ISS enchanter with bow?

Hello, so I recently awakened to ISS, and I found out that my dps is a bit low.
As spectral dancer my p.crit was quite high and was enjoying the damage.

I know the play style changes when you awaken, and ISS is more of support, so I need to keep duals for spamming the debuff aoe and such, but was wondering if anyone has tried a bow with ISS.
Would an Apocalypse Thrower with focus SA be a good choice? has anyone tried this playstyle?

Please do not answer with "no" and stuff like that, if anyone tried this just share your opinion.

Thanks!

That playstyle would simply criple you coz the class is suposed to land debuffs, which you can't do with a bow.

Yet another one of those "My iss deals bad dmg, halp" threads.

Forget how much dmg your actual weapon does. When you have 4 dd's hitting a mob, and you decrease its pdef by 30% its like having a whole other dd hitting it too.

The important thing for a party isnt how hard you hit stuff, but how well you can keep buffs on the party and debuffs on the mobs. Also the occasional crowd control.

I doubt I would ever put a bow on an iss, you lose out on almost all important skills.

I understand that. It seems that I just don't like that spam play style. You see ncsoft makes you follow that playstyle and have no alternative.

While being spectral dancer I could just hex the mob and hit it with bow if I wanted, now you are restricted. I suppose this happens to other classes too.

Another question would be, what SA would be better for PVE on duals?
I suppose +dmg would be better than focus, if it affects skills too, but I like crits more.
And since buffs help so much on crits, it's like 5x the dmg you do if a crit lands.

Let me know what you think.

I think you want to play another class actually.

Iss is not a killer toon, and you seem to want to do just that.

Maybe reroll to a DD class?

If you really insist on doing more damage go with haste on your duals... And then get damage up for dual sa.

I have played around with a bow on my ISS when GoD first came out and it did little more damage per hit than the duals with a much slower attack speed...

If you don't like spamming skills and you want the easy button for pve... Make a summoner.

enchanter produce lol damage anyway, why care about his "dps"
make yourself better defence instead

The only reason to use a bow as Iss is in oly when you are root or when your opponant run ( if you have done more damage).
But Iss is not a DD, so don't look to much about your dps in party you'll be the lower one ( Healeur wth lumi hit stronger than you).
