As soon as you read the title, I bet half of you guys are getting ready to flame.

Yeah, I know this should be in the Characters Skills, but NO ONE VISTS THERE, and its a hell of a lot more helpful to get some responses there than some responses under "ZOMGOSH WATCH ME SPAWN 1200+ YETIS WTF WTF LOLOLOLOLOL."

i've seen some int heavy hybrids, like Lemon (lemonade) for example, and my friend Jaique on Athens server. they say for a bow, int hybrid is the best way to go (jaique anyways).

why is this? just wondering, because ive always liked bows, but why the hell would i want to be a bow that does shit damage (str fire?).

Would this build be a serious threat? come on, you bowman out there, give some advice. zexy is a bowman, i believe? and ive heard some nice shit about her.

i've always heard that bowman in general just plain suck, no matter what the build, unless they're equipped with some pimped out SoS gear and weapon... is this true? whats the advantage of being even a str bow, when you do less damage than a glavie, and you have less life?

but the main reason im posting this is about an int heavy hybrid... so... would this be a good build? thanks guys. appreciate it.

please 10k

There aren't any advantages except for range/speed, but most ppl go strength so that they crit hard.

Uhm, you see the thing is instead of stun and stab archers has criticals, which becomes useless if youre going INT.

Int swords has block + extra defense.

Int spears has 1k extra hp from the passive.

Int archers has ...... has ..... hmm .... nothing

And nonsense, im always extremly helpful with archer topics in the character skills section

(btw there's this pure int archer from prime around my lvl, in armor, who i can 1 shot if i crit - doesnt that tell you a bit about how weak the build is?)

I loled.
5/10, not even believable.

bow - reddd

you should try full int/bow/lightning. It'll own

The only advantage is bonus AR (Which would help the most if you nuked).

bow = good AR Bonuses... but if u go int hybrid bow dont expect to be all that great in pvp. At least with pure int u can just nuke with a spear and the AR bonuses but in hybrid youre supposed to (for the most part) use weapon skills as well to maximize your results in pvp. But although int bow is very good at PvE, especially at low lvls (seeing that I am one for now on this char), I can safely say, from my own experience that it is not very good at PvP. Here's a video to boot. Watch the 2nd fight if u want:

AR only increases your overall damage a little bit.

Its not a real benefit, just a little helper
