Rate my build....

Just on a scale of 10 to 100 bow good do you reckon this build would be for dueling?

Its not designed to be efficient but rather a harkening back to the DeS days where people would run around using the dragon bone smasher and whiping out cursed weapon!

Bow good? I'd say about a short bow good
Why the 42 str? Its pretty good, although I'd probably sacrifice vit down to about 47ish or whatever you need for CMW.

But CMW doesnt look like Cursed Weapon from the old days and with this build not using a shield Ill need all the Vit I can get. Im going up against billy and glatts

it kills me you dont have something to parry with!

I can quick switch to the dark hand if i must or just drop the catalyst after I have buffed.

i would do this http://tinyurl.com/9kcnx6v love poison mist as cover to a bow or xbow.

Wow PW is gonna eat your hp though. Stick the glove in your right hand as well so you can bare fist parry.

Crossbow works wonders, try it. You have 10 Dex for an elemental Pike.
