Whats your favorite kind of Bow?

Post by EdmundDauntes »

Just about everyone on this shard has been using archery and I see various types of Bows. :nod: I am wondering which type of bow to use a weapon level deed on. With a brief description tell me what kind of bow is your favorite and why. :?:

Thanks for all your input. :)

Personally I like composites, if we're talking crafted. The abilities are nice.
Yumi's are also good and with good abilities.

What makes a good bow? It's Primary and/or Secondary ability, the SSI you have (quickness), the Damage Increase you have (damage), The dexterity you have (for accuracy), and also the spells you use with it. Example, chiv spell, Enemy of One coupled with Consecrate Weapon is... fantastic contribution. You're Damage Increase will go above and beyond your cap to a single mob you are focusing on with your hits.

Of course everyone's idea of the best is subject to personal taste :)

love,

I likes tha composit 8)

Armor piercing does a great job on creatures with lots of armor such as MOA, and well the graphics are cool too.

I chose a Horselord to level, which is a yumi. I often use the Armor Pierce for dramatic extra damage, and I added 25% lightning because, well, it's fun to make a racket.
