Ask a Bowman Thread.

I'm at a bit of a stand-still with my training. I know at my level (122) that Newties are best, but I play during peak hours when finding a map or party is nearly impossible.

I need alternatives.

I have 3173 HP, which means that I'm a one hit kill from both Skeles and Guardians. I have no intention to blood or wash.

My fourth jobs skills are allocated in the following manner:
7 SE
1 BE
1 Hurricane

I also have level 29 Hawk.

I've tried going up to Guardians with HP equipment, but since I can't attack with them, I get owned pretty badly if I mis-step and fall off.

I also pretty much levelled up until 119 at Typhons. They're slow, but slightly tolerable and the maps are decently vacant. I read in another post that another BM had a point in Pheonix, and that it was helpful here. Would investing a point into Pheonix for this spot be worthwhile?

How's the EXP doing the bottom of Peak (party/solo)? Is it do-able at my level, with level 1 DB? I have maxed Puppet I can stick in mobs. Or is there a place on the top ledge I can place him? And if there is, is it safe from Skeles, since I still will be blasted and killed if I'm sharing a map.

How should I allocate my skill points for the next few levels to open up some new spots?
