+5 energy bow. - Guild Wars Forums

Numa Pompilius · Oct 17, 2005, 11:50 PM // 23:50

It just struck me that the crappy no-req longbow I keep to pull with, has +5 energy. I know that that is very rare for other weapons, is it more common for bows?

I'm not sure where I picked up this bow, could be in pre-searing even, but probably around Ascalon in post-searing.

I'm pretty sure is a pre searing quest reward. Could be wrong though of course.

I think its the presearing quest reward from Hunter's Horn..

DreamCatcher · Oct 18, 2005, 04:35 AM // 04:35

i just did that quest and it seems they changed taht bow to just another crappy longbow WITHOUT the energy bonus

(

Now it's a 7-10 longbow of fortitude with +10 health and +15% dmg while health is above 50%...

too bad u customized it... players usually pay up to 200K for one of those bows...

heck... i've been offered 300K for mine

Savio · Oct 18, 2005, 06:06 AM // 06:06

Ooh, pwnage. My Monk has one still. And FYI, although it's called a "Longbow", like every other Pre-Sear weapon its name is wrong. It's a Halfmoon.

One and Two · Oct 18, 2005, 06:18 AM // 06:18

WHY are the presearing weapon names all messed up?

The most common is obviously Long Sword aka fake crystalline....

I'm kinda lost here.
Why would anyone want to pay 200k for that?
Please explain.

I believe MCS (when he used to be here...) called it Super Newb Syndrome.

People believe because they are a ranger, they need a bow. Little do they realize a staff and an offhand will get much more energy for trapping and whatnot.

I do say trapping, because there is no way you would use a +5 energy 1-2 damage bow for saving energy on skills...

Precisely what I was thinking.
There's a collector who offers a +5 energy wand for charr carvings.
And as for off-hands, I doubt I need to go into that.

Maybe there's some other reason for this?

Valerius · Oct 18, 2005, 06:32 AM // 06:32

the bow can be used for interupting and spreading DoT's... where u don't care about the dmg and need a bow to do it

huh · Oct 18, 2005, 06:39 AM // 06:39

Ahh ok got it.

Hunters quest... Yeah, that's possible. I did that just before going into post-searing.

200K? So the crappy bow I only use to pull with is actually my most expensive weapon? LOL!

Longbow vs half-moon: yeah, I've noticed it looks different.

Savio · Oct 18, 2005, 06:48 AM // 06:48

Yeah, I think it only acts like a Halfmoon also in terms of refire and range. Dunno who wants to pay 200k for this though.
