I want to know which the better one is at next cap (lvl 100)
What are the pro's and con's of the build and how they are doing in jobbing, CTF etc.
Please not reply with blader FTW or bow FTW becuase i want to know why.
And which build? with or without force? hybrid or str?

Also screenshots of high lvl blader/bow are allowed, just one to see which one is smexy!

thanks

Go with bow. It's easier to lvl and at lvl 90+ish theres a sweet new bow move that looks incredibly smexy :twisted:

thanks for replys, but i got some questions.

if you are a force bow and you put the debuffs on your enemy, you can take them off with pills? so force will not be a good choise? and with blader if you just put bleed, imponent and divison then you using a pill and then he needs to wait 20 sec and then put the debuffs on him? Screenies are accepted :P

well bladers at 100 cap will be good as usualy. hard to kill and decent damage. bow at 100 cap is in my opinion going to be one of the best builds at 100 cap. bows have huge crits gonna get another knockback skill so pretty much infinite knock back with stuns and ranged. dont forget 1 sec pot delay. the only build i can think of that can be of challenge is a rogue. i dont know what they get at 100 cap but im sure they will be a good fight if played right. so atm bow > blader. even though im a blader i wouldnt mind a bow at 100 cap. =D

pot pvping a blader = kb kb kb kb, kd kd kd, kb kb kb stab stab kd stab 11kb stun 11kb kd stab... endless.

There are heaps of 10d archers in KSRO, why, because they get really strong. Though I'd rather play my Warrior and my Glaiver :P

Bow. Ranged + KB is always a better offense.

bladers can take on mobs phys. mobs 5-7 lvls above themselves if they are full str and armor easily, and can tank a few
bowers can only take on single mobs 2-4 lvls above themselves by doing so

so bladers do not necessarily lvl slower, just depends where you choose to lvl

bladers get dull , fear , stun at 100 cap chain, with the bleed, division, and impotent that at 90 already. the stabs have crit increase and with shield pd buff with constant staus its gonns hurt. bowers do get cool skills but i would go with a blader. only lvling a blade is lots of work.

but it still stays an offensive support build, since they cannot tank much without going down

however, they can hit very hard and stay alive if they stay in the background and out of range

that is where phantom come step in the field, and also the reason why a lot of bowers go for light instead of force.
Either one is pretty good, but depend on the user if u like tanking go blader, bow is a killer with its crit (bow gonna be sick at cap 100 :roll: )

for the ultimate smexyiness i think that a dual weapon with bow/blader would be awesome
you could start out with bow and when oppenent gets close switch to blade and get bleed, division, and dull on him, then switch back to bow, kb and kill, or something like that, i guess with such a build you could either go with fire 100 or cold 100
Best of all is that you would be pretty unique and no one would know how to fight u in pvp :p

i think that would be pretty lame might be good cuz of the weapon switch but it be better to have 2 force masteries then 2 weapon ones...

for the passives n the buffs ofcourse :)

You are forgetting that Bladers lack AoE offensive power compared to Bows.

Offensively, I think they both are good, though bow offers more interruption chances (30% kb 6 & 5x each)

Whereas bladers get dull, fear, and stun added onto bleed, impotent, and division (all 20% chance of success)

Cleric sub or those expensive pills are the only way to "remove" the statuses.
I think that force is only good if you take it all the way.

I didn't quite get what you were asking for on the bleed, impotent, division thing, though.
