uhh can we say hypocrite?
You call cj11 a jerk but you jump all over him like your a bunch of rabid dogs and hes a fresh steak. Whatever.
I really don't think he was trying to be mean or hurt the guys feelings but It is kind of hard to understand him. And It will be difficult to give advice to olvl1 if he doesn't understand you...I mean sure cj11 lacks...subtlty but whatever....
And if it turns out that cj11 WAS being mean then...Disregard my above comments.
...Anyway on-topic:: I wouldn't disadvise you to make a pure int bow...for the first 24 to 30 levels...You'd be suprised how much easier it is to survive with a bow and still do nice damage...I think pure int using a BOW is the best until you get your nukes. (I mention lvl 24 because you get 4th degree weaponry at this stage, which is a good time to switch to swordshield or spear.)
Just dont put any actual lvls into Pacheon (the bow skill-tree) unless you feel up to doing the Cursed hearts quest, or paying for skill-reallocation potions form the Item Mall...After lvl 30 pure int bows are not only worthless they make every other build laugh. They dont do much if any damage and they can't tank even 2 htis from a pure str. It's ridiculous...Spear users can tank more because of increased HP due to the Heuksal passive, plus the spear will do More Damage because it is a weapon designed for high magical attack.
But personally, I fear the S/S or Sword/Shield nuker. They still hit harder than an int bow, and they have block and increased defense all around. If you want pure Int go for s/s nuking I'd say. If you want bower definitely go with pure str or str hyrbid. Normally I wouldn't advise str hybrid but the bow is an awkward weapon and with an awkward weapon comes and awkward build.
