Your view on the best bow build

[taintofsleep]

Okay, what is your view on the best bow build and explain why. This is not an argument thread so just state your opinion on your favorite bow build.

For me I would have to say that I like the 70:70 bow build. I liked it because not many people have that build and it did decent damage. I also liked wearing protector.

The only bow I tryed out is the int hybrid. It is working better then I expected, fun to play with and versitaile.

Since I have no more experience of the bow builds, I won't compare them. And the reasons for picking a build should be about what you want to do and not what others tell you to do. Allready have a pure str character close to 70. One is enough!

I liked both the 70:70 and the full STR. The 70:70 was an allround great build, but it required exceptionally good gear to complete. I believe it is one of the most flexible bow builds. Worked great for PvE, but my PvP was lacking. sword nukers would rip me to pieces and so did glaives and blades.

The full STR bow I had was mighty. My crits were just insane. Pure INT's of my level went down after anti-devil crits (which happened pretty often) or right after the multi-arrow combo. It was better then 70:70 for PvP.

I believe, in their own way, both of them are good.

My next experiment is the hybrid STR bow. Works out preppy well for now (lv 37), but I want to level it, to see how it behaves later.

pure str.

[taintofsleep]

seems as though people still favor str

[lolster]

well i still say int is better

[duke_nukem]

pure str is best imo. bows are phy attack with high crit. with pure str, those crits are as powerful as they are gona get.

[Jodrion]

70:70 bow build is amazing, I know someone who got their balance at 83:83, they have never been beat.

always wanted a bow but im already at a ok lvl with my nuker and hes farming

Also totally depends on how youre gonna play youre bow IMO.

If youre gonna be a nubhead and just stay and tank with a bow you have to go STR.

I am now lvling a str bow. When it reaches 70+ and I get bored with it, I am planning on going for a hybrid bow. Dont know details yet.

[umerasmez]

pure str, when devil crits... insane dmg

[liquidsmooth]

I don't know what is wrong with people saying bow is a str weapon it is not. GLAVE IS A STR WEAPON. There are two weapons out there with more base phy. dmg. then bow. GOD.

It's what you'd call, the middle class per say.

[taintofsleep]

Totally agree with HertogJan on this one

I Agree.. Bow is perfectly for Hybrid or INT. (I think) I use much Skill though.

True, HertogJan.

I voted on Hybrid STR.

Though, I play with a level 42 Perfect Ice Hybrid Bow (PACIFIC),
It's 112:112 now, with my Blue stuff it's like 126:126.
I can beat my own level of mobs (Red Scorpions) with losing less then 150dmg e/ hit. Pritty nice I think, offcourse with Armor. But when I reached lvl 47 I'll buy myself a full Protector set, more Nukers around lol.

You should try it once, It's fun :]
