Which is better? For max damage.

So hard to choose. >_<

xbow is weaker, but it has knockback and knockdown. If you want damage though, go for the chinese bow

I think xbow is bettter i was pvping whit one guy my lvl i am bower str he knocked me down i tried to use skills but nothing happend then he knocked me back and again down when i stand up i still couldnt use skills afther some knock backs and downs i died

Xbow is weaker than chinese bow

I ain't a high lvl and haven't been a high lvl chinese bower, but my guess is that a xbow does quite some more damage, at least with xbow extreme. Without it, probably a chinese bow with the crits...

Please reply to this, cause I started the xbow to do lots of damage...but if a normal bow does more damage, then what's the point of continuing

keep going falcon is an idiot

xbow > chinese bow

damage wise....go compare level 16 bow vs xbow
my sos 16 xbow > som 16 bow ROFL

nuff said!

Don't go back on you decision i've done that way too many times.

Starting new character and then thinking to myself what's the point point it'll only be killed by a certain build. >_>

I think i'm going to go full str bow.

I've always wanted to, it's just so many other builds are appealing in their own ways.

lmao...thats funny.....

range: xbow
damage: xbow
crits: xbow


3 - 0.

......You are so funny.

And 8D max crit on bow = 15, Xbow = 23 or 25 or something like that. And if crit is the only way Bowers win PvP, then....yeah.

And who was it that said he kills mobs 14 levels higher at 5x with xbow? I would like to see a chinese bower do that. By the way, if you are killing monsters 11 levels higher, you are powerlvling yourself.

pot delay: bow

xD

3-1 lol

Lol Found that out myself...

Pure str blader (deleted)
Int spear (deleted)
70/70 bow: (still have it, but don't play with it anymore)
Pure int s/s: My favourite chinese build, also still have it
Pure str xbow: working on it at the moment

range: xbow
dmg: bow ( why? elemental imbue with buffs )
speed: bow
crit: bow

pvp: bow vs xbow

advantage: Bow

why?

with the ghost walk series, its very easy to close up the distance in a short amount of time and with the new ability to stun and knockback for the bow
and with bow's xtreme speed advantage, interrupting a xbow is not a problem at ALL.

bow vs xbow is almost like chinese blader vs euro 2h

Erm, xbow has "Extreme Xbow" which buffs their damage tremendously
plus the fact xbow damage is > bow (don't believe me? go compare it at npc shop)


This is the same pretty much, maybe bow has that combo move which knockbacks but anything else has pretty much the same cast rate. (xbow could be faster imo)


Did you even read the previous posts? bow crit avg 9-13, xbow crit avg is 13-20+...do maths and go figure!



Before you can "ghostwalk" to a xbow, he already has you locked on target at huge range...and their knockdown / knockback skills are 50% probability...good luck interrupting a xbow when YOU'RE the one being interrupted.

You can't win a discussion on this forum with just words.

they both got pro's and cons lol, you gotta live with it

kloudzen

as far as my experience goes, i have NVR ever being interrupted as BADLY as u portrayed. i usually win 3/5 rounds per pvp with xbow match. my friends an xbow and he and i always pvp against each otehr and/or with other union ppl. but most of the time i pvp outside of samak and hotan.

maybe our play style is a bit different? O.o

DAMAGE:XBOW>BOW
SPEED:XBOW(bard sub)>BOW
CRIT:XBOW(25critical)>BOW(15critical)
RANGE:XBOW(35metre with long shot)>BOW(12m)

XBOW wins espacially with xbow extreme

+1 but long shot=+7m
18+3m passive@lvl 60+ long shot 7m(the most powerful shot).fast shot has +15m but that has a 51% multiplier so..

anyway..if the x-bow has x-bow extreme on he will die quite fast.

and kill pretty fast.

pengachu, the people you PvPed must have either been bad, had bad equips, or simply had bad luck. You should know that at higher levels, the Xbow actually has 50% knock down and 75% knock back. You don't get interrupted? Please, you really think having 1 interrupt skill will win against having 2 high level interrupt skills and 2 lower level to possibly use for the sake of the effect?

Speed of attack is the same really, and the +15 meter attack may be 51% but you can use it after every shot to add damage since it attacks instantly.

The only reason why bow would ever win against crossbow is pot delay, which matters very little with a really good crit crossbow (20+).

my friends that use xbow never rarely lose to a bower because they get disabled/interrupted/1 critical killed before they do enough damage

most problematic for them is nukers/wizards rather due to insane 1 hit damage nukes.

anyways, aas torinchibi pointed out, it's highly unlikely to NOT be interrupted by a xbow and I've never seen anyone who hasn't in high level PvPs.

what level are your friends again?

chinese str bow isnt great for pvp untill higher lvls i dont think..like mine did alright but other builds like bladers/glaivers did a bit better for pvp. (i was lvl 53). chinese bow only gets the knockback and stun at lvl 73 and 76. i dont know alot about pvping with rouges

Watch that rogue video posted in general. The rogue Pwned pure STR full sun blader in 1 hit with crits, pretty sure he was using crossbow. And with crossbow he was 2 shotting level 80s. So if you zerk, you can pretty much clear the field before you die.

This was said so many times on this forums that I wasn't sure if I should tell you guys this:

"SRO doesn't have best builds! it's all about knowing how to use them and owning good equips"

It doesn't have best builds but it has better builds. A crossbow is just better than a bow hands down. On equal terms, excluding pot delay, a crossbow will win 4/5. You just cannot really do much when your long lasting skills are always getting disrupted. Unless you plan to kill the rogue with something like....full combo moves to the max. Although you will be down after you use the KB move.

If you only want to talk about dmg...

My crossbow rogue 3 lvls ago...

My weapon = lvl 35+4 crossbow

I don't even think a same lvl chinese bow user can hit that much with a lvl 32 SoSUN +7. (unless someone wants to prove me wrong here. )

And in PVP, theres always stealth. Ya, you can try to detect with skill/pills, but their max range = 15m. Minimum range with crossbow = 18-21m, long shot +7m, fast shot +15m. Have fun trying to detect a crossbow rogue.

xbow does more damage with or without xbow extreme

bow does descent damage and can tank


i can 2-3 shots yetis and i'm lvl 56
i gain like 60-70% per day (with gt and skill ticket)

with or without bot?meh.nevermind other ppls businesses dont mind me...
anyways heres what i say to ppl who say bow is better than xbow:STFU N00B

What a stupid reply

Crit: 25 vs 15...
Range 35 vs 12...

This means that you take the skills for xbow in account but you don't look at the bow skills...Because with the bow skills you can get a much higher crit than 15...

I do agree that a xbow does more damage, but it ain't superior.

Damage: XBow>Bow
Speed: Bow>xBow (even though you can cast your skills faster with xbow, you can shoot faster with a chinese bow, which means you can cast more skills in the same amount of time)
Crit without skills: xbow>bow
Crit with skills: bow>xbow
(The chinese bow probably hits a bit more crits, cause of all the skills, but that's if you use them )
Range:xbow>bow

lool skill or not the xbow does more crits lol 25 critical means 4outof1 shot is a crit and speed isnt bow coz before bow comes near xbow it will be down.
