Pros and Cons of Bow User?

[MatchKick]

What are the pros and cons of a bow user 1:2 ratio in stats. I know there is a guide about it on this forum but I want a indept up and downs of a bow user if someone will tell me about it.

They can shoot pointy things really far.

1:2 stats... I assume it's 1 STR : 2 INT.

This build is close to a common bow build: the 70:70 bow build (70% physical and 70% magical balance). It's pros are high damage (Demon arrow + Strong bow combo releases plenty of damage in a short period of time) and long range. Also, it has knockback arrow, which is a lifesaver.

The downside of the build is that it doesn't survive with ease without snow shield.

What are the pros of an INT s/s when compared with a blader? Well of course it's much higher dmg
Same goes here... The more int you put, the higher your dmg is (chinese chars)

1. most of the time you can kill melee units before they can actually hit you or if they do hit you it usually is like 1 to 2 hits.
2. hardly need any hp pots! less money used!
3. awesome crits!

CONS:
1. arrows (cost)
2. i find i use a fair lotta mp pots
