Skills for a bow?

[Phenom]

Hey guys,

I've been thinking about changing from glave to bow, personally I think bow outperforms glave, it crits more and does good damage even without crits, and with the knockback that works like 90% of the time I think it can tank just as well if not better.

So with all that said, I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to inform me of what skills a bower should be learning (mainly for pvp, but pve is also helpful right now). Don't need any in depth detail, a simple list will suffice, just so I can get an idea of how much sp I will need.

Thanks!

mainly for pvp, you should go
anti devil series,
arrow combo, berserker arrow
and strong bow.

I guess i'll want hawk summon, dragon soul arrow, and mind concentration as well..what about autumn wind, sounds more like a pve skill?

Thanks for the help.

does good damage even without crits

Believe me pure str bow does shit dmg without crits. Glaive got more phy and mag attack.
But DPS of bow is higher if u take the crits in account.

Good to know, I just find that bow players win more often then not vs my pure str glave (same lvl).

The damage of a pure str bower isnt shitty, well it is with just npc gear. My level 80 bower had a +4/+5 set and did good damage.

Autumm wind is usefull in pvp also. Strong bow and knockback are the main attacks, besides that I use anti-devil and autumm wind. I hardly use berserker arrow besides as opening in a fight or after stun/knockback. It has the longest load time.

Seeing anti-devil is IMO only usefull when it crits, autumm wind flame is a sure way of putting in that damage that just might finish a fight.

+1
thats why i changed to glavie. i think strong bow has better dmg though. in my hybrid bowman account in persia, it hits 2k on heycheons with strong bow and it not even STR.
i dont think glavie has higher crit than bow, it just happens to get a crit most of the time (with anti-devil series.)
@ HertaJan: i had a lvl 21 +1 bow in odin and i was lvl 22 i had to use anti-devil+atumn wind+arrow combo to kill a white tiger shock: . they were all maxed at 21.

on topic: get Anti Devil, Berserker arrow, Strong bow, and Arrow Combo. get autumn wind if u like to mob-grind.
