Silkroad Online Forums

first of all i wanna show my gratefullness about this forum : ) it helps me a lot of times

well ....until now that im relative new to all of this...i read a lot about chinese chars/build....and of course i study a lot of vids ^_^ ...so nfor me i come to the conclusion that there are two builds which seems very nice for trading/jobs - pvp full str bow and full int sword/shield ....my intention is that sword/shield is the better one because of the shield that gives him more protection and his skills which can cause a knock down to the enemy .... well the str archer got distance attacks but no extra protection....instead he got a lot hp in comparison with the sword/shield nuker ....i just cant decide between them.......glavie and spear make the most chinese dmg / beside the crits of the bow..(i think so ^_^)...(but full int without extra protection)...well there is the possibility for hybrid 7:1 or 5:1 but i think they are still hard to play........i realy esteem your opinions about this ....and sorry for that novice question ...... i was just confused because everywhere some people swear by bow and other people swear by sword/shield nuker im just arguable and dont wanna do a failure

for now i just think sword/shield skills are much more fun than bow/spear/glavie ( in my opinion and based on the things ive seen until now) ^_^
but i wanna create a char (chinese) that is good for jobs/pvp and things like that....
well i know that there isnt something like the best

greetings chris

It seems based on your post that you prefer pure int s/s, if you like it, just go with it. Also I say it's stronger than the pure str bow.

Btw, this is in the wrong section I think, it should be in C&S.

oh sorry C&S means Characters Skills?......i will try to move my post ^_^ just need to take a look how to do this ;D ......thnaks for your answere again ....and your right i think sword/shield is more fun to play ^^ i just wanted to obtain some other opinions about

Yup, C&S = Characters & Skills. You cannot move your post as far as I know, a mod has to do it. Soon they will probably do it, just wait a while.

s/s is pretty well rounded but so is str bow

in pvp str bow can tank with out snow sheild, the s/s tanking power goes down alot when snow ends

the bow also has more range and can still hit really hard

s/s is better suited for power level and killing npc thieves (if you're a hunter)

hm, the S/S would be more of a damage dealer in jobbing
Str bow would be a better support you get into a conflict with other jobbing groups

just dont forget the 100 cap with 2 knockback skills for the bowers while you choose

it is better damage, but bow still hits pretty hard too maybe i didn't say that right

area of effect nukes makes the s/s nuker better support for jobbing perfectly suited to a hunter

hm so i think i will take sword/shield nuker....but after all im not 100% sure xD because both got pros and cons ; )
thanks for your help until now .....but may i will try bow too....so i can decide after i made my own experience ^^
after all i think both builds are great for jobs/pvp ^_^ i think the one who sits in front of the screen could be the problem ; D....
well one of my problems with the bow is that i wasnt able to find a guide/to find a guide i can trust in ^^....because i actual dont know whats the best for bow ,,, i just read about force/fire bow and lightning bow....are those the best builds?..i know force is for pvp but is it good for job too?...im just totaly confused again xD

what do you think about this build viewtopic.php?f=5&t=87477 =)
greetings chris

force bow is pretty nice, tho honestly being a force blader, force is pretty boring until u get higher. u dont get ur first debuff til lvl60 (excluding the attack rating and parry ratio ones).

I'd probably go s/s nuker. Pretty good at pvp and pve. Altho bow is also pretty good overall i'd think u'll enjoy s/s nuker more. But hey, im not u, i may be wrong.
