I suppose you could. I also think though, that the build you lay out here is incredibly similar to that of any other melee character ever built.

The problem is...those characters have crushing blow on their weapon. We have 0%. We need to make up for that lack of crushing blow on our helmet and gloves in addition to the boots and armor.

Also, i've been informed that a Bowazon without Razortail isn't even close to potential so we'd better keep that on.

I think there is more than enough life leech on the build so that we don't need damage reduction or life tap. I've never died or even come close to a loss of life with this build so tap might be a waste.


I think its probably still better to rock the CB gear especially since our helm has the fhr that coa does.


My way is also substantially cheaper.

A nice COA + Jmod + Dracs + nice dungos + jewels for the jmod=lots and lots of fg. My cheap, viable build can be assembled for like 100 fg or so.

totally agree your build offers much more bang per buck - for pvm value its a nice different build

I guess my head cant get out of pvp gear which is just over kill ! sorry for that

The Vandal has been Sticky'd!!!!



I'd like to note that this came to me in my sleep:

Witchwild String can be a solid alternative to Windforce. (though Windy is still the first choice)

Up it, then add Knockback via Nef Rune + 50% ED from Ohm Rune.

This will give us a solid alternative for both a bow and Amplify Damage.


There is also an adjustment that might make this character better:


Get rid of those Javelin Grand Charms as they only help you in half your form.

Switch them out for Damage/AR/FRW or Life or FHR grand charms.

Scratch that ohm rune.

Use Vex Rune. It will give you the Mana Leech Witchwild lacks.

You'll come pretty close to a Windforce with this bow.
