i am currently playing a glavie and bow
both are tons o fun to play
yet i would like to know at 90 which is better
like which can kill more uniques and good at pvp
also which is faster to lvl and less sp
when you choose which i should play, can you make a quick build for it?

search for the questions and you will easily get answered by tons of topics, also it just depends, look to the looks of skills, the looks of weapons/gear, and whats your favo, range or close attacks, and make a choice with that.

HMM that depends of what you like: Big dmg + HIGH Hp + KB and Stun from early levels(Glavie)...Or Good dmg + range + insane criticals(Bow)...And now I am trying to answer your questions...For lvling and killing uniques, definitely the BOW is better...Why? because it has range and can easely kill mobs before they reach it, and his crits make the diference at uniques..As for the pvp, there is no one better, depends only of how the players know to play their chars..Glavier has extra life and a bit more dmg, but the bow has range and crits, who makes diference:)..and by the way, Bow dont need as much sp as Glavie...

So lets see who`s better: Lvling(bow), Killing uniques(Bow), Lower used sp`s(Bow), Pvp(Both the same)...So my opinion is that you should choose bow...I have an lvl 68 bow, and I tell you, at higher lvls is even more fun and powerfull char..Good luck, and please post back a message saying witch of these chars(bow or glavie) have you chosen.

Glavie is the most versatile
Bow is the most tactical

bow has more skills but not all are needed. as for glaive, limited skills and theres only like 3 you need thats why the sp costs is lower.

screw glaive. Makes me so bored =S

I wana make a chinese archer 90 fire bow 60 light cold. They're always fun in pvp and mind bow makes grinding easier. Prob gonna try and get one farmed up at ongs by some friends ^^
Glaive is strong at cap but bow is more fun. Bow will win if you get some crits too :P

Wrong if You max all skills in Pacheon and then Max all skills in Heuksai, Heuksai costs about 30K+ more sp than Pacheon. Now if You are talking about the minimum skills for both yeah Pacheon cost more sp.

go bow less sp lvls faster, gets tons of knock back arrow combos, high dmg and hit the uniques with out aoeing or putting themselves in the middle of the spawns, glaive is boring as all get out to me, bow also gets the sweet hawk summons (ok they aren't that powerful but just having a hawk is cool to me) for every requirement you asked bow is better

lol only thing that bothers me about bows is all the inventory space that gets taken up, and the fact you have no quiver and just pull your arm back to shoot and arrows materialize after you release, there should be a quiver on your back

I screwed up my Bower. When I first started playing, I put my SP into every mastery. Boy, is it screwed up bad... :( I'll probably end up remaking a bower and just give the gear that I have on my current one (only level 26 so not much of a biggy) to the new bower.

anti devil bow, arrow combo, devil arrow, phoenix soul arrow, strong bow and mind bow series.... autum isnt necesary but if you want you can take it, and pasive series too

in glavie just need, soul spear emperor, ghost spear. windless spear pasive and dragon fly ,pasive too and the snake strom xD. you can stop the wind less and just use. ghost spear.soul spear and fly dragon:)
