well i am a pure int s/s build lvl 74
I am almost fully farmed. 20k more then i should cover 4 trees (fire, light, sword and spear)

my current mastries are

69 fire 69 light 69 sword and 40 spear (will bring spear to 60 for max passive)

S/s is great, but playing 74 levels of it got me really bored of it. AND if i continue at this rate, i probbaly end up quitting the game. I want to try somethind different. Well before the alchemy, I heard INT archers are really bad. But now alchemy has added, it improved alot of INT characters survival ability. I was thinking, if i go Hybrid - INT Bow and if I do lots of alchemy to boost up my HP, would a hybrid Bow be OK at pvp? I know it wouldnt be exactly the greatest build for 1 vs 1, but any chance that i won't die in like 4 seconds?

This is would i plan, if i change my char to a bow.

add STR from now on till 80, (when 90 caps come, add str till 90) so i would be an Int hybrid.
Calculated HP at lvl 80, will be somewhere around 10.5k
at 90, hp calculated will be somewhere around 15-16k

tress (LIGHT,FIRE,BOW + Spear)


I just like some of your opinion, cause this is a big switch.

dont think u will be very good no.. u havnt got much hp since u start late with hybrid..

glaviers will kill u easily

DONT, beleave me, when you are bored just put a stall and go away, change the weapon and you will regreat it, and ull quit the game faster !!!


beleave me, i stoped like 5 mmo only with like this !!

why not try out a ss/spear dual wield?

yep try that...i'm doing it now. got myself a sos spear and i'm lovin it...

it's easier with macro's for switching weapons and it takes some practice.. but after that it's great.

thanks for teh comment. Yeah i am really stuck in decision making

My friends tell me to PLAY wutever i want to play (causee well, its a game)

Some hardcore gamers tell me not to, cause bow suks at pvp (espcially if ur hybrid int or int)


dunno really what to do. Sometimes when i am sick of botters all around me, i wanna stay s/s and nuker their asses off

But sometimes when i am relaxed and chilled and alone, i'm so bored, that i just want to mess with things. Try new stuff.

Starting new character would be like impossible for me, this char took me almost an year and a half, cause i have school + homework and work and stuff =/

Sigh life is difficult. Should i play for pwnage or fun.. really hard decision but thanks for all input so far. I would like some more opinions, if you guys dont mind helping a LEGIT (woot stilll LEGIT) player

Well as a bower, you do have an option. If u got some extra mastery points to waste. Level up whatever mastery is required and get the stun move from glave or blade, and just get a base drop weapon to use it and switch back to the bow for attacking. People say bows suck but it's not true, there are ways around it. If you want to do it fast write an autoit script for doing it.

there are some bow builds, if well played, pwn every full str around -_- beleave me

that what id do
