70:70 Bow or STR Glaive

[TheDrop]

Okay there has been many threads related to character and skills lately, so i thought i'd post mine too
ATM i have a lvl 27 pure str bowman w/ 37k sp and pacheon/fire/light maxed to 27. Since I'm kinda getting bored of my main character (nuker), I thought i'd spend some time on my alt. I want the build which is fun for grinding, don't care much about PvP atm.
Also if i make a glaiver, should i bother getting the chains?

which version of sro?

[Snoopy]

Bow? I would go 90% STR the rest on INT; or 85% STR and the rest on INT. I don't know why, I just seem to like these builds. (Balances are calculated Naked).

You have suffice HP to tank, especially with the right gear and your damage will be much better as far as Damage per hit, not having to rely on high crit bow. etc.

-------------------

As for a glaiver, should you decide to go glaive, I'd suggest Pure Str as you said.

that's why i asked what version
ecsro's skill cap is the old isro's of the 70 cap which makes bowers kinda useless, only one good antidevil and the strongbow takes way too long to pull off.
if it's other updated versions of sro with the new skills, bowers are mainly crit based there, since all useful skills have crit increase (antidevil/strongbow), so a hybrid wouldn't be a good idea then since it lowers the dmg of crits (especially a very hybrid bow like 70:70), although the balances above wouldn't affect that much and increase overall dmg.
note: of course this is preference. i played a full str bower at 80 cap and i raped! so i'm gonna side with pure str! crits

glaive chains are fun to have so why not! you won't be using them in pvp at all but in pve it's kinda boring to spam all the same skill again and again!

i would:
ecsro as it is now -> str glaiver
other updated versions -> str bower

I voted for a pure str Glaive. A pure str bowman is awesome too but don't make the bow hybrid
Then better take a glaive. I got a lvl 65 Glaive and he one-hit lvl 64 mobs

if you go glavie get the chains they really help in pve and they do have a purpose in pvp if you know how to use them. just like spirt crash or what ever that "useless" skill >< when will people learn to pvp with your head?

[evilpeta]

what's the point in using those in 1v1 pvp? they just lower dps and don't give any special effects like stun or kb. not to mention they take a while to perform.
the only skill that might come in handy is spirit crash (or jade breaking if you're low lvl) which is quite quick to perform before gsm or a stun.

MAYBE, just maybe the pluto chain (4hit) may come in handy against other glaivers or opponents without shield, but the 6-hit chain is just a pile of shit in pvp. takes way too much time to perform and the damage is so gay it's not worth it. the thing about pluto is that the dmg is fairly nice, and you can get crits during the chain, it's quite fast and gsm goes well after it.

either way, dps is higher if you just spam stun, stunning means you can get free hits without being interrupted, thus increasing damage over time.

Pfft you haz no rightz to close mai threads!

I just thought about another build; 70:70 Glavier/Spear w/ 90fire/90heuksal/60light/60 cold. How'd ya think it would be? I don't really care much about pvp as long as it isn't a 2 hit like int spears, but i'd like to know how it compares to pure str glaivers in pve :].

ty in advance
