Well the main stats on Bow were DEX then AGL and a little INT. Since you can shed your aggro, I'm not too worried about dodging attacks which is what AGL does and I'll worry about DEX if the issue ever comes up.
What I need to figure out is if INT affects my elemental arrows which I'm willing to bet it does. Hitting the right elemental weakness on a monster doubles my damage as of right now. If INT affects it then I'll be hitting decently hard and fast. Only issue is that using those shots uses one Action Chip so you can't spam those arrows if you plan on using a combo or something else.
I could also just go the physical damage route too and go level Axe skills so my normal shots hit harder but I haven't decided yet because I don't wanna be totally reliant on that.
We can also inflict status affects but as of right now, I haven't really felt a need to use them so I can't tell you how useful they will be right now.
