Ranger w/Ithas Bow - Guild Wars Forums

Sledge · Jan 14, 2006, 11:07 PM // 23:07

I figure since every time i make a character, I get the bow because I pre ordered, I should make a character that can utilize it for once. A ranger.

I have a W/R, but never went Marksman and don't have Expertise, so never used it.

Is it a decent mid level bow? Or is it just junk?

Its okay, but by no means the best

Someone mentioned if you add a posion bow string it's actually pretty good. I don't play ranger so not sure if this is true or not.

reqs. are 10 marksmanship AND 10 expertise....does 13-25 damage....has inherant +5 armor (with expertise at 10)....with a defensive grip you get +10 (woohoo)...It seems to have a rather high arch like a flatbow...I use it with as a "shield" sometimes in PvP if I find myself taking a beating...mostly just window dressing since i typically trap...

EDIT: Just needed to add, that since only I can use it, I have no problem getting the +20% damage through customization...even my favorite gold bow isn't customized...could never bring myself to make an item un-sellable.
