did anyone try that befor? i mean, theres lots of bows (epic, legend) that just screams "shoot fasttt" XD

i games like roseon, lineage i could decide either to be a slow- yet powerfull bowman or a fast and yet using lower atk power..
in this game all the bows are "very slow" but still, i notiiced that if i put enough +speed then i can shoot in an avarege~ speed.
so it could be awesome to use a bow that can shoot fast~
at the moment i'm training my assassin so itll take me some time to start this fast-bow build.. so i wanted to ask if anyone rly tried that befor? and what do you suggest to do to improve my tought

more speed means more dps in TQ the faster u get the bow more DPS u will do

what is DPS excactly?

i alwayz wanted to know cause it never effects my attack or anything in the game

DPS stands for damage per second. It's only a ratio of your damge over one second. It's to help people with really low or really fast speed to know if they are doing good average damage

the build is doing good

i'm just lvl 14 and already starting to use the potential of the fast bowman XD
i'm already shooting at a avareg rate.
after level 33 i have a good epic bow + trojan set + high speed% enchantments

i will really be fast when ill get the legendery bowman set.. but its gonna take some time =\

btw i will soon finish the hunting mastery ledge and i'm wondering what 2nd mastery to choose, i tought about warfare cause it has 1 skill htat gives me offensive+speed but thats it.. and maybe rouge for the bleeding dmg skills??

:laugh:

funny
so i have brigand around lvl42, epic, no typhon farming... and my attack speed is around 150+%, dps 500+ ... +load of bleeding/poison/vitality/piercing dmg lil later

i must say, that bosses on epic are easier, than bosses on normal for me - ok automaton hero or how is called that construct around Knosses killed me 1x by accident, but others *common* bosses, telkine? no chance

but hey, on normal u dont need so fast attacks... cuz most times 1shot=1death (except constructs...) +i liked using schrapnel for fun on lower lvls

my archer is uber killer for beasts/beastmans and ok for all mobs with blood
+am using dreadfull charms (more dmg to demons/undeads/magical +20%resist to same mobs), so with whole and full marksmanship root, it really hurts

but there is 1 thing - next time hunting+spirit is better - u will get anti undead buffs +slowing aura (rogue has slowing thingy in ench poison root too), only disadvantage is, that u will loose Mandrake, which is really strong:mischief: (and my only maxed skill from rogue

)

disadvantages for archer
- low hp, low energy (just using some ënergy leech essence etc), low resists -> so u are fast and deadly, but u must stay away (mandrake helps a lot, except bosses and some another weird mobs) - other way, u can die easily by 2 hits, but its a deal

- no int, low str (250+) -> u cant buy armors from merchs - they alltimes want higher str/int, most times i cant buy ANY armors from them:speech:

and my stuff is really funny - Wardens helm and boots (heh i know, thats not for brigand, but its giving me highest possible Def and bonus sets resists...), some weird armor with +15% and essence +20% to total speed and some runed bow (with art. bowstring +34% to attack speed, some bonuses to vitality/piercing dmg aswell), cuz my 4epic bows are weak....
and i will be using those craps long time, at least until i will find Trackers set
