int bows

[aazumak]

are there nay high level int bows, or 1:2 int or how many 2:1 int?

id love to know how much damage they do. they probably do a ton of damage because of the crits correct?

Bow users are usually Pure str or str hybrid...but I do believe there are some int hybrids too. But talking about crit, STR's do more damage because damage calculation is based on str IMO. Just my 2 cents...

Well....
Int bow with 100% ++ Magic Balance
It can play with Spear any time u want. U can nuke when u want, u can use bow to do quest. i think this is the best char.

Str bow is good... however, if you want to use glavie dual with bow, it is useless, because glavie rely on the heuksal skill.

Pacheon + Fire, Cold + Lightning / Bow-Spear
it is good when berzerk.
I used to kill giant Mujigi, White Spider lately. of course.. it is risky that life is short.

ROFL int bows..
check out this guy.. he had to fake his screenshot to make ppl think for a split second that this build isn't completly weak.

Better have some full sosun set waiting for you if you wanna do anything in pvp or job.

ive been doing some thinking about bows, and i realized that since they have the farthest range of attack, if anyone is attacking them, they can attack back.

isnt the flame and ice wall series perfect for them? with a hybrid bow and the walls up, isnt that perfect?

do what you think you will like. play it to like lvl 30 and if you hate it make a new char

Level 64 Int bow with a 5 level gap. I am using a 64+5 bow with a 7th degree protector set.

I am mostly grinding on Karras these days. Most normal hits (anti-devil and strong bow) are in the 4500 - 6500 range ... with crits in the 8k - 9k range. Multi-arrow normally hits 1k to 1.2k each hit and I use the four hit multi-arrow.

This is not a pvp character, though I can and do one hit other Ints my level. I work in a partnership with a friend who is a blader and we do very well working together. This is not a build for everyone but I have a good time with it and love playing it.

im an int hybrid bow..decent damage than a pure str bow crit is decent..grinding in mobs is no problem..in pvp though its hard to win

yeah I think it will work but just to start off with. Because from what i've seen in vid's. The wall comes down in one hit, it still is extra hp though so if you got the sp then i'd say go for it. But it's not amazing imo.

[Stress]

80:80 with fire wall is almost certain death for nukers. With a strong bow slap, almost no pure INT can stand it it's way.

Against hybrids: Wall, lv 69 berzerker arrow + vision = dead.

firewall?? well i'm not sure cause i've never seen anybody use it as a pure str at my server. But it would take 1lion shout maybe 2 to bring it down. Then you can start nuking. That's about 2sec you lose for something that takes about 4-5sec to set up. So you nuke them while they are setting it up. shout twice while it's up and you are good to go.

80:80 build might hurt though but that's not my point right now.

Im a full int bow, now lvl34, and it still rocks.(it just begins to rock )
Im farming at black/normal scorpions and can tank up to 10 from them.
Coz:
IF you are a full int bow, you must have a GOOOD or halfgodly defense unless you have suicidal tendencies:p
I have a full som+3/+4 armor/jewel set with full blues(100%) on them and a sosun lvl24+3 bow.
Isnt that much, but rocks as hell

Second:
its all about gear, thats all.
You can be an über full str badass of a lifetime, it doesnt matter in the face of a som/sun gear and a sosun weapon....
Its all about gear.

[vanom]

theres a guy on my server...MistAssassin..i think

and he is a pure int bow...all he does is kill yarkan like 3 times a day....

hes killed LY like 60 times now mabye even more





pure int bow is kick ass at killin uniques but isnt that great in pvp at all ^^

MistAssassin is a friend of mine. good bower, but with no chance in pvp.

[aazumak]

not 1 v 1 but in clan wars they would probably be great


also as a theif or hunter wouldnt they be nice.
especially if they could hide in the bushes, they could get a good charged shot in.
The problem is really that they cant take as much damage, but if they were theiving and were off and behind something they could do alot of damage and probably get the kill, and i myself have a lvl 35 sword, so i dont know much around hotan, but at jangan there are alot of good palces to do this.


also w/ the fire walls, you could probably get them up before the fight starts, no?

most people will just let you /c they think its worthless

im talking about 70:70 bows atm,

[MrFudge]

Im a full int bow,
I have a full som+3/+4 armor/jewel set with full blues(100%) on them and a sosun lvl24+3 bow.

lmaooooooooooo try getting amazing gear at cap. youll get owned.
u realize with that same gear a pure str bow would basically destroy anything in its path

+1 now with that kind of gear you own because very few ppl spend money on this type of gear at that lvl. But on higher lvl's more and more ppl will buy better equipment. So the higher you'll be the more obvious it becomes that your build is a very week pvp build. Ofcourse in pve and teamfights it is very nice. But you better have some players backing you up 24/7.

I was, Int Bow from 1-55 and it wasn't all that bad I think all Int should start with bow, it makes leveling alot easier at early lvls, then when your 30 pick up sword or spear. But Int Bows will be overpowered at higher lvls sooner or later..if most Int Spears have a hard time at high lvl's just imagine Bows, with no stuns or knock backs to help...o_0....would be nice to see a Int Bow in 90 cap lol tho, hehe but I don't think there will be o_0.

well what i did was go till lvl 21 with bow then took a spear and then at lvl 32 took a s/s. Because i was gonna keep spear for the passive so that makes more sense.
But if you are not gonna take spear then bow is indeed a very good option imo. And bow is a lot of fun. I still take it when i'm escorting some 1stars. Only lvl 10 skills but you are less bored.

That goes without saying.

Someone needs to make a guide on bow builds

*Looks at ElisD or LS

[Senbonzakura]

wtf, I always thoguht that int bow was better, what's better about str

[Blade__NZ]

Crits + HP + all bow skills are phy based.

[shadowman20875]

I have always thought about doing that, but really, unless you capped and farmed, most people wont give you the time of day. Its all "Full Str" this and "Str Hybrid is the worst build" that. I dont wanna argue with these people, so a lot of thought has to go into something to try and sway the minds of "non-believers"

45% of 78, just about farmed....grinding is just slow with no ticket (dont wanna sign a contract to grind with summer just starting), so soon...but not quite yet.

read between the lines..-.-

he means they all increase crit so it are skills for phy based characters. That's what bow is all about.. doing a lot and high crit. A pure int bow has a crit that is not really significantly(<-who made that word up:S ) higher then a normal attack. So you'll be giving up your hp and your high crit. Wich leaves you with some range and a build that's pretty useless after lvl 30 unless you are addicted to range and hate pvp and jobbing.

Why thank you

When the time comes, i will try not to dissapoint

[-]sKuLLz[-$phYnX]

I'm a Int Bow. And it's alright (My friend gave me this account cause my other got hacked so I didn't make it this way). What you should do is always have that nuke in there.

But I personally like Str Bow.
