[Guide] PVE Warbow

Warbow is... well its not op like shurikens and lancers

But is definitely pretty and fun to play! yay~!

It also have high movespeed and a lot of Zeal, proc proc pops pops \/

pweople usually do dark build which is ok, buut...Holy is so pretty and shiny so i decide to do holy build!

This guide is kinda for peeps who can get full +20 set and habs a wee-bit of knowledge in-game. Kinda like mi hufufu~

You can also apply some stuff in this guide for dark build since gear is mainly similar, but the gameplay is alot different!

Pros & Cons:

Lots of Nooks Damagies!

Zoom zoom! (move speed)

Animation is pure sakuya

Chaaaaaaaargin

solo dps is derp compared to in-party dps

Starting an MMO is always borinnnn, but you! yes! YOU hang in there!

Basically you need to do ALLLLLLLL main quest until you reach lv.80

then you can start to gear up and do dungies! But until then be patient and search fwends and maybe grills

>///> there's prob alr a guide for how to start in AK s-so imma just gonna talk about bows stuffies

Triple Shot

This is the first skill that bow get! Sadly nowadays it doesn't really worth mentioning and explaining it

since we mostly spam our main element skill and it has become kinda useless to full charge this, that is why i will not go deep into explaining how the charge skill work but rather on the how this skill can still be useful! >w<

There's a mastery which makes this skill gives you up to 11% extra damage!

and it is kinda useful if you using this build, more on that later! but for now just take that you must never full charge this skill on a boss!

You can however, charge this skill on mobs! to get bonus stats and stuff from your envoys (or passive) again more on that later!

Frost Arrow

This skill element is ice! This skill is also not that fancy but it has it uses!

While it is way more useful in PvP than in PvE, the freeze can be useful for some bosses and when kiting mobs!

For example you can freeze Winston in Chronowood Cavern to stop him from casting his skills, compared to stunning him where his reflect skill still goes thru stuns

To activate the freeze effect you need to full charge this skill!

Sadly for this build, this frost arrow remain single target D: so it is not really useful vs bunch of mobs

Dimensional Shot

This skill element is dark! and it can become suppppperr scary with right weapon specialization!

A full charge also gives this skill 30% more chance to deal critical dmg making it a solid option for a build

Although this build isn't focused on dark, this skill is still useful to charge when killing mobs! (when arrow of light is on cooldown)

Blessing of the Winds

Ooooh i love this skill!

This skill cannot be charged, but!

When casted it gives you some extra damage stats, 10% movespeed yum yum AND 30% chance to deal 50% extra damage! Pretty simple but verrrry strong!

^{(on top of it it gives you a cute lil' fairy >A<)}

Hail of Arrows

PREEETTTTYYYYYYYYYY

oh wait... sorry, i mean >///<

This skill is the mainly used to clear up mobs, when fully charged this skill will hit a hugeeee area with a lot of pretty pretty looking arrows

it does will not deal as much damage as our main element skill, but with this build this skill gives a debuff of -15% defense! which is good! you have to love def shred!

Corrosive Shot

Okay this is our main buddy right here!

This skill does not deal a whole lot of damage but the effect is suppppper lovely

first of all it has -def debuff that stacks up to 3 times and while fully charged it reduce target heal by 40% (which is realllly good in PvP)

And with left weapon specialization, which we will be using in this build, this skill gets 30% more damage as well as a +5% damage taken debuff that stacks up to 3 times and when fully charged gives another debuff which gives anyone who hit the debuffed target 10% boost to all stats!

This skill is just definition of love

Arrow of Light

PRETTY PRETTY PRETTYYYYYYYYYYY

oh sorry again >///<

This is the skill we will be focusing on for this build!

although the effect isn't that fancy, it has the highest damage multiplier thus dealing the most damage in one shot!

With this skill you should be able to deal alottttt of damage when geared properly

on top of that the animation is pretty and it gives you wings too >///< this skill is just too perfect

Warbow class specific envoy nodes are super important!

with exception for +3m range to skill, everything will make your bow more flashy!

Ranger

This is the default node which you will be getting at level 3!

it gives you move speed +10% zoom zoom!

bow skill +3 (every class has +3 to their main skill)

and 20% critical rate and accuracy when fully charging a skill!

which is neat since that means you only need 80% crit rate to crit all your charged skill

Battlefield Motivator

This envoy nodes will give you AND your party member 8% chance to deal 50% extra damage whenever you hit something, both auto attakcs & skill its more proc proc pops pops!

Overdraw

Overdraw gives you a buff of +3% Damage and Accuracy, which stack up to 5 times everytime you successfully charge a skill, doesn't matter if the skill actually goes off or not! this means you can get +15% Damage and Accuracy after 5 successful charges!

Inherent Purity

Best skill cooldown -25%? 3 second cooldown to grow wings?! SIGN ME UP >///<

Shadow Symphony

Gives ANY dark and holy element skill extra 20% crit damage, this means your sub skill and combo skill also counts! Although it doesn't really have much use for subs D:

BUT it also gives chance to make your Arrow of Light/Dimensional Shot 30% Extra Skill Damage, which is a lot!

You can tell when this envoy buff is up easily since it will be purple colored, its pretty and eyecatching!

Deadly Hunt

AND BEST ENVOY NODES AWARD GOES TOOOOO....

It gives you 50% chance to give you a buff of Main Weapon Damage 8% and Crit Damage Cap +10%, and it stacks up to 5 times!

Which means you will get total of 40% Main Weapon Damage (In case you can't tell ITS HUGEEEEEEEEEEE ) and 50% crit damage increase, which put bow maximum crit damage dealt to 350%!

It is kinda annoying to stack tho D: 50% chance to proc on full charge is actually tiring when you pay attention to it, but it's OP!

We will be using Left Weapon Specialization for this build, so i won't touch right path thingies D:

Weapon Specialization Unlocks when you reach lv 60! And can go up to level 70

it has 3 tier, first is level one, then level 30 and last is lv 60, each of this tier will give your skills extra effects and fancy fancy upgrades!

You also get extra one skill from weapon specialization

For every level you have on weapon specialization you will get one extra point to use in weapon mastery points, which we will touch on more later!

And even though you can only have one path active at one time, you still get to use all the point from each path, with total of 140 point to use!

So let us dive more to what left path will give us!

Demonic Snipe

Uhm... pwease dun do dis on a regular basis....

buuut~ keep this in your shortbar whenevah u gotta slack and nuke a group of mobs!

Just hold it until the duration is done n BOOM! Daily dose of slackin!

Hunger for Blood

Weapon specialization effect evolve by level but let us just focus on the lv 60 effects!

First of all, your Triple Shot will deal 20% more damage, and have +4m in range, this is actually not cast range but AoE! so it makes your triple shot hits 4m around the thing you hitting it with, which is a good addition but not that important

A lottttt is going on for Corrosive shot, first of all it gets 30% skill damage increase, then it gets another debuff addition of +5% damage taken by target hit by corrosive shot (this applies to both charged corrosive and non-charged corrosive)

second is that it debuffs target hit by full-charged corrosive shot making anyone who hit the target under the debuff gets 10%+ on all stats! This means if you use this in something like Sky Tower... its 10% all stat buff and +15% damage dealt for the whole raid!

Last but not least is Hail of Arrow improvement! It now gives target -15% Defense debuff, which is neat for bow since bow doesn't really have it's own -% defense debuff

Everlasting Corrosion

This is what makes this build even possible

First it gives extra damage when your target is under corrosive shot debuff, which multiplier is not high so you can barely notice it, but we do not care about that!

The second part is where it gets super interesting!

it gives your attacks 100% chance to gives +50% Damage Taken for the next 2 hits (since the first hit also counts as hits) which is a lot! It is like a guaranteed zeal that also increase your zeal damage!

Downside that it hits random target, not 100% the target you are hitting, and it sometimes goes to weird objects like stones or like unanimated objects D: But as long as you clear mobs first you should be fine!

It is a bit sad to mention, but using any other sub than bard on this build will just make you lose damage output

The reason being is how the debuff and bow skill works, which i will touch more about in Gameplay part

But bard without a doubt is the best sub bow can have! even if you build dark.

Sub bard gives extra 12% detailed damages and a lot of movespeed!

Other than that it also offers a stun and heals in case you need it! OH! It also give you access to combo skills!

and out of 3 combo skill that Bow/Bard has, one has holy element, which can be an extra nukies when you also need to survive, pretty neat stuff!

not to mention it fits perfectly into the debuff of left path, its just pairing made in heaven

Before i touch upon details of how you can gear up for this build, i figured that, giving an example would be a great start!

Most of people prolly wants to see something as example so here you go

My stats is not the best in the world, so don't bulli mi

As of now i am trying to +30 my weapon,

This is my current weapon! my pretty shinies blue bow

I'm also still looking for movespeed penetration enchantment card so hey! if you haven't finished your gear just know that i'm also still working on a lot of stuff!

But that's enough about me let us go to actual how to gear part!

First let us cover what you should be getting and touch a lil' bit about why you should get it!

This will be your end game gearing goal

There is not much variation you can go by with masteries for this build

maybe just exception of General Skill Mastery where you can use Storm Song - DEF% mastery instead of +DMG

but it is still not recommended because even though the effect is good most of the time you won't even cast the skill, especially in party

could arguably be used when you solo stuff but charged Hail of Arrow -def is probably more preferable, another one that i like is probably Refrain of Paradise (+movespeed)

General Skills:

Refrain of Paradise (+Mspd)

Triple Trouble (+% Dmg)

Song of Full Moon (-% Def)

Attack Spec:

Zeal

Advanced Skills:

Blinding Arrow (+AoL Skill Damage)

Defense Spec:

Extreme Speed

Tactical Spec:

Break Defense

Special Skills:

Deep Blue

<3 Best Defense (If you don't have enough defense)

This mainly covers everything you need to take as a holy bow, put the rest 2 points in whatever you need, can be extra spd, extra crits, or blessing nodes.

Bow envoy is pretty straight forward you can't go wrong

^{#BestTroll2k18}

In most of cases you will just go put your 99 point in Damage and HP while putting the rest in Speed and Defense, which is sad but it's just how it is now. But for the sake of formality let us dive into what stats you have to aim for!

<3 50% Speed
<3 75% Crit Rate (So you will have 100% Crit Rate for Arrow of Light)

 <3 80% Defense

<3 330% Cdmg/350% Cdmg

350% is ideal but in case you can't reach it (normally because no 20% Cdmg Eido) then 330% works fine too

<3 220%+ Movespeed

Totally didn't forget to take my own ss and had to steal sylv's from her guide<

For starter, always put 15 points in Movespeed

After that you can put points in crit rate, speed or defense if you are lacking stats BUT ONLY IF you are lacking stats

If you are geared you will want to put your points in damage against elemental, this will be mainly Dark, Lightning, Fire and Ice because Holy and Storm are super rare in current dungeon meta

After that you will can put your points in Crit Damage if you are lacking Cdmg

and your remaining point will go into DMG

For Holy build Bow there is not really a better alternatives for Foods & Drink in current content so here it is!

Highest bonus damage proc chance with highest bonus damage coefficient nothing can beat this food, do not even consider using any other things, Cake from Heaven best cake

Other than Golden Latte, people will be recommending Royal Jelly Tea, problem is on Bow you have lots' of bonus damage procs already and getting another on top of bazillion procs isn't really ideal. Sure it can do a lot more damage but you want a consistency of some sort too because talking about reality RNG isn't the friendliest thing you will encounter

So all in all just use Latte, but if you feelin' super lucky then you can go Royal Jelly Tea
