I've personally only ever played as a spear or sword char.
and i was looking at a bow that i got on a drop and noticed
that the Mag. Damage on it was very high, higher than the Phy. Damage
so it made me wonder why does no one say that a pure INT Bow Char.
would be good?
is it that you have low defense so you wouldn't be safe with low HP?

-to that i'd say you're hitting so far away gennerally the monsters
wouldn't get to you.

most ppl play for pvp and a int bow has the weakest deffence out of all classes really so is not good at pvp

thank you for your reply.
so if you're more into just the grinding part of the game
than would you be ok ? or still dead every 5 mins?

No .. Bow mag attack isn't higher .. it's only on the stat you see ..
But in real bow attack is :
mag attack/phy attack = 1.6 ..

Monsters mag def/phy def = 1.6 ..

So bow do the same mag and phy attack .. that's why ppl make it hybrid

And they also make it Pure str because Pacheon mastery have 2 skills that increase chance of crits .. and we already know that crit damge = ( Phy damge * 2 ) + mag damge .. so ppl will get the max increase in damge when crit as Pure str bow

People always talk about the increase in high criticals for two of the bow skills ... and assume therefore that bows are only Str weapons.

However they forget that both the pacheon passive and white/blue hawk increase attack rating ... which has a bigger effect on magic attacks than physical attacks.

And no Int bows don't die every 5 minutes when grinding ...

True ... and that's why bow is to be made Hybrid int (70:70) .. i don't think that pure ibt is the best bow build

make some vids pls
