As the big bang seems to be closer to GMS than I thought, I was looking at the possibility to use the SP reset to make a build that doesn't use the conventional attacks learned in jobs 1-3 (double shot strafe and so on) but rather puts that SP into the buffs and passive skills you do use in your 4th job. That is why Im wondering if i should still include strafe, i know hurricane replaces it but do you guys who are Bowmasters ever use it for knock back power or anything else otherwise ill be leaving it low and use the sp from it in other 3rd job skills.

Paps bombs and stuff like that is the only use for it I've heard that could be considered important

[quote] Ralh3 : Paps bombs and stuff like that is the only use for it I've heard that could be considered important [/quote] Yeah... only reason I can think of is pap bombs, to 1hko them, since hurricane treats each arrow as a single hit, but the 4 arrows in strafe are considered one huge hit.

well what would you consider more important in 4th job, 20 in inferno and 21 strafe with mortal blow maxed at 20 or mix it around with say 30 strafe 17 inferno and 14 in mortal blow or just max inferno and strafe at the cost of mortal blow?

We still use strafe, but many BMs opt to not raise strafe to 30. Some keep it at 21 or perhaps even lower. It all really depends on how much you're willing to gimp yourself in 3rd job unless you have resets. As for me, my strafe is maxed.

Mortal blow and inferno over strafe in my opinion
