Propably is a noob question, but even i played a lot GW never taked care about bows..
I want to know 1 thing :

Bow class Attack interval Range Flight Time Arc Size
Flatbow 2.0 seconds 1.35 0.88 seconds High
Hornbow 2.7 seconds 1.2 0.59 seconds Medium
Longbow 2.4 seconds 1.35 0.59 seconds Medium
Recurve Bow 2.4 seconds 1.2 0.40 seconds Low
Shortbow 2.0 seconds 1.0 0.59 seconds Medium

What is "Flight Time"??I know what is Attack interval,Range and arcsize..but Flight Time sounds new for me...
Sorry but never play as ranger and i dont think i start a ranger now, i just want to know that =P
Sorry for nab question =P

Time between the moment the arrow leaves you bow to when it hit your enemy... or fails to hit

Wiki times are at the shortbow range.

"Flight time" is how long it takes the arrow to reach the target if fired from maximum range.

(Btw: Yes, GW bows make absolutely no sense in terms of real-world physics....)

If you think about it, real world physics on bows would be too imba. It would be pretty hard to dodge an arrow moving at 90mph.

The atmosphere in Tyria is denser than normal earth atmosphere, so arrows move slower.

Or to put it another way, arrows behave correctly for fantasy-world physics.

Wow.
It's the time it takes for the projectile to be shot and land at target's location.

doesnt take a hell of a lot of work to get a vs and torm shield... plus that person's native language isnt english, so take into consideration flight time may also not translate to mean the exact same thing, so there could be some discrepancy.
