And with the dragon horn, maybe EotN counts as Tyria for the weapon naming... it's the same continent/map.
i use vamp most of the time and switch to a zealous for energy. what i wanted to know is will i miss the 10% sundering going from a recurve to a short. short seems to shoot quicker but the recurve seemed to work better so far. i am sure there are threads on this.

Maybe i'll put up a pic of the bow. I might go platinum long bow. has nice look to it. Prices have come down a lot.

Recurve doesn't have 10%AP, that's hornbows.

Short/flat bows have much better DPS than recurve/long/horn. You trade off some interrupting accuracy or range for it.

Maybe its the accuracy... splinters seem to work better with recurve than the short.

I've had a look through the list, and apparently I'm the only one who has this bow as their favourite:

Long: Celestial Longbow;
Short: Half Moon;
Flat: Ironwing Flatbow; and
Recurve: Dead Bow.

I like the Zodiac, but not for the gems. I love the size, shape, and mass it looks like it has.
