[Guide] Pure STR Bow

[renegadebow]

I really enjoy the bow, and have seen a limited amount of guides for this build. So here I present the Pure STR Bow!

Parts
Part 1:Why the Pure STR bow?
Part 2:The skills
Part 3:The gear
Part 4:PVP

Part 1

Why Pure Str?
The bow is based on criticals, and the more str you have the more damage your criticals will have. This makes for a powerful character in PvE and PvP. Heres what your naked stats will look like,

Nice guide

[Kazook]

I am making bower with this same build. Just I am on Venus so most of the ppl who dont bot are euro so I'll probably change.

Great guide btw.

[renegadebow]

Thanks!

[Kazook]

You could post also some tips about pvp

[renegadebow]

Sure, Tell me things I should add too

[TheDrop]

Sure, Tell me things I should add too

Well you could make the guide a lot detailed (just some tips). Describe what the skills do and why you like them and for what they are useful for. You could also go into detail about the kinds of builds to pvp, and how bow does with them and how to deal with them. Also some tips with PvE would be helpful. Also, to make the guide a little more decorative, you could add pics of bows (ex. 8D/9D/10D bows), and the pics of the different kind of armor choices. You could also go into detail about why make a fire/pach/cold bow build and its advantages & disadvantages against other builds.
Anyways, great guide =D

The PVP part isn't really clear because you say debuffs. But you don't describe debuffs in your guide. Which gives the pvp strategy no sense if somebody doesn't know what debuffs are.

[raphaell666]

Wait, debuffs? The build in this guide is not supposed to have debuffs (they are from force mastery). Am I losing something?

[renegadebow]

Ment to say buffs sorry

[raphaell666]

First start off with buffs, ice shield, fire body, etc.
Your opponent should now attacking you so phantom away, Then attack with a strongbow, then explosion arrow, and finally anti devil bow. If your opponent is not dead or your debuffs are gone restart the process

You forgot to fix there. Also, sorry but to be sincere you seem to lack experience with this build (I may be wrong). But hum good guide anyways.

[inmobile]
