Soul Bow SA?

I honestly think that the SA's on the soul bow suck! Is it really worth to add an SA? and if yes, which will be better?

Cost too much, I wouldn't get one, even if the SAs were good.

It's worth it. CS to xp with, QR to PvP and the added dmg for pvp is noticeable.

No, dont get one. Its not worth it....

If you find yourself having to rest for MP alot then it's prolly worth it for cheapshot. I dunno how strong the poison is, but for PVP I could see doing it if it were decent, since archers are so crit based, although most targets are going to be dead before the poison ticks twice anyhow. (hehe it would prolly work good on us dwarves and heavy armors though.. lol)

Plus there's the extra bit of damage to be considered in PvP from an A grade weapon w/ SA.

Even then though.. the cost is pretty ridiculous...

There is a 26dmg per nuke difference in PvP between a +16 Homokulus(188 m.atk) and a +3 SoM w/SA.

The SA is worth it but not worth buying a frigging crystal from those blood sucking farmers.

I could probably OE a SoM to +7 or 8 alot faster and easier then making a +16 Homokulus too.

I was looking more to the pvp aspect. I'm 99.9% of the time xp'ing in a mage party. Hardly run out of MP in PvE cause mages kill fast and they need to recharge every 4 minutes LoL.

If you have to buy the crystal it's not worth it. After you have the crystal, it takes 140 A gems to put the SA on the weapon.

I just wanted to hear some opinions on the SA's and which will be better pvp wise before I made a decision and get in our SA crystal list.

Quick recovery then, if you say you want it for pvp.
MP is not an issue, not even while exping I guess, there is always some friendly recharger by hand.

CS if you're a carebear. QR if you're a bad mother [censored].

I was told that Quick Recovery only applys to ur Skills like Stun Shot, DOuble Shot and Burst Shot...is this true?

I was told the same thing, no one can give me a 100% answer lol. I asked on blah and most of everyone there said it was the time in between your shooting, like atk speed, but then some people were saying skills, I never know what to believe anymore. Haha

That would be plain stupid if it only applies to special shots. I think it reduces the time between regular shots.

One of our archers got QR on his BoP a few months ago.. he hated it when he found that it only affected skill reuse timers.

Unfortunately he is no longer playing with us, but he swore up and down that it was only skills and not the regular fire rate of the bow.

I have no first hand experience with it myself, so I can't say for sure. :(

that's true

**** :(

Quick recovery lowers the time in between shots. You know that red bar that appears when you shoot? Well with quick recovery on a soul bow, your arrows still take the same amount of time to fire as without QR, but by the time you shoot the arrow, the red bar is basically gone and you are already firing the next arrow. So to make things simple, lets just say it increases atk speed.

jup it does, I'm 100% sure of this.

There is a noticable difference between having QR or not. It's mostly seen in skills, bacause they take a while to load anyways. In normal shots it works too, though. :)

Carnage: Firing--|----Recovery
Soul Bow: Firing----|--Recovery

QR would only take effect on a per shot basis after the | in that example. It has better rate of fire when you stand still. QR wouldnt have much effect if you kited. Its the best PvP option on that bow though.

Yea, Soul bow is a bad choice for SR since they need to kite, but for HE and even PR it's great. Especially in sieges - you will crit a light target and before they get the chance to run away you are already firing the next arrow and they are usually down. <3 QR

Thanks for the info guys. I will go for QR. What color is the crystal for that SA if anyone remembers?

Green 12

thanks bro! ;)
