving to be the most effective chinese archer build.

pure str archers are also slowly going out of fashion. archers needs to go hybrid to get a decent mana pool for 40% mana shield.
