id say go bow beeing a bow character myslef
but the only thing i do not like about it is it dose not do enough damage on its own u need to us skills witch burn mp so it tends to get on my nerves having to buy mp pots all the time

Do u burn MP becaus of the rate u fire arrows... or..?;

Its just bow has the lowest costing mp spells. I even looked it up

the max mp costing spell is Explosive arrow and thats like 1,100 mana per shot. at max. Just asking, cause my blade goes through 4x and many MP pots as hp pots.. and hes a tank.

lv 80 bow cant kill lv 73 glaive whats the best of that...

i will not say here the boring fighting style of bow...

I just had to lol at that, I can kill level 73 bowes. I cant see what is going to change when I am 80 that stops me from killing them. I tend not to fight people more then 5 levels below me, that might be the one thing that safes them

.

I know a glavier level 73/74 with a sosun glavie. And the only way he kills me with that is cause he has a godly crit on it and crits all the time. We fought a couple of times and the only times he could kill me was when he critted 3-4 times after eachother. If I can get 3-4 hits in after eachother, he is as good as dead. I figure he has shitty gear next to his sosun glavie, but still.

If you like range and mainly 1 mob by 1 mob fast kill - bow is your choice. Bow can plant at a good spawn area and be a missle turrent.

If you like more movement, and capable of running around mobs to pull couple of mobs (3 - 5) to kill - str glavie is the ultimate tank.

Some people will give you views that glavie can pwnt bow yada yada yada. Gear has a role to play and more importantly, the understanding of your character's pros and cons to have a decent PvP strats. Believe it or not, luck and crits have a role to play as well. :roll:

Its all up to the player to master the character, overall glavie has higher HP and knock back, stun as its main assets where bow has crit boast, with stun and knock back only at higher levels. Your choice.

If this is your 1st character - go pure str on either weapon choice as you would have less margin of error. Only those with sufficient gaming experience would consider hybrids, mainly on bow.
