I'm a lvl 62 bower and I'm currently full STR. I want to know if I can still go hybrid and how hybrid. I know being a hybrid bower, you'll hit more, but not as impressive crits. Can anyone help me with this?

Edit:
Ok, I figured out it was impossible to go 70:70 now. I'm taking another look at hybrid though, I'm thinking of going for a 90:40 hybrid build. With fully pimped gear, I will have 105:55 balance. I know that my regular hits will raise and my criticals will lower, but not as drastically as a 70:70 bower. My questions are:

- What do you think of this build?
- Pros/Cons?
- How drastically would a 90:40 differ from Pure STR in terms of damage output?
- What would you do if you were me?

wouldn't do it anymore, and i knew a guy who was lvl 80 70:70 bower with full blue +5 gear and he suck't he got ownd by someone who was 5 lvls lower.

You can, but if that hybrid you are talking about is a 70:70 balancer, that would be impossible to reach, imo.

As full STR Lv 62 you should have 264 STR, 81 INT now (naked) with a balance of Phy 97% and Mag 29%.

If you put all your stat points to INT from Lv 63 to Lv 90 you could make it to 292 STR, 193 INT. That would be a balance of Phy 83% and Mag 49%.

Even with fully INT pimped D9 equipment, your maximum Mag. balance would be around 66%, but not 70.

Thanks man, but with a 83% phy. balance, that wouldn't be too bad right?

I've seen some people go for 90% phy. balance on bowers, I'm not sure how well they do in PvP and PvE, but I imagine it still makes a big difference?

dno but dont be a bad hybrid, stay a good pure then.

blah...looks like I'm gonna cap this one, and make a hybrid one as well

if you go into complacated builds ur gonna get fcked.

you shouldnt specilize becouse when your enviroment changes you cant adapt.

btw im thinking about making a full force bow just pacheon and force
i intend to build it for the final cap so at final cap ill have 150pach/150force or i might have some light and just dlvl it at final cap.

eny advise? like will i get ..... without imbue or will vital spot+ bow crits get me thruw?

In my opinion, the only Hybrid builds should be Spear.

I would stick as Pure Strength. If you take a look at capped PvP, bows rely on their Crits to kill. You are right in increasing your damage, but you will sacrifice the damage of your crits. I have always been against anything other than an STR Bow though.

My friends has a Lvl84 Bower with;
84 Pacheon
84 Fire
60 Cold
60 Light
Armor

However he plans to delevel Light to 30 and increase his Cold to 90, then turn into Garms. By the looks of KSRO this is THE build to be.
