New Bow Comparisions - Guild Wars Forums

Just before I settle with my most likely final bow, I'd like to know the stats for the new bows (Storm bow and something else I think)

Similar to this: http://guildwarsguru.com/content/mis...ies-id1092.php

thanks

Yeah, I'd like to know this as well.
Even if there's no exact stats, I'd be curious as to what those who have used them think it's closest to.
Long, short, flat, etc.

Thanks.

I know 3 new bows: shadow bow, storm bow and ascalon bow.

Ascalon is short and I don't know the other two. anyway, I will stick to a flatbow for range or short/halfmoon for dmg.

Eternal Bow, Storm Bow... They are the same as Long Bows

Ascalon bows are not new. They can be obtained from collectors throughout the entire game. They come in any variation.

asc. bows are similar to flat bows

all of the bows with the special names hold similar characterists to the similar 'looking' bow with the regular name.

I believe I got my Ascalon bow pre-sear...or very very early into post-sear

Incorrect, I dont know about eternal bows (b/c they are fugly) but storm bows do have a long range, but a firing rate similar to short bows (or at least a lot faster than long bows)

It's a flatbow, as is evident from the fact that it fires so incredibly high that you want to pull your hair out.
