At 100 cap it's annoying as fck.

Constant Arrow combo KBs.

Combined with Stun from Strongbow?
Secks.

IMO, there are two (maybe a third, SP-friendlier) options:
1) Classical fire-light build:
90 fire
90 pacheon
90 light
30 cold

2) Force bow:
90 fire
90 pacheon
90 force
30 cold

3) SP-friendly fire-light-ice:
90 fire
90 pacheon
60 light
60 cold.

EDIT: I'd like to mention something else too. Some people take 90 ice for their STR builds (there are quite a lot of glaivers with 90 ice). IMO, 90 ice isn't important for a bow, because bowers have KB arrow, if they're in trouble :)

I heard that the force bower's crits are incredible. Watching the videos on youtube they are pretty cool, but i know light is hard not to have especially grass walk...

If u want force I would do 90pach/90LIGHT/90force/30ice cause imo light buffs are more important than the extra damage fire provides. The bad thing is that u will loose lots of magical defense so u will hav to wear garment.

So the best would be 90 light/pach/force and 30 ice?
would 90 light/pach and 60 ice/force be any good?
Thanks everyone, im open to all builds not just bower
im currently farming at 16 (N) so i have ages to decide.
it has to be str or hybrid though, all points have been
put towards str already. would blader be able to pvp
better than bower? i will be able to afford reasonable gear.
not absolutely insane but better than average probly.
thank you :) ive kinda always like bladers but never had
a high level one.

If u want force u hav to max so 90pach/90light/60ice/60force is not a very good option, 90pach/90force/90light/30ice would be better for a hybrid bow (80-85% str heavy), and 90pach/90fire/90force/30 ice would be better for pure str.

Yeah but light is also important. If someone gets close i can kb and phantom then stun and such. I used to have str bower and always use phantom walk when people were close. So maybe for pure str maxed fire light and pch is best then?

I really just wanna know the best chinese build for pvp. thanks :)
