Alright guys.. I heard that 90 caps are coming before Xmas..
So I'm planning on them ^^'
But if they don't come It's koo because I probably won't be finish SP farming until they come.. T.T
So what builds are better for killing Uniques?
I have two builds in mind.. So iuno what I should go for?
Here are my builds:

90 Pacheon
90 Fire
69 Light (maybe don't know what new skills might be out there yet)
51 Heuksal (for the extra hp + I like the glavie ^^)

90 Heuksal
90 Fire
69 Light
51 Pacheon (for the extra punch in the damage)

So.. Which one would be the better one for killing uniques?
I wanna kick some Unique ass and get famous in Persia.. ^^
Or what advice would you give to a pure str?

LOOK AT THE 9TH POST FOR AN UPDATE

5-6 times a day dam.

i dont even have the patience for 1.

pure str bow is good unique hunter.

can take a hit and crits well from far away. its good not having to be in that big jungle mess of elites.

For uniques bow. And if your planning on dual wielding it wouldn't be a good idea, with your mastery at 51, you'll do VERY little damage.

and thats it ^_^ a nice strong build for killing uniques

+1

Bows definetly have the advantage with uniques over glaives especially when it comes to yarkan. With his knockback and knockdown moves, it makes it hard for a glaiver to deal more damage than a bow who isnt effected by those attacks.

I would also go for the build above.
90 bow = Your STR, so your weapon damage will increase greatly by having this max.
90 Fire = Most damage, magic defence which you will need against nukers, phys damage increase
90 Light = You will be as fast as you can possibly be (which is a must for a bower), you get a magic damage increase (every little bit helps), as well as parry increase which helps you take less damage.

couple of questions guys.. =/
Alright so.. if 51 for a second weapon won't do very much..
What should i get it on?
I just don't think anything else is worth getting

51 light - already got a bad ass hp
51 force - kinda worthless if you dont' get it all the way (not including the mp boost but that's kinda useless w/ loads of mp pots)
51 bicheon - still got a bad ass hp ^^

So i thought about jsut getting 51 heuk or pach because heuk you'll get more hp and pach you'll hit higher..?
So if those are weak builds.. any one know a really good unique tanking build for pure str glavie/bow?
Ooh yeah one more question.. why 90 light??
All you need for light is 69 for the grass/phantom walk + the buffs
I thought that if you get it higher it'll only affect the imblue for light..?
-which i'm using fire so i don't need..?

90 Pacheon
90 Fire
90 Light

If you are planning for the 90 cap, then you must also plan for the 90 skills. With bringing Light up, you will become faster, be able to phantom walk further, have a higher mag attack buff, and a higher parry ratio.

Having a tree at 69, and another at 51, really dosnt give you the benefits of the new skills. Dual builds are going to be quite tough, if not impossible to pull off with the 90 cap. I would focus on one with Fire and Light so you can be as strong as you possibly can, instead of having 4 trees, 2 of which will lag behind putting you at a disadvantage.
