Bowman skills... need help

Jodrion · Post by **Jodrion** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 3:07 am

I'm level 20 right now 70:70 Hybrid Bowman build. I am now fire and pacheon, what other force mastery would be best... light or cold? Give some message on this please. I would like it!

For a bowman like you, get pacheon, fire, lightning for the buffs, and maybe ice depending on you.

ok, I was thinking that, but I was also thinking cold would be good for pvp. Ill have to make a choice. Kind of hard to decide. I could probably switch it later if I want though. Thanks!

i heard that ice if best for bow users...b/c u can frostbite or even freeze the monster before i can even get to you, 1 downfall tho, is that ice is pretty weak compared to light and ice

I would say that Light is essential to any build. Without it your soooooooo slow, lol, unless you wanna buy those drugs of typhoon or make them via alchemy. My bow build consists of Pacheon, Light, Fire, and Force but 4 trees require quite a bit of farming.

Since 70:70 is Int based, im gonna go out on a limb and suggest that you leave fire, and get Lightning and Cold because you will be helped more by the extra defence, and speed, due to the lack of HP from your build. Or you can leave cold and just make sure that your gear is above average to make up for the defence lost.

Or you can just farm lots and get all 4 (pacheon, light, fire, cold). You can fit them all into the 300 masterys with something like 80 pacheon, 80 main (whether it be fire or lightning), 70 for secondary (either fire or lightning) and 68-70 cold.

I agree with him. If you want to make a 70:70 build the only way to not get killed on pvp is having light to manage the distance with your opponents. As with any other build to be strong you have to to do a good farming and get the best of light, fire and ice.

That Im doing now its maxing pacheon and ice and having fire and light at 32, that its the level where you get:

Light:
phantom walk 10M (that will keep you alive and you have to improve as soon as you can. Full farmed get 21M)
8% extra Mag damage (full farmed get 16%)
38% extra speed (full farmed get 78%)
35 extra parry (full farmed get 56)

Fire:
8% extra phys damage (full farmed get 13%)
41% status error resistance (full farmed get 78%)
13 extra mag defence (full farmed get 91 :cry:

)

If you dont want to use the ice imbue, ice will be the tree that less help will provide you if you keep it at low levels:

16 extra physical defence. (Full farmed get 97 :shock:

)
Skills to froze-frostbite

Im going to 72 quick and farm better fire and light (I think that I will not farm them completly, just up to 6x each tree) at that level. If you have to choose between ice and light choose light (Im a cold archer and Im saying you to get light :banghead:

), but in my opinion the best pvp-pve ratio you have it with ice imbue with fire and light buffs (a lot of farm required :oops:

).
