alright ive been playing sro for half a year now..
i got a level 80 bower almost fully farmed.. (maybe 40k sp more)
and yeah.. ive thought that all you do is spam the skills
and they have no order.. cuz ive been doing that and it works fine.
these are the skills i spam..
strong bow, 5 hit combo, anti devil, and devil arrow all w/ fire imbue

i heard that theirs a set order to do the max damage..
but any one know a proper way to pvp unlike me.. just spamming like crazy? =p
i heard it was..
1. strong bow
2. devil bow
3. anti
4. knock back
and by the time you're finished w/ it all your skills are refreshed. =X
is that right..?
any one got any tips? =p

I dont spam skills, cause each skill has its downside. My two favourits for pvp are strong bow and knockback. But since knockback doenst really do huge damage knockback should be used on times ^^. Devil arrow does good damage but is the slowest of all the attacks these days. So I either open with it or use it after I knockbacked or phantom walked. "Normal" order for me would be;

Devil arrow
Strong bow
Knockback
Anti-Devil
Autum wind

But if I get stunned, knockbacked or knockdown I usually phantom walk away afterwards, and start with either strongbow or devil arrow.

Its more a matter of feeling I guess then really have a strict order.

Against a sun nuker I use knockback arrow way more in order not to get killed. Then I only launch 2 normal attacks after I critted once. Against glaviers I just try to put in huge damage and hope not to get stunned. I dont fight bladers unless we can mass them. Euro chars pretty much the same, all the stealth builds usually only need a strong bow if they are in stealth. Warriors need the same tactic like glaviers.

well first your supposed to use strong bow as your first hit,then just use the other skills.NOTE: if you have KB (5 arrow combo) then only use it when your about to die,or you will die.lol

I open with devil bow, and I recommend that. Since it has the longest charge up ^^.
