I didn't write about Force because I've never had a high level Force char so I don't really know how the build works.


I know and that's a shame =p haha ^_^ I got a force bower ;)

A friend is using my char atm so I can't get on it, I can give you the skills you need though.

It's ordered like this:
Self heal
This is a waste, it heals less than targeted, which you can use on yourself, so don't bother getting this one.
Stat heal (debuffs and burn etc ofcourse)
A must, the Area is easier too use since you don't have to target yourself but it has a big cooldown and casts slower.
Area stat heal
Also a must, it heals 2 random stats from you and your pt members
Target heal
Max this if you have the sp for it, if not, don't bother. The healing animation looks sexy but the last two books transfers heal to the closest person, so if you're pvping someone it will heal that person too.
Res
Max if you have the sp, with all the clerics around it's not a must but it is nice to have incase your cleric dies or something.
Harmony
Also max if you have the sp/want to farm for it. I didn't use it much during grinding since at higher lvl the spawn sucks too hard to stand in one spot, but it's nice to protect nubbies with during plvl or something.
Vitals (debuffs)
The most important skills from the Force tree. Max it all, although I have the 1st and 2nd book only at lvl 1 because I found myself not using them as much. I only need the real debuffs to kill someone. They are handy against euro's with cleric though, since they do get through holy spell.
Passive
Increases your mp, just max it.

Just tell me if you got any more questions xD

Ice is not so good for bowers really, because skilled bower uses tactics like using phantom in dangerous situations, light 80 cold 20 is better for archer, bladers and glaivers should get 100 cold.

With 100 ice a bower doesn't have to get range.

Ofcourse it has to get range, not every1 is str, example ss ints you just phantom away when your hp is low and when snow ends just phantom and use the 98 skill and followed by anti devil, because they will try to interrupt you.

kb, fire wall, kb, fire wall if you have to be a pussy. Also with snow on they don't really have to worry about dieing. They got enough skills to prevent that without phantom-ing away.

I meant that to use phantom when the opponent int's snow runs out.

So you build a char about the 1min someone's snow is out? O_o What about other builds lol..Fire wall helps against kd from bladers/kb from bowers and glaives, it also stops stats. Same thing for ice wall but then for ints, no stats/kd/kb. Face it, light is useless for pure str's.

Bicheon/Ice makes an awesome tank, but considerably less damage than a Bower. It's all about personal playing style :)

I was pursuing this build but I saw only a few str ice bow players and when I asked them how was their build they didn't gave any assuring answers about it's performance at PVPing.

Bottom line is Cold Str Bowers are generally better at PvP than Light Str Bowers.

Thanks :) I didn't do an update for 110 cap because I quit SRO about 8 months ago, just as the first few people were hitting level 110, so most of the people reading this will probably know more about 110 cap than me lol.

Btw PM replied.

To number two. When you check your character screen you will see phy/mag dmg and both min and max ratings. The higher your attack rating the more often you will hit towards the max dmg.

Bower is more of a 'go it alone' build. If you want a team player, most euros cater for that.
