I had a conversation with my guildies and my friend (who is a lvl146 BM) said Inferno is useless and thrust is better. Before he told me that some very well known Bowmaster's told me that Thrust is a waste of SP. PS: I find thrust very useless when I know how to control a Mount. Post Below the reasons why on of the skills is better

Inferno is only a luring skill for most of ranger/bm now. I choose to put inferno 1, max thrust and mb lvl 19. Thrust is a better choice since you dont have to get on hog, get off, get on, get off get on get off and until the end of ms... while with thrust u only need 10 speed to get 140 and its easy: i get 6 speed from my overall and 4 from my shoes... And personally i prefer like this then wasting 20-50m for a mount. And with thrust u can pot urself while walking and hitting monster without get off the mount then ride on mount and blah bla blah. THRUST FTW ^^

Check the Archer Skill Build Guide.

spiritrival said: "Check the Archer Skill Build Guide." I don't think he was asking what he should go. I'm pretty sure he's going Inferno. This is just what we have and why we think it's helpful, not what he should get. The Archer Skill Build Guide won't help. EDIT: I think that Inferno is almost useless. I only use it to mob. Maxing it won't do much better damage than Arrow Bomb. Do you want to get on and off your mount at say Newties? It's easier to avoid that and have max speed from a passive skill. I think Thrust is far more useful than Inferno. Faster walking=faster training=faster EXP.

Should I do 15 Thrust 15 Inferno? Right now I got 12 Inferno :P. Theres a big debate going around on Inferno VS Thrust I don't really know which skill to max since they both are useless to me :P

Thrust all the way.

spiritrival said: "Nope, he's asking for help on his build." Nope you're wrong. He's asking for opinions, not some guy (you) to tell him to check a bowman guide. Also, I went thrust. Honestly, I never use inferno (maybe when fire-weak monsters come out later on), but even then, I'll probably Arrow Bomb for the stun, and Hurricane away. I went for thrust. Sure, you can mount on and mount off, but you can't pot during those mount on/off, and risk dying. Rather than getting a skill I'll most likely never use (Inferno) i'd rather go for a passive movement that gives me passive 100% Haste (I have 100% haste from my bow/overall/shoe-jump FS)

sadz said: "Nope you're wrong. He's asking for opinions, not some guy (you) to tell him to check a bowman guide." He can think for himself. It'll be easier for him to think for himself if he has more information about the skills and their potential uses. That's why I told him to check that guide in particular.

But both skills are useless... So I decided 15 Inferno 15 Thrust.

RedLobsta said: "But both skills are useless... So I decided 15 Inferno 15 Thrust." This is why I told you to check the guide... 16 Inferno is where the range increases. 15 Inferno is no more useful than 1 Inferno. You'll only be using them to lure.

spiritrival said: "Nope, he's asking for help on his build." He's asking us for opinions on both the skills. OP: Like Spirit said, 15 is no better than 1. Even if you don't plan on using Thrust and mounting on and off, dump the points into them. Better than dumping points into Inferno.

cruzazul1996 said: "He's asking us for opinions on both the skills." To get help with his build. Eh, whatever. Either way, the guide will help him learn something new, even if he didn't need it.
