Carnage Bow SA

What is a good SA for a Carnage Bow that will be used by an SR?

Mana Up or Critical Bleed?

How often does a Critial Bleed lands on a target if anyone has that SA?
Dont get a carnage bow.

OE a BoP and put CS on it.

Then whe nyou can afford a SOul bow, and have a lvl 12 crystal, Get it
Problem is, I found a deal I coulnd't pass up and I snatched a Carnage bow for dirt cheap.

Also, I see a lot of HE's and a number of SR's running around with Carnage. I was wondering if overtime, the lack of Patk on Carnage makes up for the difference to Soul Bow's attack/patk. In terms of Slow VS Very Slow firing/reloaing rates.

Now I gotta figure out how I'm going to afford a Crystal, was curious how well does the Critical Bleed worked in PvP and PvE situation as I plan to make Carnage my primary bow till I can get me a Soul Bow.

I guess I may not have an answer about it :(
Ganna have to say mana up so you can hunt longer. Your ganna run out of mana pretty fast if you dont have it, so go with mana up.
I'm a Sword Muse and I use Carnage with crit bleed. Its a pretty sweet SA but it serves no purpose in PvE really, though its a very good PvP bow with crit bleed. Unless the victim cures bleed fast it can be quite damaging. Bleed seems to land quite often except on those in Tallum sets and dwarves and orcs. Nobody uses Invigor buff so its sure to land often during a seige. And about MP, now is a time when archers should get a quick recovery SA and befriend a Elemental Summoner or Sword Muse. With their MP regeneration buff MP use is barely an issue. I've had groups with ES where I was using a BoP with QR and singing and I NEVER ran low on MP, in fact my MP was basically always full when it came time to sing again. As for the Sword Muse buff I guess that really only applies to high lvl players.
Ye, ES with Seraphim out pretty much makes you regen mp so fast that you dont need Cheap Shot. And Cheap Shot is a PVE only SA anyway >.>

Crit Bleed on a Carnage for pvp is nice, on a Bop QR or Accuracy, but since you're an archer, you'd prolly be better off with that QR.
Excelent, Thanks guys, I will be trying to get me a CB sa.
