Hey all!

I just started a new archer character, and was wondering which skill (ice, light, fire) I should use for imbue once i get lvl 5.

note: I am planning on SP farming for a long time once I reach 16.

Please reply with your imput.

Thanks

If you're SP farming, get all three mastery trees but I would use cold imbue for PVE.

Go ahead and get them all - Use fire as primary imbue, but keep ice handy in case someone drags over those pesky bandits.

Don't get light though... Unless you have spare sp, because light looks cool, but it doesn't really have a bonus (Who REALLY wants damage transfer? I'm sure you are all like "For mobbing, duh". But archers don't mob)

screw ice, light, go for fire

Go for fire imbue. you will need every extra bit of damage you can lay your hands on.

if your going to sp farm alot get ice and fire. Ice for giants champs, fire for reg mobs

Ice imbue is superior to fire imbue for an archer in almost every way in PVE. Sure fire imbue may do a bit more damage but frostbite is such an effective status effect, enemies become tons slower in both movement and attack speed.

lawl people. dude get fire imbue, your sp farming so you wanna get as close as you can to 1 shotting bandits. faster the kill=faster sp

He's a new player, he's not going to have a sox 16 bow. He'll be 2 shotting them regardless of imbue.

this is what you do. lvl to 25-30 and collect Cursed Hearts(get 300). then you delvl to 16 and drop your masteries to lvl 7 and you can 1 shot bandits.

I ahd an archer with ice, and it worked great, i barely got hit cause of frostbite or freezing. And at the 90 CAP the immune ice should be fixxed like KSRO, so pvp should be good to. The problem is choosing between fire or light, cause bowers are usually pure STR so they need the fire protection for mag defense, but phantom walk is good for instant moving way from mobs or ppl. I Know cause i used Bower before, but it was INT and it suked, cause i din't know anything aboutr builds cause i just joined SRO back then and only had a lvl 27 S/S at the time, so i deleted that bower.

then ur kinda crazy. Ice is nice for bandit mobs but i dont think u can two shot archers, the main source for the farming

actually, u dont need cold at all...

as u said, most of bowers are full or hybrid STR... fire have phy dmg and mag def, light have grass and phantom walk (also have must piercing, and that is really usefull for hybrid str too)... cold what? phy def? lol, u dont need it.

im building an archer hybrid str fire/light, and he is doing fine atm, but im just lvl 30. Anyway, even being lvl 30, i know that i dont need cold imbue for PvE couse almost all the mobs cant touch me with fire (also i have a bit more dmg).

but i repeat, im just 30

Haha! That's classic

Yes only if ur rich.....i tried to de level my lvl 17 Heuksal to lvl 16...thats only a 1 lvl decrease and it would cost me 40k
