questions regarding my bower

pengachu · Post by **pengachu** » Sun Sep 09, 2007 6:31 pm

first of all...let me clear on the purpose of this character
i want to make this chinese bower a hunter...since being a hunter has always been my dream...
wat elemental weapon imbue/imbues should i get? ( ice or fire or lightning )
wat type of build should i have? ( full str, full int, or hybrid )

i heard full str and hybrid are the way to go for the archers....and i am hearing mostly that hybrid > full str...wat are your opinoins on that? if this is true, how should i distribute my attribute stats?

help plz!

Cold is another good choice, since your mainly a hunter which involves constant pk id say go full str fire/cold

fire for more dmg

cold to slow down and freeze thieves

YES, you HAVE to get lightening!!! Hunters need mobility and thats what lightning offers and Parry Ratio increase which decreases the dmg taken. I would say (as I have on my bowman), Pacheon, Light, and Fire (Imbue also).

i have to get ALL 3 weapon imbues?! O.o
dang thats a lo of farming right there
and for the lightning passive parry ratio thing..do i even need it?
cuz i dont have a shield...since i am a bower...

Not really, this is how I'm doing my bowman right now:

Pacheon: Up to my gap lvl
Fire: Up to my gap lvl
Lightening: 5 Levels below Pachoeon and Fire

That reduces a lot of SP needed.

For Pacheon get everthing except for Autumn Wind.
For Fire get everthing except for nukes, fire wall, and fire shield.
For Lightening get everthing except for imbue, nukes, and shock lion shout.

No, pure str already has high physical defense so you don't need the buff. Also you can't have mana shield because your pure str so no need for ice.

Trust me you'll need cold mastery. What i have is 80 pacheon and fire, 70 cold and light. With 70 cold, buff gives 59 def and passive also gives the same, which totals up to 118 phy def.

EDIT: I have 20% snow shield just in case lol.

I'm looking forward to go for 90 Pacheon, Fire and Lightning and 30 fire. However, I'm starting to like my Warrior lol. Maybe I'll play euro when 90 cap comes, who knows?

OFF TOPIC: LV80 Warrior skill, Dare Devil is frigging insane, I can't wait till I get it.
