well since i farmed at ongs etc i am now lvling at 0 gap so i am adding every skill while i lvl atm..

my question is for the high lvl bowers out there can u tell me if u use mind bow series at all and if it is worth it and also autumn wind to compare which is better for grinding

it seems like by the end of it i will have to many skills, are they all needed? is there a huge cooldown for bow skills at high lvl that we need more skills to use while others are recharging or what?

i dont understand what a good idea mind bow would be while grinding , u will get urself mobed , also if its for hitting multible targets while there on u then why cant u use autumn wind series and explostion arrow? im bit confused on what i should do,

i am paying for plvl now etc so i havent even got any hints on grinding with mind bow yet really (i used to have a old bower lvl 59 but i quit it a year ago so new skills wasnt out by then yet)

any help or feedback would be apreciated thnx

Edit~ wow reading that back my english is terrible nowerdays but i cba doing every spelling mistake sry all

I am not a high level bower but I am a hybrid level 47 and what I did was drop all 3 - mind, autumn, explosion. I still have them at the level I stopped which is like book 1 level 4. I keep explosion on the skill bar just to use to pull mobs off my wolf or when partying just to get a few hits on the other mob close by. You are absolutely correct in my opinion there are too many skills for the bow to get and use them all so what I did, since I am hybrid, is get the light nuke. I use it when getting mobbed or again to try and pull mobs off wolf. It hits hard since my magic is up and God forbid you run out of arrows it gives you something to use to finish off a mob.

are u planing to readd the skills once ur highier lvl and ready to sp farm to max skills do u think?

i think the only useful nowadays is antidevil series, arrow combo, explosion and strong bow. mind bow if you want to grind faster.

i think it the same way to plus i am using the new bow skill(i dunno its name:) ) which can attack mutiple targets 2-3-4 at same time at different direction,so the new one:)
oh and bowers will get some ne skills teh multi arrow combo -->> pull back
strongbow--> stun
it will be f*ing good!!!

Mind bow is good for luring mobs only. At later levels it gets weaker compared to other skills, so add it if you have enough sp. And autumn wind IMO is completely worthless. I can assure you that you'll be using only anti devil, berserker, arrow combo and strong bow (and mind bow sometimes)

hmm it seems like most ppl are against getting the skills, well since i have ruthly enough sp for 90 cap i will add the mind bow and autuem wind to lvl 80 and if i dont use them i will just not lvl them up when new cap comes,

thnx for comments all

I am leveling all the attacks.

I dont know how you guys grind, but I grind in 8 parties half the time. Then AoE attacks are usefull. Explosion arrow, autumm wind both attack multiple mobs at the same time. Mind bow is good for luring mobs.

Considering I am a full str I also use them when I grind alone, I can tank mobs easy.

In pvp I use explosion arrow only as first attack, cause it has the longest loading time. Favorite skills in pvp are strong bow, anti devil, combo and autum wind. Yes Autum wind, unless anti devil wich is only strong when it crits, autum wind delivers a good amount of damage on wich you can count on.

But in the end it is all up to youre own opinion, there is no best build or best tactic.

Most people who say autumn wind is not worth it have never had it to high lvl. I don't have it so I can't say, but the few who have had it say it is very nice for grinding and gets better as you lvl it. The damage reduction to the 2nd mob drops I think as you lvl it, so it gets better and better. I didn't have the sp so I got lightning nuke and said that was good enough.

Mindbow is completely optional, but I use it all the time. Mandatory for hunters protecting trade runs. I would get it to at least the last book for max number of arrows. I keep the last 2 books on the bar they are not linked cooldown times.

It depends on how you set your bar up. I use the space bar with the floating bar, for more skills. If you don't have a good method of storing and using skills then chances are you won't use them.

I gave Autumn and Mindblow a pass for the time being. I'd only take it when I have the extra SPs. Others skill to me, are more important

Mind bow is good for jobbing since you can hit up to 4 targets and is useful in clearing lower mobs. The 4th book of the autumn wind actually does more dmg then anti devil bow but with out the crit increase. I'm getting both for my char, though you can save sp and not get either.

cool
thx

u should get a -1 post for that


thnx for comments all, i will continue with mindbow since it has no cooldown its pritty nice i was using book 1+2 to do my lvl 30 expantion quest it done the job nicely so got good hopes for this at highier lvl
