That's your cookie-cutter bow guid fit for 80 cap pure str bows.

If you couldn't tell, Archers dont bloom until their low to mid 70's.
at 71 they get a crit 35 increase antidevil
at 73 they get 5 arrow combo knockback
at 76 they get their strongbow stun.

Before those lvls, you get absolutely nothing lol. But that just gives you 70 levels to learn how to appropriately use Ghostwalk- Phantom. Remember to always use your range to your advantage, and don't mind if people call you out for 'running'.
