Theiving Bowers!

Post by rumpleKillskin »

Is it smart to theif while being a bow character?? Because I am lvl 24, planning on hunting and theiving - or starting - in the mid 45, to 50-s. However, will a bow be good enough to do so?? In my guild we have a few bow people , including at lvl 80, who pwns people (most the time) , but in the lower high lvls, will I still be strong to theif???

Pure str, getting the sos equipment , and will have help.

OooooO, and also, when should I hunt Tiger Girl?? I know right now, even though i can tank, i cant take all the elites and giants she spawns. Also, in m y server, probably the other ones too, high lvls just camp waiting for her, but I have noticed times when people dont try. So should I wait till later 20's, early 30's ??

Its a complex thread, I know hahah :D

Bows are reasonably strong but they get alot better at higher levels due to high amounts of str so therefore higher crits.
So agaisnt people about your level you should do quite well.

Id Wait till 32+ atleast before you think abot going for TG as the new weapon will help alot though you stil might lose the kill to a higher level.

I wouldnt hunt TG, even though i got full SOS set pimped gear/weapon.
I would try at like 40+.
Also because im a pure INT, couldnt tank much.

ya, i would think at first, if ur high enough lvl, u could pick the transport out fairly quick if :
1) guy isnt expecting it
2) no pots for horse lol, unlikely

Im thinking of going hunter also, both are same, just a little differnt.

oo i just thought, when u arrest someone who is wanted, what is the reward???

No it's not useless, of course you can run away all the time, but basically you're a glaiver with range and a little less damage. Also no extra defense and just stand there dealing good damage.
I haven't seen much bowers who run away all the time.

With bow you can hide yourself on shrubs, it hides your character and your name if you do it right, and attack from it, sometimes making people confused. But as people say, there's no better weapon for jobbing, it's like normal PvP.

No one weapon is most best suited for jobbing-just do what you want. I myself like bowers. So I'd say *Go ahead*. :D :D

ya, good point about the bushes, I think I am going to use that actually, take out the transport. And I know, I guess I should have said your choice, what you think is best
