Hi everyone
im currently str glaiver fire/light...im thinking of changing to bow..im farming at lvl 52 and im nearly there. would it be worth changing to bow? im pure str...:)thanks:)

my main concern is pvp...whats going to do better?

[BTW] Whats the best bow build..some say hybrid using ice..some say full str. Im full str and its to late to turn hybrid...all stats have been to str since lvl 1...and im lvl 50. Anyone that does lots of pvp please help me out here

ok...8/10 votes say bow atm... ^^ come on everyone need more opinions and btw...dont just vote for ur build...vote for what actuly is "better" pvp wise...glaive would be better than bow till it has knockback and stun...after that im not sure...i like both of the builds

thanks

I'd personally make the switch, i've always thought bow weres fun and unlike other builds you usually end up using all of the skills.

Bows seem to do well in pvp, from the videos i've seen the arrow combo almost always kb's and they get some pretty insane crits.

I made the switch from glaiver to bow too, and am starting to really enjoy being a archer. Your main strength in pvp is critting so i recommend a bow with 8 or more crit. Anti-devil bow is very useful in pve and pvp, 1st book 20crit increase, 2nd 25, 3rd 30. This is added on to your wep crit so its like u crit every 2 hits. Strong bow is your ulimate atk, probably the strongest str based atk i think =P. I would still keep glaive passives just in case, just so u can have the same hp as a pure str glaiver. if have a difficult time pvp a person try running and ghost walking away and shoot at them. Ice wall and fire walls are very useful b/c you can't get stunned,kded while in the wall. also it lower.s the persons atk by a good amount of points

in my opinion if u play str only bow is u hope..cos i seen many pure str glavie vs hybrid or pure int they can't kill those int build cos of the mana shield....but the str bow got chance to kill int when cri come out ^^....in soon i will say that s/s pure int is the best...cos of lvl cap increase the block rate of passive skill will increase too....plus cri parry on shield effect+++shield skill that increase phy def .... i thinks pure s/s int will own many other build.....but i thinks euro xbow can 1 hit kill s/s int...

Definitely switch to bow. As said to you earlier with knockback and stun full str bow is amazing.
