Less Hp yes, more mag def yes.
Go read SuiGrl's guide ffs.
YES it has lower hp, But it will have enough hp that a STR wouldnt be much of a threat, And it has enough hp + an amazing MAG BALANCE that nukers would suk at killing it.
Youd have your range whatever good thats for, all you gotta do is stick and move, Deivl arrow here, Demon Arrow there, Combo if you can, And boom, opponent 0 you 1.
Its not ALL about the CRITS, Not for bow (i realize how retarded this sounds but just think about it. You will do more dmg with every hit except your crits will be slightly weaker. and they wouldnt be horrible crits anyway so what ev er.), even tho bow skills give a crit increase (anti-devil) and also a AR increase (passive and birdie) And besides, youd have 80% or higher phy balance so your crits wouldnt totally suk anyway, So wtf ever.
Im done defending myself and this build, @ Iguana that was uncalled for, and no i wont be getting my bow char banned. Noone knows her IGN and noone ever will (except my guild will know its lil ol' me but they wouldnt tell a soul).
so gg i win you lose bye bye now take care then.
Besides ive always thought of bows as a suport char, and thats exactly what im making this char for. Im not gonna do many 1v1's unless its against a nuker or if there are extinuating circumstances. Cuz im sure against a full str blade or glaive you would probably die. Maybe. Maybe youd win though, well have to wait until i skate to 80 fully farmed to find out now wont we.
Kk i go now get more paypal money and get 80 faster.
-edit-
oh btw ive always said if you plan your builds for 1v1 youll be dissapointed in the end. Think about that (it was in SOMEONES sig awhile back).
but yea ill give you the upsides and downsides of this build in a nutshell right here and you can decide for yourself.
Upsides
-More Hp than a nuker (good cuz you need more hp) And a higher mag def than a str (good so you cna own nukers).
-In protector a nuker or a str would have a tough time battling your ultimate hybrid bow character.
-With halfway good PvP skills (as good as you can get in a game like SRO) you could survive anything, and most likely kill anything. Besides you win some you lose some even the almighty "Pure STR Fire Glaive" loses to some whacky builds and even Bladers can die.
-This build is *somewat* unique. Theres always that aspect.
It pwns for PvE and thats definite. Who says you cant use it for PvP and do well?
Now anyway heres the
Downsides
-Less Hp then your average Pure Str bow. (more dmg tho)
-Crits less (does more dmg for every other attack though which i think more than compensates. This build means you can use a bow and not depend on a crit to win. this bow build makes using a bow a GOOD idea. for once.)
-Costs More because at end game you will absolutely, no matter what, need great gear with great STR and INT bonuses. (But you will need less potions to get to end game so idk.

) (that was a joke btw i realise one piece of great SoX end-game equipment would cost more than youve spent on potions throughout the whole game).
-And thats about all i can come up with.
so ya im done decide for yourselves just dont knock it till you try it, Pure isnt always the best choice and ive always looked at bows as more of a Hybrid weapon anyway (if you look at the stats bows are practically designed for hybrids).
