So I always thought being low str but still equiping high level bows was the best option considering all options (strless, reg str, low str) had equal funding. For those who didn't see on spadows blog (dunno how to throw up links but im sure alot of you know the webiste) they released new level 77 maple weapons for the maple anniversary. So I was just wondering is the new level 77 no strength required bow is goin' to make strless better in end game? btw if your to lazy to check out the stats its: lvl 77 requirement, 84 weapon att average, gives 13 speed, gives 150 hp, attack speed is fast (5), slots 7 btw definetly check out the new weapons they look totally.....bad....ass....no joke lolthx in advanced guys

[quote] Kevvl : Lemme put it this way: A level 64 Crossbow with 5 30%'s and 2 60%'s will still eventually beaten out by a mediocre scrolled Reverse. For Bowmen, Pirates, and Thieves, Low Stat is still better. [/quote] That's a bit of an over-dramatization. The comparison is better for weapons where attack speed either doesn't matter (hurricane) or is maxed anyway (claws). Someone who goes all-out with dex equipment probably wouldn't have more than 40 str in total, so it would require a reverse crossbow of probably at least 16 attack higher just to match the damage range (which is pretty easy when weapons are equally scrolled, but they probably won't be considering most people don't throw 30s at reverse items until they land 4-5). I would say the new maple items make going strless more competitive than it is currently, but only a little bit moreso. If that crossbow was fast 4 I'd probably wash my points of str into HP and go back to dex gear lol. Anyway before I go completely off-track, strless forever isn't a good idea, particularly for bowmasters.

I'm not 100% and this is off the top of my head, but Hurricane's speed is unaffected by bow speeds, so at best, the new Maple Weapon would last until 120. 18 w.atk is worth the 115 str if you scroll both to a high amount of w.atk and go low str.

StrLess is the best way to go, UNTIL, 10Xish, then, LowStr is best adviced. Full STRless easily get outdamaged in the last 13X's, unless your Kandiva is godsent, but still, 10X is when you want to start thinking of pumpin' STR. From there on, it's best adviced to get a couple Nisrocks or whatever Bow tickles your pickle and just mass scroll. With such a handsome weekly income, you'll have a great bow in no time. As for equips, always stick with dex equips, re-sale value of Str archer equips is pretty bad. Hope this helped~ Even with the Lv77 weapons, LowStr is still the way to go, in LATER levels. Just compare with other BMs if you really care about damage THAT much. I doubt GMS will get these new MapleWeps though.

I am mad. The axe is the same as before. All the other weapons look awesome. Another reason that axe saders get cheated since nexon was too lazy to make a new axe and instead copy pasta it in.
