Cold or Force on a STR Bower?

MilesFT · Post by **MilesFT** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 6:25 pm

Alrighty, I'm a pure STR bower, I plan my final build slightly ahead for the 90cap in the future, so it will be 90pacheon 90fire 90light then that leaves 30 masteries for something else. What do you think would be more effective? putting my last 30 points in cold for meager physical boosts and snow sheild which wont help much anyway with my low mp, or should i put the last 30 points in force for the slightly more mp and weak healing? Its a tough choice to me. I can do the cursed heart quest and drop my cold from the level i have it now, thats no problem. my question is just what do you think would be more beneficial? the healing and extra mp or the few cold skills i will probably never use?

IMO no need to get ice if you only have 30 points

get force lol, vital spot is good for annoying people whoare pvping LOL

lawl, I was kinda thinking the same thing. Plus the MP bonus passive and the crappy resurrection and healing would be fun too. Cold would be worthless at 30 I think... no imbue of worth, and skills so low they wouldn't even make a difference. At least I would have a weak aroma therapy skill and could regen a bit faster, plus heal myself, and debuff people XD

AT 90 cap pure str bowman will be more stronger with the new peachion skills.
so as u r pure str bower u wil bel so stronge and all u need 90 peacheon 90 fire and 90 light.
i think u put ur 30 mastry points in heuskal for passive and more HP.
30 cold very weak and will not make any difference with u.
30 force very weak too as u will able to heal and ress low lvl.
so how can this weak skills help u

all up to u

Well, when it comes down to it... I ask myself this "360mp or 360hp" and honestly the 360mp bonus sounds better since im pure str I have a good amount of hp already but low mp. The mp will help me more I think. then on top of that, like you said already I can help low levels, and heal and what not. That fits my personality, i like to help people when I can. So if im not doing anything and have an hour to waste, you would probably find me out helping some lowbie by healing and vital spoting his mobs for him. The ONLY thing i would get from the hueskal would be the hp bonus, because the melee skills would be completely useless for me with a bow... did that make sense? I know the end result is what i feel more comfortable with, which is probably the force, but I asked here just to see what some other opinions were to see if maybe i might get a different idea with some other opinions. I like the idea of more hp, I just dont think it would help as much as all the other force skills could, even if they are low, I still see a use in them that would be more than the slight hp bonus.

so, my final quest which has very little to do with anything thus far. What is the easiest way to farm cursed hearts? Can I hunt level 10 mobs for them even though im 30+ or do I have to hunt mobs my level for them to drop?

Also, on a complete side note, how do you people get your server name to show up under your user name like that?

If your farming just dont even bother doing quests grind the hell out of ur character.

And as for the server names under out names just goto your profile and find the box that says Location: Put your server name there and it will show up as the picture.

If you play on Zeus though you gotta spell it Zues cuz someone goofed on the code lol

oops, I meant my final "question" was thinking faster than I was typing. I just basically wanted to know what the easiest way to farm curst hearts is. To farm them on low level mobs that I can kill in 1 hit indefiniately, or do they only drop on mobs my level and what not.
