Yes, I completely agree. If you need more STR, scroll for STR, but always potential for %dex.

Often, if you buy gear prepotentialed, you can scroll with 60% str scrolls.

hmm, I see what you mean. But it is much easier to overshoot, then undershoot.. Like me, from just random bonuses I have way to much str. (like 14 to much)

I see what you mean, I think im going to ditch my training build xD

EDIT: I changed lots of stuff. Tell me if you like the changes. I still disagree with you on the secound job stuff, IMO the inconvenience of arrows is alot, especially if you run out durring CPQ-s and stuff.

That depends. Lionheart castle comes with small mobs, from what my friends say. LHC still is not coming for a while, but I guarantee that snipe will benefit you more if you are just considering Lionheart castle.

First, opps let me change it to 1. I also think I like your first job build better.

2nd job, booster/SA is MUCH better then mastery. Mostly you CPQ at that level anyway, and I find that the speed, and not having to carry arrows is very, very nice.

3rd job, I already stated in the guide (I think, I might have forgotten) hat prerequisites were not specifically typed out. You should automatically add prerequisites before the skill. So if I were to suggest getting AE, you would get 5 MB before AE.

I disagree with you for 4th job. 1 dragons breath is essential, especially for a training build. PKB for one only hits things right in your face, whereas dragons breath compress monsters into one mob, which is nice for any mob attack. If you have spread out monsters in a way that blizard can not hit them all, dragons breath fixes that while PKB just gets you hit while you walk into stuff.
Pierce only hits 5 monsters at level 11, and the damage isnt that much better then blizard spam. But if you really want, I guess you could use it..Blizard is much better to use until level 21 pierce, from my experience.

Also, MW isn't a high priority skill, while pierce is. Maxing pierce is nice, because then you have a higher chance to 1hk0 ToT monsters. So there was a reason to get pierce before MW. Chances are, everyone else will have mw anyway.

Also, a training build is built on TRAINING, not BOSSING. I had two hybrid builds for a training build with bossing, and a bossing build with training.

60 base str IS definitly the highest base. If someone was going to make/buy a shiner/reverse, wouldn't they be able to afford a zhelm?
For lesser funded people, the level 100 crossbow is much better. Blue belt: easy 3 str. Zakum helm: 15 right there. Overall: Easy 5. Shoes is an easy 3. Zombie rings will add at least 2-4 str. Medal: easy 2 str Cape: Easy 8 str. Pendant should give at aleast 5 from a MoN.

There you go, plenty. And that is not even scrolling for STR, aside from the cape. I based at 60, with no str equips, and just from makering stuff, I have over 120.

I edited my guide to link to yours for more skill builds
Also, why did you get marksmanship so early? Just wondering. Because alot of damage is dealt with snipe, and snipe is not effected by DEF or anything (I think), which would lead to a lower %increase in damage.
