Valhalla Bow

[cfk]

Figured only a bow main would have this anyhow.

Anyone share how useful this thing is, especially with enchanting?

Someone gave me the stats of a +3 as around 900-1700 dmg, at cost of 80 vit. Supposedly the +4 lightning does a crapload of dmg. I just hit lightning 1 for about 600 on a flame spirit in volcano valley.

I suppose this wouldn't be a good FL weapon without an elephant + spear ring to go with it so ur not a 2 shot.

i see ppl switching their valhalla bows w/ dragons/conqueror or wutever if they see the enemy has sniping units, but if they enemy just has like 1 archer or 1 cannon or sumthin, they just keep the valhalla to rape
and the hp doesn't matter than much, even if ur short like 1-2k hp, as long as u dun die and ur sham/oracle heals to full, its all good
some use valhalla even against ppl w/ tonnes of ranges, just that the main doesn't die and gets healed to full
and since the extra mdef from range makes heal alot more.... it becomes a great bait

Well I got that olliphant to help out with the -vit penalty. I think I'm going to +1 to break even, maybe a little more if I get a spear ring.

Both the hire level bow mains in my guild adore their valhalla bows - it just does enough damage that they can usually get the mobs down before the lower vit comes into play. But they disagree on it for PVP - one swears by it in FL and the other says it sucks for FL. So just two more people's opinions to consider, I guess. :P

whoever says its bad for pvp is just a ...neophyte.their is actually two ways you can base your archer main build on.


1.melee heavy with oracle support...this would be like

:swm::swm::swm:
:exo::pro::lak:
:mnk::ora::femalehero:(bow)

idea of this build is to tank for a loooooong time with merc switching+oracle healing.....remember that the lk gets healed for a LOT more than any other melee(except exo mebbe) and eat the enemies vitals with main+prophet.

SpirituZ in argos has this kind of build... with a good vals bow and rings you can let the monks protect+mount defense to help you last a long time.you would need to change the rings for an archer snipe team though.

2.the plain archer formation...3 sword i front and 2 archer+proph+main+monk/ora

this build relies on deadly shot to massacre the enemy hero(most keep them in 2nd row) after they let go off an aoe combo.

Hm..now I need a hell horse so I can go for +5 valhalla eventually. I think lightning goes up in powers of 2. Ah...things to do.
