Full Str Bow few Questions

Hi,

i got a few Questions for a Full Str Bow.

1: Garment or Protector for PVE?

2: There is a new Skill called "Dragon Scale Series". Something for PVE?

3: the last time i played, was at the 90 Level Cap. And now theres a Cap with 120! Does somebody git there a good PVE Build / Guide?

1. for PVE i would suggest you Garment.
2. Yes, it shares damage, its like the pain buff from warrior, just with another name. (you can buff 2 players at the same time)
3.
Bow Skills:

Anti Devil Bow Series (max them)
Arrow Combo Attack Series (more a pvp skill, but i would suggest you max it, most do)

Autumn Wind Arrow Series (I dont rly like it, optional)

Explosion Arrow Series (max them)
Strong Bow Series (max them!)
Mind Bow Series (max them if you want to lure, if not, then its optional)

Buffs:
Fire Shield Series (max)

Flame Body Series (max)
Fire Wall Series (more an pvp skill, but usefull for high lvl uniques, optional)
Flame Wave Series (dont skill it)
Fire Combustion Series (pvp skill)
Flame Devil Force Series Passive (max)

Cold Buffs:
Only skill: Frost Guard Series (max)
Ice Wall (optional, same as firewall)
Snow Shield (keep it at 20% c/o)

Greetz,
Ace

(its just my personal opinion how to skill for PVE, based on experience)

And what about Lightning?!

well, max the speed buff, the passive buff, magical buff, parry buff.

dont max the nukes, imbue, lion shout.

I suggest protector

Hello.
Garment is okay. You have the cold passiv and Frost Guard series and for trouble situation 20% snow shield.

Example:
When you play a few hours every day, over the week or even over months. this 20% speed from Garment, or 10% more speed as protector... spares many time.

Garment is good for almost everything as bower.. fgw, fortress war & pvp..

lightning is better too at imbue. if you completes quest always. you will not cost much time at killing coz one you lure bcoz lightning(decreases enemy's parry rate and increase your attack rate, your attack will also connect at the same time). your explosion arrow series will be so usefull.

lightning lowers enemy parry ratio, but it does not increase your attack rate.
You have a better chance to do the maximum damage, yes.

Your attack rate will stay the same !

Fire imbue for solo grinding
Cold Imbue for Envys and pvp :)
Lightning Imbue for Share partys at 101+, cause they spawn very fast and the imbue just have a 5 meter range.

And as a Int Bower you will "over power" every Wizzard, cause of this splash Damage. together with lightning nukes which have a 10 meter ranges you hit every mob twice.
Berserker Arrow, Mind Bow Series, lightning Nukes and Meteor are the Best Aoe Skills you can use a full int bow.
Imagine a 2% ignore Avatar Dress or 3% :)

For a weak party cold imbue is also okay, cause not every share party i was in, had 8/8 members.

I'm in a Party with a new Char, and there is a Full Int Bower Lvling us. Now i saw everything xD

Full INT bowers / Protector Equip. are good in PvE because of magical skill dmg and high crit.
In PvP might get yea in trouble as full int only if your using snowshield and even with snowshield its hard to PvP as INT.

firewall for rogues / warriors
crystal walls for wiz / warlocks
phantom walk to keep a distance
knock back, shot, knock back etc :)

it was possible to pvp in 110th cap i had one with nova +4-+5 set

When iam at my cap and have many problems in pvp, i will switch to force & Recovery for a supporter build.
this build called also "chinese warlock" :)
