    2Anyways, I think you should go for FAs instead of bomb arrow, since you are focusing on damage if you want to create a strless bow man.
    3Use robes like a dexless sin?

    Uhh, my opinion is that STR-less bowmen are crap, beginning to end, except for levels 35-48, when they get ridiculously out powered at about level 50. The thing is, putting in some STR points doesn't really affect your damage that much, and anyway, the Arund looks so dam hot.

    STR-less are superior to normal STR bowmen for a long time, even longer now with the release of higher level maple weapons. The game, at first, is meant for normal character builds, but special items are released for "advanced" players to go unique builds; the game wants us to go STR-less, just not everyone as we're not all equipped to do so.

    So i thought about it and i'm sticking strengthless until 70 and then pumping strength from 70 - 80 to wear my level 80 xbow. ._.

    And yes, strengthless get outpowered eventually.

    STR also helps to stabilize damage, remember that...which strangely contradicts Melee Weapons where its the other way where in DEX increases Lower Damage... :confused:

    Well sure at level 200 you'll get out powered, but when do you realistically get out powered? By my quick calculations in my head, I'd say nowhere before 130-ish, which isn't that bad considering you can easily convert if you plan ahead.

    Your post made sense at first, and then you just rambled out. Sure it stabilizes it, but not by nearly enough for that to matter when weighed against the power boost. Would you rather have a better damage range or a stable one?

    I'm pretty sure you get outpowered at 90 or so, since WA > dex

    Also, scrolling tops for str and bottoms for dex = good?

    With well-scrolled level 64 maple weapons they maintain their power superiority beyond level 90, which is where the old stopgap was (pre-64 maple weapons).

    It's doubtful that you'd scroll enough STR to replace the DEX you lose by scrolling something with less slots (overall = 10, bottom = 7). If you do, then yay for you, but it's much easier to scroll a good overall and be stronger overall (heh, pun :D).
