BOW

Post by urtoasty »

alright i made a bow and right now im SP farming at least 15k right now.

for skills i will be doing 80 pachean(Main attack), 80 lightning(for imbue and buffs.), and 80 fire( for the buffs.)

would i be decent with this right now? or should i not even get fire for the buffs and just get cold?

comments please.

thanks

It really depends on what you want to do, however, I recommend atleast 20 Cold for the lowest book of Show Shield (if you are pure str you don't want more than 20% book). I also recommend Fire over Cold (right now) since it has +%PDmg buff and passive. Although, if you are 70:70 bow, I'd say Cold probably...

Edit: Just saw your sig says you are str light bow, and on Greece. Hello MiniMe! :D

Damage differences in imbues are negligible (seriously) for pure str.

I just want to say: +1 everything EternalShadow said.

Also if you ever plan on jobbing the fire tree is useful, since it makes it easier to be immune to ice and other statuses as well as being able to make wizards and rogues visible.

You only need around lvl 30 fire to be immune at higher lvls. If you don't want to farm or gap, letting fire slide really wont hurt you much, it would help though, you could always add it later if you wanted to.

If you are Pure str yea imbue isn't really the most important thing, but say if ur 70:70 i suggest going light/ice/pacheon because the snow shield+passive+slow down moves with light imbue

Umm...YES.

You might have to be 52 for 7D rings but yes once you have 7d accessories you can easily be immune to all status's that can be put on accessories. I have 32 fire and am immune to all status except shock, because it isn't high enough on my accessories. I am immune to zombie, ice, and fire.

It does suck though that my fireshield buff runs out before my other ones so I have to be careful.
