Best Bower PvP build?

Post by Spitfire »

I'm making a new bower and I want him to be the best at pvp and thieving. What is the best build for a pvp/thief bower?

Pure Str, Pure Int, Hybrid Str or Hybrid Int (please include hybrid balance percents)

Also what is the best skill tree for a PvP/thief Bower?

Pacheon/Fire/Cold

Pacheon/Fire/Light

Pacheon/Light/Cold

Or any other mixed skills

Please note here I am talking about Legend V so don't post anything that doesn't apply to Legend V

Thanks! :srf:

sounds good man, I guess thief and hunter are similar but being a trader you wouldn't need lightning as much. also why pure str? I heard hybrid str was better for pvp and pve

Well it is really up to you. I just don't like mixing up things. Especially if it's a STR char. Well XMoshe has a decent bower he might reply and help you whenever he comes online.

same with me, I hate mixing things up, what about str vs int? what's the real difference there in pvp, pve and jobbing, also I don't really understand the point in getting 90 light and 20 cold.

20 cold gives you some p.def not much tho. But the 20 cold allows you to use snow shield 20% which is pretty cool damage reduction. But I'd rather go 110 cold, but in that case you might need to be more hybrid due to the high mp usage thanks to snow shield. But as I said some smarter bowers will answer you for sure.

i love force, go for bow-force i like it very much
your damage can get very crazy with division+strong bow crit.

most of people go to cold for defence, from debuffs or idk
but they forget that force can give u defence too with impotent+new stun spot, and with bow u have KB combos too.
you have alot benefits in force and i really like it.

in wars you play like a normal bower , buy / get speed , and get defence from cleric like everyone else.

your damage - many people think force build have weak damage.
force and cold make same damage.
light = make bit more damage because the mag atk buff - incrase ur imbue damage.

many people go for light too , because speed parry ratio and phantom. speed - is not problem you can train without. in wars u can get or buy, your problem is only the PR but u can fix it with good set 60% pr and white pr 61%+ , than u just dont have the phantom :)

good luck

Meh I had a force bower, ya it seems fun for a while then people whip out their pills and the fun becomes boredom when its a pot war. I switched to pach/light/fire but have been pondering going pach/ice/fire for the different imbues for grinding. At the moment I am probably going to keep the pach/light/fire combo just because my lights already at 90.

Im full str atm but I might add a little int during the last 10 lvls. Remember chinese do both phy and mag damage no matter what build you have.
