Hi,

unfortunately i read all that stuff about sp-farming and pure int/str too late, so now my char is at:

lvl 27
str 93
int 82
Ice lvl 25
Bow Mastery lvl 27 [I know its bad for sp-farming:(]
Wearing Garment

I now know all this isnt what you can call efficient but i dont like the idea of just breaking up with that char, so could someone please give me some tips of how to continue the best way?

I thought about reaching 2:1 str:int ratio until about lvl 40 and start sp-farming now...

will I still have fun playing that way, or should i just create a new character? I'd be thankful for explained opinions and tips.

There is a guide on hybrids.. But they say that it really sucks..

yeah i read it....

so, you say: new char, but could you maybe explain? I dont know how it is to be high level and what exactly sucks, cause atm i still enjoy playing with these values....

kitary wrote:it all about ballance ,
a hybrid bow has good mag and phy damage from his/her bow
but ballance cuts this down ,
sinds spears , and glaives do better and shield users have block and more defence , you as a hybrid would lose out in damage penetration

a full str bow gets 100% ( or more) phy ballance , and thus maxes out all the phy damage he dus , if he crits this will be dubble
he would lose out on mag damage , but he will make up for it in phy damage

a hybrid bow would just lose damage to ballance , and to enemy defence , he would make up with it in the form of a lil extra mag damage from imbue , but at high lvl this will just bounce off on people's defence
so its not realy a advantage damage wize in pvp , pvm it dunst realy matter much tho


and skill wize , all the bow skills are phy oriantated , and pacheon has some nasty high lvl phy damaging skills , like the exploding arrow series , strong bow and the anti devil bow series , if you cut down on phy damage these would lose mayor effect , and you will not realy gain to much from doing so
you dont have block and the extra defence of a good shield , you dont have the damage of a int spear , so youl lose out at higher lvl's

int bows can be done , but thay are ever so fragil and realy hard to play for some people , making str the favorite , and str bows are not bad at all ,
perfect build for the less experianced bowers , and perfect for the killing pro's , big life , big damage , range , wat more you need ^^

and str bows are the scurge of int players in my opinion
thay have moves that fire faster than nukes , and have the dreaded arrow combo's , combined with a good critt bow and the fact that bows have more range than nukes thay make exelent int killers

hehehe yeah rant over now ..

She said it all...

jees, i've been playing for a while now, but still i'm getting maybe half of what is posted here ^^

but what i got is that hybrids really seem to suck and i guess im gonna go for a new char.

thx kitary, i think that talk about balance was helpful for me, though i dont get it completely yet.... but i hope time will tell =) whose guide would you recommend? there are quite a lot...

thx for your help kitary, nice there are people who like to help. thx to you too kuling, although you could probably write(!) more than you did

Yeah, that's my problem too, I don't really have enough patience to write a long post..
