Storm Bows - Guild Wars Forums

Sup all, Basically ive been playing ranger in PvP for a while, and I like all my recurve bows but <3 the stormbow skin. I saw Cute Barty Oo (from dP) using a stormbow skin for interupting in obs whilst he was guesting for GeAr. I have been testing strombow and although it states its a longbow, it has a different firing pattern to other longbows. I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about this, cause it seems to behave more like a recurve bow with a longer range.
I was wondering whether barty was just using a pvp recurve bow with a stormbow skin or whether actually storm bows can be used for interupting too.

Anyone know anything about this or have any answers to my questions?
Ty in advance

You can upgrade your PvP Hornbow to the Silverwing Bow skin, even though the PvE version of the Silverwing Bow is only available as a recurve bow.

As the wiki states it was probably a recurve with the pve skin of a stormbow.

Through the tournament NPC (Tolkano) you can recieve PvE weapon skins in exchange for Zaishen Coins or Tournament Reward Points. You can change your pvp recurve bow to a Storm Bow and retain the recurve status.

If you want a pve recurve that is "OMFG THAT IS COOL!!" Get an eternal bow with +33%poison/cripple/vamp. If not that go get a pvp ranger and save ur zcoins/RPs and upgrade.
BUYER BEWARE: most if not all e-bows are inherent otherwise known as uninscribable.

Uhh... if you want a PvE recurve that is *really* "OMFG THAT IS COOL!!" get a Silverwing.
