I have been playing the Bow Bear for some time and have run into an issue with AO. There are no L39-40 M/S Dex based equipment. I still have my Mamboza leather with 5 M/S but I am not willing to give up 12 armor points to use that over the Scorpion Leather. I asked in town about it, and someone mentioned that was the reason they switched to STR based warrior equipment, and since I have full Thoth gear, I am considering it.
This got me thinking, because the Bow Bear needs M/S. Every 30-35 seconds, we need to initiate Iron Blood, Rage and Evade. Then there are the slashes and stomps which are important to up the DPS when close. While the Birds have mediation to restore mana, the Bears do not.
Two possible conclusion from this: 1) AO pt2 will have the M/S Dex Gear or 2) The Devs are quietly killing the Bow Bear. What are your thoughts?
tldr summary: No Dex M/S = RIP Bow Bear?
