BB damage relies on ATK, so if you have a bow on and 300 DEX you'll pretty much have as much atk as a STR dagger (somewhat). You'll probably expect around the same damage output from both of them, but with the bow you are much more vulnerable because you can't wear a shield (but to make up for it you can switch to DS at any time and are able to use any element,arrows, which also apply to BB and the immaterial arrow is a great boost against GR user).. uhh.. imo, the best way to play stalker is to avoid and deal damage, not to survive.. and also, with DEX build your stripping chance is nearly 100% while the STR build is much less. but ya i just dat kinda guy dat like to play dis way so idk wat u like u do wat u like, k?
idk i ramble alot sumtimes!
