Palus Knight/melee questions : Lineage 2 General Discussions

Ok well anyways I bought this account on Lionna, its got a 29 scout with +3 full suit of mant and a +3 gastra and elven jewlery etc, and its got a 20 dark elven palus knight (what i wanted lol..) so Im thinkin about strippin the scout and puttin it all on the knight then going to cruma tower to level with a bow (since i knw it was fast !@#$%^* leveling when i did it with my elf scout with a regular gastra) so what I wanna knw is, should I do this or is it really faster to get brig + dual weps and group or what? I dont think theres anythign bad about a palus knight w/ a bow, I know on my scout the only real advantage was the bow mastery/long shot/walk faster, but either way still level faster than soloing w/ swords?

it will be more exxpensive, but you will level a little faster.
