Is it worth making a strless bow/xbow? And if so, which one? I like marksmen a lot so I'm leaning towards that direction But I doubt I'll make it to 4th :/. Pros cons? Equips I need, Fundings, EVERYTHING I can't find a good guide on it.

StrLess w/good equips > LowStr w/good equips this applies only until the LowStr can wield a well scrolled 90's weapon or better

Well then can't i convert to lowdex at like.. 80? Str equips seem expensive :/. I guess that's IF i make it that far. So what about my other questions? Which should i choose? Pros&cons?

You can convert eventually Str Equips are not only expensive they are rare If you like marksman go with that EDIT: if you are going StrLess you dont even need Str equips, you just need to get a hold of maple xbows alot of these are old but you can see the differences right away link

Wait a second according to this damage ranges it appears that strless have less damage? correct me? Thanks btw

Strless have less dmg probably because they're weraring str packed equips to equip a weapon that requires str. If you had a good scrolled maple kandiva, you would just need all dex quip and have the godliest dmg in the bowman class.

its all about how you get your equips, most of the strless from those could be A LOT better. Thats just one of those things with bowmen though it isnt a major damage jump, its noticeable and if done well then its major but only up to a certain point

I only plan to have dex equips till 80 when i'll convert to low str to equip higher xbows. So my damage will be good?

one of the things you wont be complaining about is your damage as a bowman, you will most likely complain about our low HP before even thinking about the damage

Just go normal str and stack up dex equips.

I already have a regular str xbowman. I want to make a strless

Low str ftw f3

A strless bowman does not use str weapons. If you are a strless hunter- you will use the lvl 10 bow till lvl 35 then the maple bow till 43, soul searcher till 64 and then the kandiva till you convert to normal/low str.

str is only required to hold bows and xbows + it increases knock back rate but otherwise its pretty useless i suppose to a bowman if a strless bowman can get up to lv 35 he can then equip the maple bow and so on and by lv64 the bowman should get Maple Kandiva Bow and scroll it so that it can keep up with the other hgiher lv bows otherwise there should be no problem apart from the fact that it will take some time b4 reaching lv 35

Saucepanz 06/11/09 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

I can make it to 35 quite easy. Im just wondering whether it's a worthwhile class. And what to do about converting to low str and when And what I'll need. (Aside from maple xbows) I'll be extremely grateful if i can get that information
