RE: Super Novice Bow
the main reason novices/supernovices can't use bows is because there is no sprite available for such.
however your reasoning for the inc/suc combo is utterly ridiculous. that combo is pretty much nullified with the novice wings, as, since no one else mentioned it, not only do you get the angelic combo from it as well as +2 to all stats, but if you are able to get angel wing/evil wing ears, you get another boost to hp and sp without having to worry about another card set. granted it may not be as much as the inc/suc card combo, but an extra 300hp and 80sp is pretty darn good regardless. not to mention if you really want more hp and sp then get the quve/lude combo as well for your novice armlets. you then have 4 armor slots (headgear, garment, footgear, shield) available to boost defense and protect against whatever else.
also, something extremely important that i just remembered, all bows in this game are two-handed meaning no shield and no angelic combo anyway. so what would be the point of having the bow if you're gonna lose the additional 900 hp?

Woulndt use set I would get 190 aspd or 350 flee as to not get hit and also on the incu/succu card set let's Sn class get infinate sp so maybe that's y I use that set just an
idea I know bows are 2handed my favorite class for a Long time was sniper

RE: Super Novice Bow
There is an edit button for a reason, so you know. Also, you say SNs should be able to do things other classes can't when they're by themselves... and you're a caster SN. Tell me, what can your SN do that an Instant-Cast High Wizard can't do better? I'm not trying to fight with you, but there is NO role a SN can fill better than some other class - the advantage they get is not doing any one thing better, but being able to do more things (which is, actually, destroyed by trying to focus on instant-cast SN, since that removes much of their diversity).
For Melee builds: almost any trans (or even second non-trans) melee class can outdamage them. They can potentially get about as much flee as a second-class thief could, but that's about it (they might even be able to get about ten more, not sure).
Fo caster builds: any dedicated caster can out-DPS a super novice, especially instant cast HWiz (but even a double-bolt professor).
In general: Super Novice is a novelty class. Yes, they can actually do a decent job in select situations with certain builds, but if you ever expect them to stand up to serious competition you will most likely be disappointed. They don't have the durability of most other classes, and they don't have the offensive capability, either.

You're missing the point that you did quadruple posts. You can make multiple quotes on a single post so I'm asking not to do that again.
