Bow user help

Hi guys,

I have a question about bow users,

Are they really so bad at pvp as people say, even if you have a good build and good equipment?
Because if they are alright in pvp I want to start a bow user.

Thx in advance:)

Str Bow users are very good in Pvp, so are hybrids; IF you know how to use them =]

Int bowers are another story lol. Don't make a pure INT bow user. Kay?

I won't

But thx for answering

I think I'll make a str bow user then and search for a good build:)

Every build has the potential to be just as good in PvP as any other build...it all comes down to the gear that both parties are using.

Oke thx for the reply

Well, an INT bow user's only potential is losing I guess. Bows are weapons that are based on hitting with Crits, And Pure INT users use Nukes. Bow users don't use nukes..

So they are Pure STR.

If you want to disregard the rest of the statement i made, so be it :roll:

Haha no I'm not doing that,

Just wanted to thank you because you answered my question so fast

And I won't make an int archer cause I now know they suck;)

Thanks for the replies everyone!

lol, sorry, i was referring to Fre3f4l1 only quoting half of what i said when the statement i made was meant to be taken as a whole.

Oh Sorry,
but usually an INT bower doesn't do really good regarding what gear it has. I know what you meant though, sorry for not quoting your whole statement.

lol, no worries

usually is the key word there. I have yet to see one, and probably never will, but an INT bower with full sox gear and an sox weapon im sure would quite well, lol, which goes back to the original statement that with the right gear, anyone could own.

You're right. Although, STR bowers, FTW

An idea for a build.
69 bow
69 light
90 fire
And pump the rest into bicheon (72 if I calculated good)

Bow for PvE, no nukes but bow skills. You'll level fast with a big F. Switch to S/S if things get hard.

For PvP use S/S for KD+tripple stab.

Your damage will be great with the help of the blue hawk.

better build would be:

80 bow/80 fire/80 lightning/60 cold.

With this you can use the imbues and buffs from lightning fire AND cold.
Burn/freeze/and shock your enemy.. and slower the mnster the longer it'll take for them to reach you.

I suggest either a Pure STR bower or a 70:70 Hybrid.
