BOWMAN help plz. =]

[Lust4MiKo]

Hey guys I'm in need of a little help.
Alright so me and my friends have decided what we all wanted to be.
I was chosen to be the group's bowman/iceman/healer hybrid.
Alright so so far i'm level 16 (we all are)
and i'm doing 2 int and 1 str
What do you guys recommend i should get for mastery levels??
So far i'm thinking about
69 - pacheon
69 - ice
69 - fire
69 - force
24 - lightning
That equals to 300 mastery levels..
does any one know any improvements i can do??
yeah.. right now i'm SP farming and i only got 1k so far T.T
all advice will be appreciated. =3 please and ty

there is quite some improvements you can do.

-first of all, you are an int hybrid bowman. bows have a
balanced phy and magical attack, which means they do
decent damage on both. however, it is almost proven that
bowmen should be either str heavy hybrids or pure str.
str heavy hybrids can work great as a support char, since
they have the distance, and with ice you will do great in pve
and jobbing. pvp however, will be hard.

your skills are to much spreaded. you focused on the 70 cap
with your skills max 69, while maybe you should be focusing
on the 80 cap already. even if you focus on 70 cap, you should
leave some masteries untouched since with the cap raise there
will be no mastery raise. so when the 80 cap comes and you
are fully farmed with all skills on 70 max, you will have trouble
killing compared to the 80 capped chars.

since you will be support and (seen how you would like your
build) bowman, i would take pacheon and ice as main, force
as sub tree. that would make

pacheon 80
ice 80
force 80
=60 mastery points left.
can take
lightning for speed
fire for physical attack/def
heuksal for hp bonus
bicheon for whatever, not really useful lol mayb dual wield

this is not a complete build i advise you; i dont have an
archer and i dont have a support char. but this is how i
think you can make something good out of it. in any case,
go full str from here to get your physical balance up up up.

and know that you will not be the fastest leveler in game,
but you CAN be one of the hardest to kill supporters.

good luck!

I love archer but I dont think is the best ress/healer because is a primary target on guild and job wars, tipically is

spear nukers-->s/s nukers-->Bowmen-->Glavier-->Blade

If you make an int hibrid bowmen healer you will go directly to the top of the list and you cant ress if you are dead (as soon as you ress someone you will see so many glavies flying to your head).

I think that the best for resser is a heavy defence player (blader or s/s). If you are a blader you will have the time to cure or ress and everyone will know that you will not fall easily. If you are a S/S you will have to do a constant hit/ress and run tactic (if you try to be on middle of the battle you are dead).


If you still prefer pacheon I will recommend you go with armor:

80 pacheon
80 Fire
69 Force
61 or 54 light (you will need lots of SP already)


But my recommendation is go blade (replace pacheon for bicheon and go garment) or S/S (I hear 85% naked balance is good but I didnt try it, maybe more 80% to have more HP and go protector).


My final advice is remember that you are planning a support character so you need to stay alive to support and not go directly to the battle to do damage (consider 100% speed increment potion in case of guild war).
