Recommended Builds for Bow/XBow
 
So, as the title says, what are some recommended builds for a bow?
Also for a crossbow/xbow? Thanks in advance to any advice :3

Most people get 25 spr, then go Dex or End.

As far as I know.

A build I did for my crossbow was 25 SPR and then full DEX. I make up for my END stats with rings and END on my crossbows. Since we don't get that added block rate without a shield, shouldn't waste those points on END when you can get the same boost from just rings and earrings with HP bonus.

Some go full STR but that build will only help while you are still low leveled. After that the bonus damage isn't that significant. If you want more damage, simply upgrade your current weapon.

Lol, I doing the opposite of your first build. 25 SPR the rest END and I have DEX accessories ^^

Loveless 11-30-2007 10:59 PM

That works too. I just think that if you want that third stat badly, just use rings for it. :3

I like END: DEX 1:1 Build, decent def and good evasion, if get hit, not as much dmg

Zwivix 12-01-2007 03:04 AM

But you'll get hit more since you dont got the big SPR crit bonus or the lower but more contstant STR bonus.

You might wanna add alot of accessories for SPR so at least you get some more crits.

I usually kill the mob before it even reaches me, so I have no need for DEX. It doesnt matter if I evade more, I just hit them more ^^

Well, i have a build going totally the opposite from you guys:

I have 25 spr for the crit and sp, then i am going 2:1 str:dex.
This is working great for me, i am grinding on monsters,10-15 lvls higher than me. The only thing about this build is that you have to be in a party, but then thats the whole point of the build, not putting any points in end...

P.S. i am lvl 37 and is using a cross bow

I thought that SPR rings + accessories don't give crit?
Only the m. def and extra SP, but I could be wrong.

I have 25 SPR, and I have decided to put the rest in END. Will use aim scroll if needed :3

Loveless 12-01-2007 05:03 AM

SPR rings don't give any crit bonus. Just the earrings with them and putting points into stats.

I solo fine with my build with DEX:SPR. Usually with one mob I use one stone and/or I just rest up. With no points into END (just using the rings and HP bonus earrings) I'm usually the one tanking if there's no Fighters in the party. With the crits I give out I'm able to hold the aggro and can take up to 3 mobs depending on what it is (and of course a good cleric). :P
