Will it do? (100 cap PvE bow build)

Post by Kubus »

First of all i'm a csro player, that means:
- no fortress war
- not much jobbing
- 100 cap

I plan to make a pure PvE build as csro is now much more PvE oriented.
The aim is to be able to grind in the new tomb, especially on mobs which are a couple levels highier than me.

Back to the build, i want to be an archer, whats more I'm crazy about using cold imbue, so obviously cold is a must. As i took cold for a main I'll go hybrid (70:70 naked). To briefly sum up: pacheon 100 cold 100. Thats where the problem starts. I've read mike's ultimate bow guide, and thought it would be cool to take force (now bow100 cold100 force100 - sounds pathetic, doesn't it?).

Here is where i need your help, what should i take for a third tree, as the first 2 are already set (please don't write things like: "idiot go fire blah blah.."). How about light since i'm a hybrid? And if it really is fire tell me why(i'm 70:70).

Or maybe force.. who knows.. hope you do.

Regards

For grinding in cave , since its really really big , you could use some lightning for speed :)

I'm 70:70 hybrid bower too. Up till now at lvl 7x, ice works like a gem. I plan to take 90 Bow, 90 Ice, 90 Light.

I'd prefer light for

1. the extra speed
2. Piercing force & concentration (to boost the ice imbue damage)

I don't think I'll need fire (unless you count the 30 Fire for 3-4% passive damage?) Even that can be compensated by Item Mall + Prem Plus ticket.

as a hybrid 70:70 I'd say this
100 bow
100 ice (wouldn't max snowshield leave it at like 40%)
I'd take 100 light for mag damage increase (18% is it?) speed and phantom. Make you a much better unique killer
Parry ratio buff is nice too.
fire only gives a small phys damage increase which is much less important than the light increase as a hybrid. also you dont need the mag defense buff as much since you are hybrid.
going prot i would assume?'
