Another bow question

Hi guys,

I came up with the idea of having a bowman again. Now I achieved lvl 26,
but I can still adjust my build.

What you guys think?

-Full str does most damage?
-Hybrid-str does most damage?

Many guys confused me with their guides, to be sure I ask it here

Thanks in advance

-A full strength bowman does the highest critical damage, but their base damage is lower than that from a hybrid strength.

-A hybrid strength bowman has a higher base damage than a pure strength, though of course a lower critical damage.

To me a hybrid strength bowman is more appealing, because a full strength bowman depends on the random critical hits. Whereas a hybrid always keeps hitting a 'high' base damage.

Though, the base damage of a pure strength bowman isn't that bad, you just depend a lot on criticals.

Well, the stats are a little bit harder to choose from. It actually depends on your own preference, there's no such thing as pure strength>hybrid strength.
When the cap. of Silkroad was level 80 a player named "Liquidsmooth" broke the damage cap. with every single skill (on mangyangs). His build was somewhere between 85-90% physical balance naked.

Well, this is what I think about bowman.

I see, well usually my bows will be NPC's because 42- bows i wont find easily with many crits..., but if i would go hybrid how which one should i be? or just 3 - 3?

i think full str is best for bow

3 votes for full str
1 hybrid

i keep this open and close in few days,
I won't decide on these results Yet

you dont play anymore on my server or?

I do

my chars:
-CrackILM
-CrackxILM
-sKiLLeX

i have a lvl 92 archer full str and it goes well, but it may be cause he wears a sun+8 bow ....

and the dmg between hybrid and pure str i guess Zu is right, but i like crits

Well, it's your own preference tbh. Just as I stated before, there is no pure>hybrid thing. I like hybrid bowman over pure bowman, simply because I don't like a random occuring thing.

Good luck searching for your personal best build!

pure int, light/cold

This build will be the one if sKiLLeX wants to a fast leveler/grinder. Probably on the same level as a nuker, maybe even faster than a nuker. Pure int. bow is the best one in PvE.
Though, it will be no good in PvP and just a supporter at jobbing.

That's what I can think of.

I know pure int Bow does massive damage, but I already crossed the full int thingy ^^

For me is being a bower a real survivor, which can sustain a lot of hits.
I prefer high damages but still want to be one with a lot of hp.
So i think i will become 2 - 1 str.

not sure tough^^

i think that it will good also in pvp when u hit max level, cuz u got stun and 2 knock back skills. its just depent on ur playing style.

Glad to hear^^

altough when I look at poll it says 8 votes FULL STR
1 vote for a hybrid

those of full str tell me? I don't accept those votes without telling me why :p
