its good when your lvl 76 or 73, once you get ahold of kb and stun. but before that its 'ok'

At 100 cap it's annoying as fck.

Constant Arrow combo KBs.

Combined with Stun from Strongbow?
Secks.

Bladers are awesome too with their new buff that increase their physical damage

& of course most of euro build (wizards,rogues & warriors )

IMO, there are two (maybe a third, SP-friendlier) options:
1) Classical fire-light build:
90 fire
90 pacheon
90 light
30 cold

2) Force bow:
90 fire
90 pacheon
90 force
30 cold

3) SP-friendly fire-light-ice:
90 fire
90 pacheon
60 light
60 cold.

EDIT: I'd like to mention something else too. Some people take 90 ice for their STR builds (there are quite a lot of glaivers with 90 ice). IMO, 90 ice isn't important for a bow, because bowers have KB arrow, if they're in trouble

What one of those would be the best for pvp?
I hear force bow is great if you can use it
correctly? wouldnt 60 ice/light be best?
you get the grasswalk and stuff and help
tank a bit extra?

I heard that the force bower's crits are incredible. Watching the videos on youtube they are pretty cool, but i know light is hard not to have especially grass walk...

add to them this build that my friend made he is level 90 hybrid
Force 90
Pacheon 90
Ice 90 (Imbue)
light 30

If u want force I would do 90pach/90LIGHT/90force/30ice cause imo light buffs are more important than the extra damage fire provides. The bad thing is that u will loose lots of magical defense so u will hav to wear garment.

18% phys. attack > 18% mag. attack and some speed&parry.

So the best would be 90 light/pach/force and 30 ice?
would 90 light/pach and 60 ice/force be any good?
Thanks everyone, im open to all builds not just bower
im currently farming at 16 (N) so i have ages to decide.
it has to be str or hybrid though, all points have been
put towards str already. would blader be able to pvp
better than bower? i will be able to afford reasonable gear.
not absolutely insane but better than average probly.
thank you

ive kinda always like bladers but never had
a high level one.

If u want force u hav to max so 90pach/90light/60ice/60force is not a very good option, 90pach/90force/90light/30ice would be better for a hybrid bow (80-85% str heavy), and 90pach/90fire/90force/30 ice would be better for pure str.

Yeah but light is also important. If someone gets close i can kb and phantom then stun and such. I used to have str bower and always use phantom walk when people were close. So maybe for pure str maxed fire light and pch is best then?

I really just wanna know the best chinese build for pvp. thanks
