Bow Speeds - Guild Wars Forums

Omnidragon42 · Oct 19, 2005, 08:35 AM // 08:35

In another thread, I saw someone saying that longbows and hornbows were among the slowest bows (refire rate).

I'd like to know the bow classes and fire speeds, in order of Fastest-Slowest, if ya'll would be so kind

Please bear in mind, im new :$

Its obvious looking at names.

Shortbows, then composite, and longbow. Horn/irovy/flat/etc all fit into the same speed grouping as one of the first three.

Note this is just speed. Each class has its own Arrow Arch, Accuracy, and range/etc.

Composite is the most Accurate, while Shortbow is the fastest, while Longbow is the best for pulling (longrange).

So most people pack all three in some form for all three of those tasks.
