Hey all,
I'm looking to have some bows imbued/modified for my newbie stealth archer and wanted to run some properties by you... but I think bow properties depends on the way you intend to use the bows.
Is it best for a stealth archer to use their heavy xbow for ONE dismount shot, and then switch to a compound for Armor Ignore?
If so I’d envision the Heavy to be built for a single shot dismount with the heaviest damage possible, and it might look like this:
-Velocity
-Hit Fireball (interrupts I'm told)
-SSI in case I miss the dismount, or should I have Mana Leech?
-Damage Increase
-Hit Lower Defense (so your next shot will have better chance of hitting)
The compound bow for AI would be for SUSTAINED damage over time and might look like:
-Velocity
-Hit Fireball
-Mana Leech
-Swing Speed Increase
-Damage Increase
The Compound is even harder. I'd like Balanced here because I lag a LOT and it's hard for me to use pots in the heat of battle - and no I don't use 3rd party utils so I don't have an easy disarm, drink pot, re-arm solution. I'd also like to fit Hit Lower Defense here to make my shots land easier. I will have the healing skill though but I'm not sure if that'd be enough.
Please let me know what you think of bows like this or if I should change things around.
Appreciate the info,
Thanks
