Id go hybrid if i were you str/dex because you get great accuracy crits and survivability rates
But if you wanna go pure id prefer the bow for damage wise if you know the right build

Pure dex doesn't necessarily mean higher damage.

IMO, the highest damage would go to a dual spec'd bow bear.

You get the crit/damage from dex gear, and as much skill damage as possible from the str points.

In my experience a seasoned tank is always the most beneficial to a party. Mob control is a must for mages and birds to maximize damage in short controlled bursts. But..there can be too much of a good thing. Nothing is more frustrating than pulling a mob into a corner then having another bear pulling them all over the place shortly after. Shame on you to those that do... Thanks for listening and to Elly you always provide great information for all of us under appreciated bears and for that I thank you. Keep up the good work!

Try out what I respeced to do 142 str and 142 dex (won't get both until you're lvl 56) and use a lvl 45 osiris set for you're higher str equips, and a lvl 45 horus set for higher lvl dex equips.

You don't need to be 56.

You can use 138 + 32 from osiris/thoth/horus gear boosters and still equip 55 gear, its all in my guide :)
