I'm planning on creating a new character and I can't decide on wether I should go bow or glaive

For Fire Bow I will be using anti devil bow, black hawk summoning buff, berserker arrow and strong bow and the passive. And in the fire force series, the fire imbue, flame body buff and the passive. A total of 5962 SP needed.

For glaive I will be using soul spear move, chain spear, flying dragon and the passive. For the fire skills it will be the same as the bow. A total of 5973 SP, if I throw in the ghost petal is will be 6670 SP..

EDIT: im not sure if i should throw in the fire nuke due to my build being pure str and that my weapon nuke will be stronger..

My character is Fire / Glavie and I'll tell you why.

1. Ice / Bow is more efftive for archers because of the range, being able to freeze oponent before it gets to you.

2. Glavie does big phys and magical damage (most magical damage out of all) - if u count spear as well)

3. Bows are expensive - too expensive. Compare an SOS level 24 bow to a SOS level 24 glavie its 3 million versus 2 million.

4. You have to carry tons of arrows. Unless you pay 8 silk everytime you want a quiver of 10,000 arrows its gonna give u nuts having half of your inventory in arrows and keep on buying more.

5. Glavie has fancier moves, instead of just the pulling of the bow action, the glavie user has fancier moves and styles as I come to find in level 27 of the heuskal mastery.

I think your SP calculations are off. By a lot. ;p

Your build with JUST the skills you listed are actually:

Bow: 57437
Glaive: 56861

later on ice isn't as usefull as in lower levels , damage will drop and you wont kill before they reach you
