If he don't use poison/bleeding attack and no need energy (then zelous string) the sundering is the better choice. Vampiric is useful in spike or splinter/barrager ranger, but you need always another bow to swap.

Crippling, Poisonous, Silencing?
If you dont use any of those 3 conditions I mentioned then you don't do what ranger does best IMO. And if you really have to deal damage with your bow then get Fiery bowstring and use Conjure.

Sundering doesnt do much on a bow.

Ye ye i don't know how play ranger

Condition given by a ranger are already quite long they don't needeed 33% longer and there are some creatures that they're not fleshy.
Dazed inflicted by BHA is already quite long.
Elemental damage can make more damage or less damage depending resistance of mob.
Sundering works better with barrage.
I don't wanna say that you're wrong but imo A good ranger must have a bow for any tim/mob/mission etc.

I'M TALKING ABOUT PVE NOT PVP

If you are just looking to resell the bow, you would be better off selling the mods separately (or keeping them for yourself). While you might get a little more for the bow with the mods on it, most people are only looking for the "skin" they want. It doesn't matter to have a +30 health grip on a bow that a person wants to put a 20% enchant grip on. It's actually easier to sell the bow "clean" with no mods on it.
Or, barring that, you can offer to sell the mods (un-attached) with the bow, if it will sweeten the deal.

It's good in various circumstances to use those conditions, but I agree with Redvex, the conditions already last long enough. Using a string to make them last longer is simply wasting the opportunity to use some other damage type (e.g. vampiric, sundering, cold, etc.) in combo with it.
The only way making the conditions last longer can help is if you constantly change targets to spread the condition around, which IMHO takes too long and just simply spreads your damage out too much. (And then you only need to make the conditions last longer because it's taking you longer to kill things.)

Sundering does as much for a bow as it does for any other weapon. (And, no, let's not start the old Sundering vs whatever again!)

Btw, my ranger has over 10million XP and people know him.

Eternal Bows are sexy.

fujin · Nov 14, 2007, 04:25 PM // 16:25

Silverwing's are pretty high in demand right now, but there's no point in adding mods to it unless you're using it for yourself. The price barely changes and you could possibly be losing a little bit from adding these "show off e-peen" mods.

An Azure Recurve Bow has a cool skin imo, not sure how rare it is though.

Gotejjeken · Nov 14, 2007, 05:04 PM // 17:04

I'm willing to be most people would buy a cheaper bow (such as an endgame NF bow) that already has perfect stats, then a 'rare' bow with just about the same stats for far more.

I know I have four bows, a shocking short bow, storm bow, a perfect poisoning bow, and the endgame NF bow, and I haven't paid more than 15k for all of them combined. Personally I think this is a lot better than paying 50k+ for some 'rare' bow with those stats...but then again there are people who have lots of money to burn (I know I don't after dropping 100k on primeval armor + dye).

Kinslayer is nice and i got it for free

wsmcasey · Nov 14, 2007, 06:08 PM // 18:08

I think a celestial bow is a nice choice.

I personally love my Rotwing bow...........I always end up coming back to that bow after using others for a while.

.... Protector titles aren't hard mate. Don't brag about them.

I wish they had a nice flatbow skin :-(. Right now i think storm bows still rock. Greatest animation. Nvr seen a silverwing recurve bow, bow without the animation, it looks pretty cruddy. Description says its glows when u fire, so i guesss thats kinda cool. But if you want it wait till GW:EN is a year or more older and buy the high reqs for maximum cheapness

I never said he was stupid. But so called "perfect mods" are in no way perfect most of the time. Sometimes - yes, but most of the time people are wrong thinking they are the best choice. It's not about what you prefer, it's about what is most effective in given situation. Period.

Drago's is the best skin in the game. Of course, it suffers from being a green and a flatbow, but as far as bow skins go, Drago's is the best ^_^

Aside from that, Tormented look good, as do Celestials. I had a Storm bow for a while, nice look on those. Drocknar's are nice as well

Hit and Run · Nov 22, 2007, 03:42 PM // 15:42

well all bows that require 9 markmanship or higher have the same attack, so it doesnt matter all that much. But most bows can be found of of drops

Stealth Pinoy · Jan 02, 2008, 10:18 PM // 22:18

Storm Bow still is the best looking bow, next will be Silverwing.....
