Silkroad Online Forums

I have a 70:70 Archer lvl46, sucked.. I'm going to do some proper tests and get a nice sample of normal shots vs crits.
I'll do the same wiht my new STR archer, lvl56.

We'll see what that shows.

I'd love to hear from this Wind character.

In my experience, 70:70 archer gets one-shotted by nukers its level. pure STR one-shots nukers it's level.

Hybrid definitely hits harder on average but simply goes down to easily. And pure crits.. harder than a hybrid will ever hit - these are the hits an archer needs to get a kill.

And yeah I think you could take just about any build you can ponder and farm the hell out of it, get every buff and passive, full sos set and uber weapon and yeah.. you're doing to do okay lol.

But then you take a pure build and do the same thing - put all that love and work and gold into pimping it out, you're going to be unfukkinstoppable.

My 3 cents.. I'll try to do my crit comparison this weekend.

i am currently interested in this build, but i really don't want to start a new character. so i was wondering approximately how long it would take to convert my character(pure str lvl 36) to 70:70. now all i want to hear is the answer to this question, not stupid flames saying i am making a dire mistake. its my decision to do this and not anyone else's. btw it's a game, if the build flops, it's not the end of the world. life will go on and i will just make a new character who will most likely be better funded.

I have to agree.

Please stop flaming in this thread. If you are all unable to have a friendly debate, then do everyone a favor and stop posting here. I have sat back and done nothing long enough.

hmm the best what you can do now is put all points on int than you will have on lvl 80 a balance of 72:66... with max equipment that means 57 int and 57 str you can have 83:82 balance if you want to go this way then good luck ! but i need to say ... i dont have a prove to show you that this build really rocks on pvp i can say that only by my opinion
but on pve its better than a full str i hope Da_realest agree with me ?
its up to you you can stick on the full str bow which would do also a good job or you decide this way




i agree with the point that we need to find a good balance which fit to both... great hp but still a good damage.. but who will know that ?
silkroad is a time consuming game nobody wants to waste his time to try something out but i can understand that !
so i can only hope this this theory will do a great job if not i feel sry for my posts and statements also for those who try this build and sux later
but i think this bow build is kinda a good one ok maybe not the best asl ike as you said but a good one

thnx jadekiss. i think ill just start a new char, who will be very well-funded. im up for doing something different than the norm. im also going to test another build i have in mind that sorta resembles this one.

@asianair09 np your welcome !
i wish you good luck hope you will do a great job

i hope Wind is gonna posthis Thread here soon as he said to me =/

Sin +1 you should post more like this, just to remind people that there are rules..

And one last time people I want to remind you that this is just an opinion and not an "official guide" in narrow sense so dont flame and insult. Give another opinion or answer..

But here lot of insults towards the bow hybrid and noone is saying anything about spear or even sword hybrids... Bow is even considered for inferiour weapon i dont know why..

Hybrid bow is better than full str (for me) for many reasons but here are some of them.

1. it is very boring just to use and play with 3-4 skills
2. full str is against common sense (phy and mag dmg allmost the same so it is best for hybrid, range weapon, and why would you want to tank if you can hit someone from over 20 m)
3. you have larger damage and kill mobs faster
4. you lvl faster
5. you are a support unit and not a first line chest to chest fighter (tanker)

But the bottom line is (and prooven) that there are lots of high lvl players on all servers with good bow hybrid builds and all say that they rock..

just to add that many people are very oriented on PVP and that is only 1 aspect of the game it is not the point of this game. And you still can own with hybrid bowman you just need to have a good strategy, good gear and skills (2 many botters that never grinded and lack in skill so depending on full str tankers) but that regards to all builds, weapons and skills. There si no easy way or ultimate kill all and uber pawnage build in this game.

And for the last time this is a game, only a game made for fun, for meeting people, and a way to run from daily problems of life, and the last thing anybody need is to get insulted, humiliated and flamed all the time just for having ideas.. So to all flamers please make your own "guide" or 2, try it out, get good critics and then flame. till then SU..

Just the logical stuff I picked out.

Yes true tnx man..

I ment if you want chest to chest dont pick bow..

And for gold i think nukers and hybrids make more gold than full str, from mobs at least..

I already stated earlier why no one says anything about int hybrids. I guess I will state it again. A int's damage is overkill, they can afford to sacrafice some of that damage for more hp to tank better. Int sword shield does better because sword shield has blocking, kd, castle shield and the extra defense from a shield. Spear int hybrid does better because it has knockback, stun, bloody fan storm, and about 1k extra hp. What does bow have to help them by time so they can do enough damage? Nothing.

1. Thats just your opinion. No matter what build you play you're going to be using 3 or 4 skills. Maybe less. PvP in silkroad isn't hard at all.
2. They can ghost walk also and be right back in your face. They can stun, knockback, block your attacks, and kd you. You're going to die sooner or later.
3. PvE is only one part of the game.
4. Same reason as above.
5. People not only go pure str for the hp but for the criticals also. People in game are selfish. Bladers and int hybrid sword users will most likely kd your target. They are not going to come rushing to your aid just because you are a support character. Because you die faster, opponents will most likely come after you first. Not because they feel you are a threat but because you die the easiest.

Since there are "lots" of them, name more than 10. Bring evidence. How often they do well in PvP, the amount of alchemy they have, the condition of their weapon, etc.

You must do not understand the point of Silkroad. PvP is the main point of the game. The Triangular conflict is a big PvP situation. You only train to gain levels so you can PvP.

Once again, gear is greater than all. Any build with around 52 str and int on their character can do well in PvP since the average player will not achieve that much.

Its not just a game to some people. Those reasons you applied above do not apply to everyone. A good reason why people make pure str's is because they don't want to die easy. To them, that is not fun.

I intend to make a guid that there are only bowers, coz they own in guild war, mass war

I support basically everything Da has written. I have made my own guide, I can sort of relate to what it must be like to have a guide turn into a heated discussion about bow hybrid vs. not bow hybrid, and I must say I personally have never really lvled up my bow hybrid that much, because it was my char on Oasis back in March 2006 and I only got to lvl 1x or so before I became frustrated of dying and moved to Venice
I am sure this would be a good PvE build, and maybe quite good in guild wars and/or killing uniques too. But, as Da stated, the int bow hybrid has less dmg than a spear hybrid, along with less hp. It also has no shield for defense and block like the sword hybrid. It does have attack rating, but it also doesn't have any effects which can save an INT builds life, such as KD or stun.

everyone should stop posting cause this is getting really long.. and its a waste of time to banter back and forth.

+1

please lock this topic everything is said..

and you are true, because of people like that Columbine happened, Counterstrike killing in RL in Germany happened etc.. there are lots of wierdos and sickos playing games and being frustrated and then do sick stuff in RL..


But this is just a game, PVP is not the point of the game, and you can make whatever build you want and that is my opinion..

admin please lock this topic enough said about this..

agree with that !
a game is a game ! nothing else

JADE UR BUILD SOUNDS HORRIBLE lol a str glavie/blade will pwn a 80 80 bow any day ur not all str so ur crit is less a int spaer or int s/s would prolly pwn it to if u want to be a awesome archer look at hellshapts bow guide ppl

@Slayer007 whatever dude... i think i can go my own way, dont need to do what ppl tell me
this char is still doing a great job so i keep with it

LOL it seams that all new users of this forum starts with this topic. and first thing they got to say is flame or an insult..

But hey it makes this topic one of the most popular, wow 19 pages..jade you should be proud if nothing more it is an impresive number

+1 agreed. i myself keep checking this thread of whats new. nice one jade.

hehe yeah it seems like that !
but ok if they think my guide is shit and that i sux too then they should leave this thread....

i cant wait till Wind will post his guide here !
i think he will posts some vids of his char etc.

@Jadekiss :
Just what is the server your Wind guy is on again ?
You said most of the time you PMed Wind he didn't reply. Does that mean he only kept grinding/botting ? He only plays the game for that ? And ... may I ask what do you know about Wind anyway ? You kept talking about him, just like a living God, and sadly most of us here didn't know if he's really existed or not.
One more thing, I tried this build a long time ago even before you put the guide here. And guess what ? I can't just survive a Giant. Oh yes I always compare a Giant fight and a PvP. Why ? When PvP you use all technique against your enemy (1vs1), and when fighting Giants you are surrounded by mobs and no matter what build you are, pure int-str, hybrid... you have to tank, i mean you MUST tank. And a hybrid bow just can't tank because you don't have enough "something that ppl already know". Of course you can grind without/avoid fighting Giants, but what's the challenge ?
Here I only talk about fighting Giants, just because Giants are only mobs, and they're stupid. But if you can't survive a stupid threat, how can you survive an intelligent one like PvP ? The build is only decent good for PvE imo.
You are now thinking about my gear ? yea my gear is shit. And to win, a hybrid bow must have uber gears. But you, yea you, said that game is only for fun. I gladly tell you that average users that play game for fun will never have uber gears, so how can they win anyway ? Keep losing and del the char are they suppose ? Play for fun ? why not choose another hybrid type and still can PvP for fun with stupid gears ?
Anyway this build is only DECENT PvE, for ppl that play game just for grinding, making gold to buy good gears for their main char.
Oh I'm sorry for being talkative like this. Just want to ask you a question: Can you post any evidence about Wind for us ?
You are his big fan, maybe he'll share his build to you. And don't forget to ask him for a signature.

@Charlotte ..ROFL hmm pls just wait some days more WInd will post his Guide + Vids (I think) in thos forum he told me !
im not his big fan i just respect him that he owns with that build here
how come that you cant kill a giant ? i can kill one on lvl 24 with mastery 15 o.O ?
but ok nvm i dont want to discuss with you here, blaming, flaming is already enough in this thread
so just wait a dew days more and we will see

With respect this build bow is sux believe me bow was made for farming except that if u still using u mean that u need to have fun with monsters only but in job and pvp u will be mangyang to others just choose if u want to have the fun avoid bow

I didn't say that I can't kill Giants, just potting like mad and nothing can kill you. Okay let's wait, hopefully that Wind guy will show up.
And I have to tell you this, A Hyuongno Giant (lv24) won't prove anything to a build. Try the Bunwang Giants, but I guess you aren't not that high lv yet ? What makes you think you can survive a Bunwang Giant with 5+ bunwangs around ? Just lv to 45 and see it for yourself.
And, before I forget, let me tell you that my reply is NOT a flame. People here that against your build, they just want you to prove what good about the build. And you're the only one see them as flames. Don't be so kiddish. Why would we have to flame you ? Someone give us $$$ for flaming you you think ?

lol i dont understan something, i am lvl 60 with gap 8 now and i have good gear (and playing this game just for fun), next i have a hybrid with lots of int pts and bonuses (i am puting now str bonuses on everything and all str points till lvl 80 from now on). so my balance now is phy 65% and int 100% so I am like full int and i dont die from giants or mobs or in jobs (never going alone though on jobs). My pots are set on 60% HP and 30% MP, and farming now on edimus and shakrams.
I have bow lvl 60 +3 allmost full blue crit 10, and using protector 7 deg all +3 and blue (no sos).. and i dont die.. so how do you die or loosing 2 much pots from mobs????????

And dont asume that in PvP you are up against "inteligent" enemy (in most cases no, giant is more inteligent)

Read the porst carefully and you will see that om definitly not the only one here who think that is a flame (thread)
i never said that you are flaming here i just said lets stop falming/blaming
that means stop discussing about the ..... HP shit i think you arent the only one here who mentioned yet and before we are insulting each other lets stop it !
nothing else just wait for the guide of Wind and thats all

@judaiskariot lmao xD nice one

Yes i get your point bu there is not a single full int or hybrid (any build and weapon that can tank all those mobs without decent gear that is- so it means that everyone needs to be full str or i got it wrong??)

And I dont get it.. there are lots of tabs (drops) and alchemy is realy easy to do.. well i know that it is little expensive but if it succed it is awsame.. so i want to give a tip to people "do alchemy" cause it realy pays up.. and you can get more money from pimped gear (even if you spend money on pimping it), cause pimped gear costs more..

So people don be lazy do alchemy, and as i said before bowman dont need to tank, run, it is called retreat and it doesnt make you a coward, but if you want to play easier make a full str glavie it rocks.. So take a pick :)
