LOL at subtitles. But nicely written =)

GMSInfighter · 2009-01-05, 10:47 AM

Oh nice, make a sniper one now!

I laughed out loud at "Moar. I R Copious."

Where's my 29 Hawk 30 Inferno 12 MB? Hurt

I think this is actually enough to replace a Bowmaster guide. Our 1st through 3rd job skills are just like that. All you really need is 3 Blessing, Eye, Crit, Bow Booster, Soul Arrow, 5 MB, Arrow Rain, and 15 Hawk. I know someone who stopped adding SP into skills at level 9x because "they're all pineappleing useless." LOL. We sat around for 5 minutes waiting for him to make a decision when he was advancing to 4th job.

Shidoshi · 2009-01-05, 07:34 PM

my 2nd job build went on in a strange way. Guess I really didn't care about not having booster and soul arrow. I got:

30-1 IA
31-3 mastery
32-3 mastery
33-3 mastery
34-3 mastery
35-3 mastery
36-3 mastery
37-1 mastery (19), 2 IA
38-3 IA
39-3 IA
40-3 IA
41-3 IA
42- then i came to my senses and looked at a guide and saw that they recommended getting booster and SA early =D 3 booster
43- 2 booster, 1 SA
44-1 SA, 1 booster, 1 IA
45-3 IA
46-3 IA
47-3 IA
48-3 IA
49-2 IA (max), 1 SA
50-3 booster

and I'm level 50 now. I consider that building the character like this was quite beneficial considering how strong IA is now at low levels. It made possible for me to train on mobbed maps much earlier.

Technolink · (This post was last modified: 2009-01-05, 09:01 PM by Technolink.)

On 3rd job>Yes I want to train there> Get 6 puppet before eagle. You stop it at 5 puppet when you could easily tack another point there to have more options.

Lol @ no FA anymore. It's just that outdated eh?

Great idea Sap =P, I love it!

I'm trying to dig up my DS vs crit chart, but I think that 1 DS then 20 crit was the most damage efficient (as well as money efficient next to normal shot).

20 DS vs 1 DS+20crit were the same, just reversed. I'd suggest using the 1+20 build even if you are funded.

Edit: Weird, can't find my post, but the graph was on my imageshack account. http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/5828/graph2nk7.png

Definitely 1 ds then crit for funded or mildly rich.

Dusk · 2009-01-05, 09:48 PM

I did 1 DS and 20 Crit as well. DS doubles the effect of Crit, I don't see why you wouldn't get at least one point into it. Pots are cheap as hell, even for a brand new player. The "training" quests where you kill pigs or green mushrooms or whatever it is for archers gives you enough pots to last to level 20+ at least.

I guess. It was a combination of that + complications with the ending build. I didn't want to spend too much time messing with 2nd job when only a minority would even consider FA anyway.

Make a sniper one now Tongue

GMSInfighter Wrote:Make a sniper one now

A Sniper one would only have a few differences, like:

"Do you consider stun useful?"

Answer A: Yes, I love it!
Answer B: No, I want to rely on my Articuno!

Despite that, I would also like to see a Sniper one Tongue

DjDisko · 2009-01-06, 04:40 AM

lol, I like it. The part about nib's hogging Newtie's maps made me lol hard.

Stereo · 2009-01-06, 09:46 AM

What about the AR-less Inferno build? Do you like burning motherufckers? Don't want a mob skill that aggros stuff behind you?

Stereo Wrote:What about the AR-less Inferno build? Do you like burning motherufckers? Don't want a mob skill that aggros stuff behind you?

Has anyone done that build? I like Inferno, but only because having both AR and Inferno increases the versatility I have while mobbing (and it looks sexy). Only having Inferno without AR is kind of dumb 0_0

Although that's all I had until level 9290, when I put my first point in AR.

Dusk · 2009-01-06, 10:03 AM

oops delete

yep... as an avid inferno supporter... going AR-less is indeed "dumb"

on topic
interesting way of putting it...

although my 2nd job build was a bit more "extreme" to the
"Minimum range bothering you at all?

OMGFYES it's killing me ;_;"
where i got PKB even before 2nd point in arrow bomb...

and no i don't regret it... although now i might if i CPQ train but i won't... ever... restart... a bowman ... EVER ... again... even if i lose my BM right now... it's just too time consuming >.<

actually, inferno is capable of hitting behind you o.0

and... AR-less builds will just crash and burn. there is no reason for them to exist.

Styles · 2009-01-06, 01:26 PM

i suggest arrowbomb build MonkeyForstII,Huntersheaven~

Kevvl · 2009-01-06, 01:41 PM

I got stuck at level 101 because I can't decide which is less useful. MB, Thrust, and 21+Hawk...hard choice, I don't really like either of them.

Actually, I did PKB first too. Thing is, with the current leveling options available, it's just not worth it anymore.
