Pure str Bow or pure Str Glaive - help please

Post by Xylon »

Hey there all. Well, I'm somewhat new to the game (like, 4th day playing). I found a post about SP farming, so I started to do that. I'm, lvl 9 w/ 519 SP and zero on all masteris. At lvl 10 I was going to put a weapon and force mastery both to 5 so I can get the first skill. Well.. I was reading about all these pure str glaviers, and pure bow. My question, is that I've gone pure str, so what should I go w/

Should I go w/ glavie for knockdown etc., or bow? And what force?

U were supposed to leave ur masteries at 7 and then get to lvl 16 and start sp farming. As for the build, I recently switched from glaive to bow and it is awesome. I grind much faster and its more fun then glaive. For the force mastery i would go with fire because its stronger then cold and lightning plus u can burn. But u go with whichever u like more.

Well first glavies don't have knockdown they have knock back
Second with the char I'm playing with now I can kill the same lvl bower east with or without hp pots I even lethim have the range advantage which won't happen alot when your jobing/pvping/ect
Third for your forces go with Fire and Light no matter if you have a glavie or bow

id go for glavie with kb or blade with kd :)

glavie is the more "fixed" build, proven to work.
bow is still a bit of a mystery, dont know how strong they are on cap.

see if you like ranged attacks or not. bow=ranged glavie=close combat.

you can be like the other 100,000 pure str glavies or you can be like the 1,000 bows.

whatever you want.

both are killer builds, but you need more experience in the game to be a killer bowman, glavie not so much.
