ok well im a pure int bow with no sp ticket
im planning to only get anti devil, str bow spirit, lightning imbue and lightning nuke. Dont tell me to get too many skills cause i dont wanna farm
whats your suggestions?

In my experience Pure INT bow isn't that good. It's like using a blade instead of sword when Pure Int bicheon. You may survive longer due to the KB, but damage wise is better off using a s/s. A pure INT sear usually goes for the added HP of heuksal tree, a s/s has a chance to block, but a bow doesn't give any means of surviving till way later. But if your going for it, I'd stick with raising up cold tree for the phys buff, passive and snow shield. Not too many skills, but you will even need to farm if you raise only one tree because this game is hungry for SP.

what he said. i had a inthybrid bow char once, it was strong (i had sos bow) but weak in defense. but IT'S UP TO YOU.

so your saying you only want 4 skills o.O? that is NOT a good idea imo.
should get more of the bower skills, like the range, hawk...and probably the snow shield to help you survive longer. and you sure you'll do ok without grass walk?

oh and since ur defense is gonna be so low, probably should wear armor.

berserker arrow and the combo arrows ar good to have too

pure int bow is phail on so many levels... I had one. It's now my murder char, lol

its the best grinder/ unique killer (apart fr rogue/wiz)
other than that, vulnerable in pvp, but its good to hv in group fights as the dmg dealer + KB disruptor

full int bow is relatively good dmg dealer but its kinda like a s/s wihtout shield but stronger nukes


just gotta pray u KB and stun frequently

Requires ice to be high lvl. Making Fire or Light have to be low lvl =/

imo you should switch to spear or sword

hey ... you are only going for 2 skill trees. bow is a bad choice for a pure int.

perhaps for the same amt of sp, get spear with the spear HP passive only and perhaps lvl 1 of ghost spear together with your light stuffs that you planned to live on.

or ... get sword instead for the block passive and lvl 1 of soul cut.

bow ... just cannot make it in this manner. it's not impossible, but will be a rougher ride that taking spear or sword.

I was 100% int bow till lvl 50 I am still almost pure int at lvl 65. The most important skills to me are Strong bow Vision, Anti devil bow, Poison fire force, and then cold buffs but be prepared to die a lot even with SOS armor you will still die but you can hit a lot harder than a str bow.

bow skills got quite a few crit bonus. crit is phy attack. and kinda waste for a low phy balance build to be maxing such crit bonus attacks, like anti-devil.

im not really gonna make a pure int bow
it was just a idea and apparantly it was a bad one

the nice thing about silkroad and other games like it is you can try what you want to so don't say it is a bad idea until you have tried it. I have played many different builds that people say are the best but I still prefer my int bow
