If you were fully farmed you would own. Otherwise your skills will be way down compared to other people.

You get much stronger at lv.76, with new strongbow, but I dont think that helps that much.

I agree. At 76 you get Strongbow which stuns and if you aren't even farmed in Pacheon up to 73 you are missing out on knockback, which is the one skill that helps bowers survive.

What build are you? You only mention you're a bower. For example if your plan is 90 light you'll be a lot weaker then someone who chooses 90 ice.

+1.

Also if you are a force bower at 80 you'll be able to give them Impotent, which helps with your survability. Then at 90 you get Division and your crits become Godly combined with Weaken and Decay. :)

If you don't win much at pvp with a str bow, it's not because it's a bad pvp build, it's because you need to train more at pvp with it.

It also depends which bow build you chose, I experimented with mine alot, changing from Light To Ice made a HUGE difference.

Not a very good build if I'm honest, Light is useless to you, with 90 Ice instead you'd have something like 180 extra phy defense.

Yeah ice at 73 would help you much more than light would.

^true that 90 ice sucks, but compared to 90 light..

a 90 ice would stand there with a very high defence freezing his 90 light opponent
who can only evade using hs mobility.

The 90 ice might not be able to kill the 90light, but the 90light won't be able to kill him either

Depends how you use your lightning back when i was still a lightning/fire/pach archer i would Jump around using my Ghost walk its really effective against almost any build

Ghost walk > KB Combo > strongbow

it won't really let you kill someone unless you crit a few times but its good against keep nukers and such at bay untill there snowshield runs out

lvl 73 = no kb or new book of strong bow yet

yeah, ur gonna suck until u get 5arrow & new book of strong bow...also

lvl 90 full farm bow w/e other force mastery, with a decent crit bow (6+), you'll be hitting tons of crits just spamming

5arrow to get ppl off ur ass then strong bow & hope for stun/crit then lvl 90 anti devil, then another anti devil

rinse repeat...

also pvping 2+ bowers = most annoying bs ever, kb, kb kb kb, lol

so to answer ur question, yeah bows suck or are just at a disadvantage to most other builds the 1st 76 or so lvls in the game
