Guide : Chinese Bow (Pacheon)

Bow is class skill that provide RANGE attack. It can consider as a support class when it come to team play.

Bow has many strategy to play, which depend on individual whether how they want their bower to be. Below are the few bower strat :-

1. 70/70 Hybrid Bower
2. Pure STR Bower
3. Pure INT Bower (I won't discuss on this strat, but still it's just opposite of STR Bower)


1. 70/70 Hybrid Bower

Hybrid means that you are putting stats in both STR and INT into your stats. 70/70, in a word is call phy balance 70% mag balance 70%. How to do that? Take off all your equipment and start distributing your stats accordingly to 70% / 70%.

Hybrid Bower of this version is the most ultimate hybrid for bow. Hybrid Bower has many different play role.

Pacheon + Fire/Light - Max damage, High mag defence, High parry,

Pacheon + Light/Ice - Average damage, High phy defence, High parry, Advantages of snow shield

Pacheon + Fire/Ice - Max defence, Average damage, Bad parry (Best Strat)

Pacheon + Fire/Force - Average damage, High mag defence, Bad parry, Advantages of force kill

Pacheon + Ice/Force - High phy defence, Average damage, Advantages of force kill

Armor - Protector is a best choice, unless you wanna tank wizard, you can choose garment with abosolutely no problem ! But vs STR you are 100% dead !

Weakness - No snow shield = 100% dead ! When meeting Pure TYPE (If wearing Protector)

Strong - W Snow shield = Immortality !

FF LV 100 Average Damage (SunBow+7,STR 66/INT 66) - 26k - 29k on Mob Lv 98 & Crit @ 32k+ - 36k+ (Strong Will)

Conclusion-

Hybrid usually wear Protector to utilise both maximum defence on Mag & Phy, casting snow shield make him invulnerable for 60sec because of the stats INT, where allow him to have enough MP to cover the defence. In between this time, is the best time to kill opponent and capture opponent weaknesses especially Euro character, because Euro usually stuck with 1 type of armor type.


2. Pure STR Bower (The Strat I'm Playing)

Why pure? CRIT only generate from physical damage. In another word, you can only get double damage from physical. Most bower skill are crit based. Emphasizing on STR is a very good strat for bower.

STR Bower have many type of play role. But Fire is a MUST in STR Bower !

Pacheon + Fire/Light - Max damage, Max crit damage, High mag defence, High parry (Best Strat)
Pacheon + Fire/Ice - Max defence, Max crit damage, Bad parry, Advantages of Snow Shield
Pacheon + Fire/Force - Max crit damage, High mag defence, Bad parry, Advantages of force kill

Armor - Garment (Best Choice). An eg. of wizard LV 100 FF w LT lv 5 (+5 staff) cast meteor hit you at average 33k - 38k, in condition you are wearing Last Tier w all +5 at least and STR 66, INT 66. With Devil Spirit, you will have roughly 40k+, with that you are ensure surviving the first damage from killer wiz. So just calculate for other if you are wearing other?

Weakness - VS 2H STR + Cleric, usually you won't Win. Still depending on how you actually play the bower only if you are wearing Garment

Strong - Crit allow you to do double damage. Wiz is 100% dead (without buff) !

FF LV 100 Average Damage (SunBow+7,STR 66/INT 66) - 25k - 29k on Mob Lv 98 & Crit @ 37k+ - 40k+ (Strong Will)

Conclusion-
STR Bower is a very hard leveler. Despite on it low damage when you have only a normal bow, it will significantly reduce a lot on damage. Way to encounter this, you must ensure your set have full INT on it. With it, at least magical damage imbue will have bigger damage. CRIT is not always happen at time though. So STR Bower can consider very very hard leveling but disastrous damage in pvp because mostly will wear garment, and especially those INT character.

Hope it helps !
