So for my Hunter my friend is giving me a 100+ Maple Kandiva, and I'm wondering if this is end-game worthy. If so, I might remain STRless, if not I'll adjust my AP build accordingly. So I'm asking of what you guys think. Is it good enough to stay above or on the same level as others later on, or will I get blown out of the dust in later levels? Oh btw if its not I'll be capping my STR at 55 and weild a Nisrock.

It would be better to get a Nisrock later, by far. Strless bowmen don't have as much of an advantage over reg/low str bowmen. Also, Hurricane is the same speed whether your bow is fast, normal, or slow.

Yeah, for a Kandiva to be a end-game bow, I'd say it would have to be purple... With that bow you'll probably out damage most Rangers until +100, but then you'll need to convert to Low-Str as usual.

Strless gets boring at 3rd job cuz you can't use the other crossbows.
