Storm/Earth v Storm/Hunter?

[Llama8]

I've been pumping Storm Nimbus at the moment & usnig a bow to kill things & I was wondering if it would be better to take Earth & go with Brimstone (or whatever the weapon enhancement one is), or take Hunter & be able to get your bow damage boosted & have more/different bow attacks.

Thoughts anyone?

If you want to use a bow, definitely get Hunter to go with Storm. Earth's Mastery bonuses are the lowest of all the Mastery's, and would give you no real benefit for using a bow.

Getting the Marksman line of Skills will give you a lot more damage with a Bow than Earth's Enchant. (Due to it granting your arrows the chance to pierce through enemies striking multiples with a single arrow, and then the shatter effect of arrows).

Another -big- factor, is Hunting's attack speed bonuses are -really- needed for any Bow build. Bows have one, no, THE lowest attack speed of all weapons.
