I have anti devil bow, hawk and multi-shot and i'm only planning on getting 1 out of beserker or strong arrow. Any advice with picking which one would be more usefull (mainly pvp) would be helpfull

I would pick Beserker Arrow. For the fact that that the first two books cast faster than Strong Bow (while the last books have the same casting time). The last page of Beserk Arrow is actually stronger than Strong Bow but they have the same casting time. Beserk Arrow can hit multiple targets. Also you get an Attack Rating + from Beserk Arrow and not Strong Bow.

So personally I would take Beserk Arrow over Strong Bow.

Just wonder why archers don't like Autum Wind series. The final book of the skills hits the same amount as Strong but but casts faster and can hit up to 3 targets. Autumn-Wind Blood page 6 hits 287 - 389 250% with 3 penetrations. While Strong Bow Vision page 8 hits 287 - 389 350% no penetrations. Autumn wind is faster hits more tagets and does the same dmg why doesn't anyone use it

i have both strong and berserker....

heres what i see when i grind:

using strongbow i generally use strong then multi and mob is dead

using berserker it is anti devil then berserk then multi to drop mob....

you be the judge but IMHO i think the cast time doesnt matter cuz youwill lead off with that attack anyway. also it consistently does more damage - and my berserker is a lvl higher too...

as for autumn series yes it does the same damage - but it decreases with each bounce - so essentially you have 3 really pissed off virtually unhurt mobs.

i personally think you should carry both - it worx great - while strong is recharging you are killing your next mob with your anti devil/berserk combo and so on....

I dislike berseker for the fact that it attacks more mobs. I am wearing garment so its kinda crucial to kill them while they cant attack me. That is why i want to focus on 1 mob each time and not attract a couple of them to me.

I'm not getting them both because i don't wan't to farm sp for a long time. I'm going fire/bow so i need to level light for grasswalk and i wan't force for res.

i am ice/bow pure str so quite frankly i dont care if a mob gets to me - i also have fire(for buffs/passive) and light for garsswalk -if you farm early 1-20 you should be fine with sp until well into your 40s. i am just now starting to run low on sp as i approach 50. good luck with whatever you decide

Does strongbow have a place in pvp? I've seen some high lvl's use it, but most of the time its just anti devil + imbue + quad shot + tripple shot and repeat (I think). I'm guessing berserker arrow is even more useless in pvp, unless your enemies are convieniently huddled in a group.

But, stronbow's animation is 100x better than b-arrow, but overall i'd say b-arrow is better for taking on mobs.

Anyways: DEBATE! Strongbow vs Anti Devil

I think strong bow would be a good opener pve and if i hit a crit in pvp it could be usefull.
