Ive always went mastery with my existing classes, but i was thinking of going arrow bomb first, because id rather cpq to lvl 45-50 and i think arrow bomb will help out the most, since its a mob skill. Another reason i have is that, sometimes the rooms have a lot of mobs which can be hard to get around with just double shotting the whole time i know room 5/6 isnt like that, but im talking for the other rooms also, since im still only lvl 31. What do you guys think?

Do you mean Iron Arrow...? Arrow Blow is first job?

He means arrow bomb i think, anyway, unless you want to keep your unstable damage, i'd say get mastery first, it's only 7 lvls anyway.

i think bomb would be useful cuz if u dont stun then u will just "punch" them =)

thats for crossbowman I believe. your right about the (only 7lvls away) but, seriously ive been doing pretty bad with cpq...with having to move around, get one or two shots, then have to run away again...well put it this way, do you guys think maybe arrow bomb will make it a bit easier cause lately ive had no luck on getting wins...and the matches are fair battles...confused a little bit right now. hmm or maybe just a few points in it for a quick stun?

I would get five Mastery, just a little Booster, then every level put two Bomb and one Mastery. You should put your first point on Arrow Bomb though. Or... actually I'm not sure. e.o That's what I did on my Bandit with Savage Blow and Mastery.

hmm gee i think i should go with mastery...seems to me more would say go mastery first then arrow bomb, and well more in mastery = faster kills, so maybe i wont actually get mobbed like crazy if im killing as fast as they are spawning.

In room 3/4 you'll nearly always get mobbed as a bowmen, the horses are just 2 fast for you to not get mobbed, learn to live with it.

well with a high enough lvl in arrow bomb, i think it *is* possible to not get mobbed by those trojans.

i think archers just suck in PQ's in general until AR/AE but i would at get SOME Mastery cause an unstable DMG Range is REALLY annoying I never CPQed on my archer as i was too high a level, BUT w/out AR/AE PQs are tough. Ever Consider PKB? and maxed bomb = 60% stun which isn't all too good definitely go for mastery first, or at least SOME

No, you cannot not max mastery. Don't hybrid, don't do any half builds. So go out there and get 19 or 20 mastery right now. Archers are known to be weak until level 37, if you don't max mastery first, you might be weak until like level 45.

Yeah I just got 1 arrow bomb at level 30, then went with mastery all the way till 19. Then I did arrow bomb. Just trade wins man! I got from level 29 to 38 today. by cpqing (after 29 of course) using the trade wins method.
