guys, im deciding to create a bow char (china). I've been reading many threads on bow builds but can't really narrow anything down to something good. Can someone suggest a good build for lvl 90, or 80, it would really be appreciated.

thanks

I would say pure Str, high hp, high crits, good phys defense.

90 pacheon
90 fire(imbue)
90 light
30 ice (20% manashield helps a lot)

329 more hp is almost nothing to make a difference.

80:

80 Fire, 80 Pacheon, 70 Light, and 70 Cold.

90:

90 Fire, 90 Pacheon, 60 Light, and 60 Cold.

85+ str hybrid with 90 pach/90light/90force/30ice. The extra int will make up for the imbue damage and light will increase ur parry ratio, moving speed, magical attack, and ghost walk. Force debuffs will make u crit as hard or harder than pure str, u can res, u can cure other peoples debuffs with out expensive pill or holy word, and one of the force debuffs lower ur opponents attack power. 30 will let u use 25% snow shield. Also, this build is an awesome power lvlr

My plan:
80:
80 Heuskal
80 Light
80 Fire
60 Ice

90:
90 Heuskal
90 Light (Or force)
90 Fire
60 Ice (If force then light 30)

The first debuff is useless. When it comes to force you either go high or go home.

I like the Idea of HYB force sounds nice, drop the fire light is what you want.

90 Pach
90 Fire

so if u think ull be playing by 100 cap (prolly 6months - 1 year) dont lvl ice to 30 so later on u dont have to go through curst hearts or get silk for skill reallocation thing :D

If you're planning for 80 cap then..

80 pach
80 fire
70 ice
70 light

is so godly.

90 cap...

90 pach
90 fire
90 ice
30 light

godly in a sense that you can outank the other chinese player. Sure they can run around and stuff but they're not gonna kill you that way unless they call for back up.

What do you think is better the 16 points phy def from cold at 30 or the 329 hp from heksuel at 30 for a pur str bow?

Cold is much better. The 16 phy defense is anything special. Your specialty from 30 ice will be the 20% snow shield. A pure str with 20% snow shield is ownage because they can handle it at 80 cap to some extant and at 90 cap it is even easier.

How much MP is enough to use snow shield? From the feedback I got here it kills mp way to fast viewtopic.php?f=4&t=86547

20-23% snow shield for a pure str is fine. Just use XL mp pots at 80 and 90 and set your mp auto pot to 80%.
Having 8-9k mp at 80 cap with XL mp pots does not kill your mp. You gain more mp faster than you lose.

Will Pure str force 90 Fire 90 Cold 30 be good for 90 cap? Also is Hybrid or str Hybrid better? I thought about makeing A hybrid str Light 90 Force 90 cold 30 kinda like Mrfudges build.

It works. Hybrid bow isn't bad at all.
