Full str Blader or Full str Bower??

[SlowX]

Hi all,

I moved to the new server maya to start from the begging..
So now i made a new char, Full str, chinese and I still can't decide what to choose..
I have a lvl 81 full str blader fire/force on Uranus. This is a really good, and very hard to kill build. So i'm doubting to make a blader again. The bad thing is, blader sucks at lower lvls.
On the other side, I want to try a Full str Bow char. I have no experience with bow chars, so maybe you guys could give me some advice?

Note: I like to tank 10 mobs at once without dying and i dont give a .... about hitting low..

you will hardly be confronted with such a situation till you reach alexandria

OT:

Bowers are the best allarounders you can have as a chinese,
Why?
- Range
- Critical enhancing attacks
This enables them to lvl up quickly, even as full str.
But their only way of defending is attacking, since they lack blocking/defence of a blader or the hp of a glaiver, all they have is stun and knockback (the latter being highly accentuated in pvp).

in lvling, bowers would outclass bladers
in pvp, it would depend on the player.. but a blader can easily put down a bower if he knows how and when to use his skills
in group pvp, bowers are probably better because it is not only about surviving, but throwing about enough damage and throwing that damage quickly.

sp wise, the bower needs much less than a blader... making the needed gap smaller and thus making it quicker at farming and lvling.


summary:
Going bower will relieve you of the sp/lvling problem, leaving you with a good allaround build, the only downside being the loss of real tankability and ,(probably) visually, the loss of the cool chains

Thanks for responding guys.
For now I'll hold on to bow. Simply because it grinds so much faster as a blader, and thats nice in lower levels. Maybe I'll swap to blader on later levels.

if you plan on swapping, farm a bit with bow before doing so, otherwise you won't be able to lvl up all necessary skills

I know, I play with gap 7 atm. I used to have a 69 blader, wich were a glaive till lvl 59 So i've got some experience with swapping. Thx.
