What imgue should i chose? Sorry if it another post of it...

Fire - has a burn effect, the probability of the effect is 25%.

Lighting - has a parrio ratio decrease effect, the probability is 20%.Has another nice feature, it transfers dmg to mobs next to the mob you are attacking.

you will definately want fire only as in imbue. It burns!!! it is very strong. if you were to get both fire imbue and lightning imbue you would be wasting valuable sp unless you farmed 80-100+ k sp.

now you will want some stuff from the lighting book though, like passive, concentration grass walk, but forarcher you will want fire as your ONLY imbue

lighting isn't useless... you get parry ratio increase, and grass walk ...

lightning looks more intimidating and is simply hilarious. you go pure int and mob 10 mobs and get yourself owned. :banghead:

grasswalk isnt imbue lol. Neither is the parry ratio increase. There is a difference between getting lightning skills and getting the lightning imbue skill. GET FIRE. It does the most dmg, and the lightning effect is pretty easy to get immune to or to pill away.

#1 You won't mob 10 mobs unless you're also nuking
#2 She's bow, so hopefully shes not going pure int or anything besides pure str anyway... yeah go pure str. Its really the only way to go for bow.

No offense to those STR + Fire bow people, but that is NOT a good way to go. At least in the beginning it isn't. Believe me, I've tried myself. If you're planning STR...my advice is don't. Go INT hybrid (2 INT + 1 STR), or just full pure INT. Then use Cold as your imbue. That is just MY opinion. But it works, because I've tried it.

OR you can go Fire if you like, but don't go pure STR. You will be so frustrated you'll blow up! :shock:

the quality of the build counts at the end game usually. If your going to go INT bow, why? You... A) have less life then STR bows. B) gain nukes, yet you have range through bow. C) lose damage over using a spear, and the life from it. D) lose tanking ability like a shield/sword user.

Basically, INT bow is a worthless build. You can only use one range attack at a time, so might as well go nuker with spear if you want the damage.

youre going int bow for a fun pve experience. Youve already got a strong char. But for someone who wants to do well in pvp and have a generally good build for job wars etc. , int bow has little life, does about as much dmg as sword nuker with no KD, Block, or extra defence. It seems to me like this is her main build, because she is looking for what is in general the best imbue for her. Also, if she was going int, she probably woulda put ice in the choices, so there was no reason for me to say that

Well, INT bow is what i like. If I were to make a bowman again, I would go INT hybrid. :p

why no ice? ice is gd too.

but if u choosin between fire / light go fire

AoENuker · **Joined:** Oct 2006 **Posts:** 376 **Location:**

ice is not good becuase people are imune to it at higher lvls so its a waste.

Lemon · **Joined:** Mar 2006 **Posts:** 1011

i got ice so i can freeze isy at high level imbue

Pure INT with Cold is what I would choose. Fire or Lightning you say? Go Fire. Maybe get the Wind Walk series when you're at a higher level.

AoE is so smart that he thinks firesheild is in bicheon!

Fire imbue is the way to go really if you ever plan on pvp at later lvls. Cold does well earlier as very little people are immune but when you get to higher lvls almost everyone worth pvping is immune. Lightning has a nice effect in the parry ratio decrease but again this can be uni pilled or people can be immune. Fire does more damage so get it

I Couldnt Tell You 100%

Lightning=Is Good For Big Groups
Fire=Is Good For Extra Damage
Ice=Is Good For Slowing Things Down For Extra Shots

So They All Have Their Strong Points

But Id Go Fire So You Can Kill The Thing Your Tryen To Kill Quicker And Use Less Arrows
