Ask a Bowman Thread.

I have a level 90 metus. Is it worth the str adding ? given its clean ? Im currently using an 81attk gandiva.

Depends on how much STR/Attack/Dex you have. I don't think it's worth sacrificing dex for str, but that's just me.

Get one of the (I assume) super common level 80 maple bows, they don't ask for str and if you want you can get the set and get some extra stats.

MSEA bro.

Oops, but does it really matters? I don't think the little extra damage you gain either way is enough to justify any choice there, I mean once you get to level 120 you most likely will never touch it again aside from using echo and using it as a mule.

Yeah, like I said. I don't think funding a wind breaker is really that beneficial or anything. Training is easy and you can just save money by not funding it at all.

So ill just stick with my gandiva then.. thanks guys

Quick question:
What (empress) overall would be better?
100 dex 4att OR 68dex 14att?

With approximately 240 attack (when VL DBGs come out I might be at around ~300 total attack) and ~200% dex (+/- 20%, not done cubing)

With that much dex I'm pretty certain the one with higher Weapon Attack would be best.

3rd job Mercedes... I said that if the Thief revamp came my NL would essentially be dead and the Mercedes would be the new NL in my character arsenal. Assuming new NL sucks as much as it seems like it will (lol @ taking away all the unique NL 3rd/4th job skills..)

So I'm level 82 1/2 on my Mercedes.

a) When is the rush + stabby arrows attack worth using?
b) when is leap tornado worth using?
c) besides those the 4 arrow attack is what to use right?

Also, I have a 117 atk clean lv.110 DBG from the legendary event (105 + 12 pot). Is that worth scrolling or should I just buy a 120+ weapon.

What unique skills? They lose Shadow Meso and Meso Up in 3rd and that Ninja thing in 4th.
I'm sorry for not answering your question but I don't play Mercedes, I'm just curious about this opinion.

They lose half of Alchemist (the increase in buff durations, aka the useful half - percentage based potions are still better than 170% improved non-percentage potions), Shadow Meso, Meso Up, and Avenger in 3rd.

Haha really though, 6 new 4th job skills, I don't want to buy the equivalent of TT30 again. Six times. Just to get the same mastery skill and w.atk bonus skill that every other 4th job class has now. Plus a 30 second cooldown Ult, and a couple buffs to 3rd job skills.

Aerial Barrage, 3rd job skill that links from Rush is worth using if you can OHKO with the combo (Rush + Barrage), or if the monster has high HP and can be instant-killed, i.e. PQ monsters.

I used Leap Tornado as I went side to side in a flat map to train since it was more entertaining than purely using Strike Dualshot, but Strike Dualshot is more useful in most situations. Good maps for Leap Tornado are the Pirate Map, and there are some abusable slopes that you can spam it while standing in Leafre. I think it's one of the few things that really depend on good timing, since you can cover good distance while attacking with Leap Tornado. If you're really good at it, it's possible to literally match Acrobatic Jump's horizontal movement speed when using Leap Tornado with it.

On further usage, Aerial Barrage is too unreliable compared with Leap Tornado. I can make Aerial Barrage work about 1/5 of the time, and it doesn't work at all in macros, whereas Leap Tornado in a macro fires automatically as soon as you've jumped high enough.

Acrobatic Jump + Leap Tornado is also more fun than waiting for Aerial Barrage.

I've never had problems with Aerial Barrage. Just spam the shortcut for it while Rising Rush is doing its thing.

How do those of you who play Marksmen finish Mu Lung Dojo? I always lose to Lilynouch, both pre- and post- revamp.

I have 94% DEX, 91% Ignore Defense, a 60k Range (buffed), 10% (from Demon Slayer thing) Boss Damage, 12,888 HP with Spirit Link and 79% Critical Rate. Is it merely a matter of getting more %Boss or are there other things for me to be looking into?

If your problem is dying you need to be more careful on each boss. Dodge Lilynouch/Leviathan ground attacks with jump attacks or just jump if you're not confident. For Dodo you can dodge his attack/manipulate it to go over your head if you're really meticulous but it's more taxing on time.

Of course damage helps, that should be obvious (more % boss, % dex, % total damage, etcetc). Another thing that might help is a max HP pot if you're still having trouble surviving.

 Spoiler

No boss damage (except for card bonus, which is only like 3%), only level 4 Maple Warrior and I have NEVER done Horntail before (technically I have but that was during the Vista crash issues).

My question is this; Is soloing Horntail doable with my stats? If not, what about duoing with a Corsair (same level) who has maybe half my attack range (but has level 30 MW)?

I wasn't aware their attacks were dodgable. I suppose I'll try it again but in CYMK I need under 20 minutes to place.

I feel like I've spent enough money on this game over the years, sooo....

As a level 100 Wind Breaker, I have no idea where to train. I've been at Kru and Pirates since level 90 and it's getting a bit slow now. I was thinking about NLC Aliens but those maps are quite crowded and I usually can't find a channel.

Does anyone have a suggestion for where I can train?

Aliens is the best spot till 115 till you can go to LHC. But if you solo train like I do, it's the best spot till 12x

Pirates until you match their level and then possibly try ghost pirates/Dual ghost pirates/Spirit vikings, though the latter is more for the high 11x's If you're bored, then kentaurus dungeon is nice, but again, Aliens is almost always better (they give more exp per kill than any monster that's level 12-135 >.>).

Since this hasn't been answered yet; yes you can probably duo. You need either Decent HB from a nebulite or whatever or an Alchemy potion that increases your HP. I still died from Seduce with 16k HP or so I think.

Hm, sad to say, turns out my boyfriend won't be duoing with me, as he lags too much. ;_; So I'm going to go ahead and assume that soloing is a no-go?
