str bow vs str blader

[Feataler]

I wanna make either a str bow or str blader, but I dunno which one is the best. I'm going for lvl 57. Which one is best overall, best PvE and best PvP at lvl 47 - 57?

[salmissra]

i say go with str bow. cuz i like it xD. lol but seriously str blader is strong and good defense but takes too long to kill imo. the chains are flashy but don't pack a strong punch. pure str bow has a good attack and high crit rate. and i've also seen how later on, ur arrow combos have knockback.

pure blade = high def if you have a good shield, ok attack (depends on ur blade)
pure bow = good attack, high crits, long range, (knockback later on).

but this is just my opinion, i dont have a high lvl blade char so don't flame me bladers!

[destructionmama]

depends on if you like "close and personal encounter" or "back off get your own sandwich"

both are really fun and are predicted to be really strong at 90 cap

If youre going for 57 and want to stay there for a while go bow.

Bladers get strong @ cap, when they have the chains that give you statusses. Before that, they are just awesome tanking machines IMO.

I never fight bladers alone, we just mob them at the end of a war and then kill them.

Well, Bow's better at PvE, but we all know that bladers are awesome tanks...so they have an advantage over Bow for PvP, but they have a hard time killing other builds, especially before they get the status effects from lightning chain and smashing series in their 7x.

I just don't bother fighting Bladers alone...they can't kill me normally, and I can't kill them...so I just walk away and save my money on pots lol...

str blader is better at pvp then bow becasue they have fast attake speed and there tanks

[noobert mclagg]

depends on if you like "close and personal encounter" or "back off get your own sandwich"

blade is better and a lot more fun in pvp

i would say Blader as im one and i hade a BOW they get boring blader is fun the combos and the KD's

bladders r hawt

Gonna have to go Bow on this one.

My reasoning:

1. The Bow crits ofr an insane amount of damage at higher levels. This is because the BOw has a skill that increases their Critical hit chances/ration. This means on average, more crtical hits than say a blader, which will mean higher damage, which can give you a nice win in pvp. Of course, you must factor in the critical hit percentage of your weapons, but the bow has an advantage over the blade.

2. The BOw recently got a nice gem of a skill that features knockback. A blader must get close to you if he wants to do efficient damage on you.

3. Range benefits make the Bow a massive contender in PvP. Combined with the knockback skill and a skillful use of Ghost walk, you can outmanuever your blader opponent, while delievering massive damage with a nice amount of Criticals.

A Blader however does have their advantages. In pvp, the Blader has amazing staying power (ungodly hard to kill). COmbined with their knockdown+stab combinations, this can spell death for a bower. Howover, the Bow has range and higher/more frequent critical hits.

Ultimately its up to you, but I would give it careful thought before you choose.

Basically You can't go wrong with any of the two.


How many times am i going to say this:

STR BLADERS FTW

i would say Blader as im one and i hade a BOW they get boring blader is fun the combos and the KD's

So, you say that the blader does always a different combo's? No he doenst, he always dances the same silly dance. Same with the KD, yeah the blade attacks might look smeksy, but honestly they get boring also. Every build just repeats the few attacks they have.

It is just a thing of youre own playing style, in the middle of the war zone tanking and dealing damage? Or running around it, critting the basterds to death

i've said it before and i'll say it again, people say using this build or that build gets boring because you use the same skills over and over. but in all honesty what build doesn't?
but back on topic str bladers really do rock, but ultimately it will depend on your preferred playing style.

He said the exact same thing lol

At 47-57 a Blader would be better in PvP, but for PvE I would have to say Bow. Bows don't shine in PvP until like 72+ so if you don't plan on going there, then be a blade (Blades shine at higher lvls as well). But if you want to grind to the top fast, and have a great PvP character and PvE character I would say bow (not that bladers aren't good, I just hate slow lvling ).

which is why i quoted him XD srry if i forgot the +1 lol
