Storm Bow or Eternal Bow? - Guild Wars Forums

Blind · Jun 04, 2005, 04:23 AM // 04:23

Welll, now that I have the money, I'm thinking of getting one of these soon. The problem is, I don't know which one is better. I heard someone in LA say storm bows are very fast, but I have never had either. What are the range/speed and other specs of the bows, and which one do you prefer?

Pictures of the bow are welcomed also.

Thank you!

I dunno... But storm bows look a hell of a lot cooler, in my oppinion.

Actually... the last time I use storm bow... it had the ability of a longbow or the sort... its firing rate is pretty sad...

If I remember right, someone told me all those bow are actually pretty bad... by that I mean the shadow/eternal/storm... I hope there was a change to them recently...

People just get these bows mainly because of the looks. Just like how people spend 3k on a firey dragon sword or a fellblade. and the same thing with the chaos axes.

So it seems halfmoons/shortbows are actually the fastest then.

i have an assortment of bows including one of each of those but they arent as good as some other bows. Its all for the looks more than anything.

Well i've got a max damage storm bow; I know for a fact that eternal bows have less range and mediocore rate of fire. My storm bow has great critical though, and storm bows have the longest range in guild wars, so they would of course have slow firing rate. They do have the same specs of long bows, which are pretty accurate versus moving foes (compared to a flat bow) and don't have that annoying arch you'll find in some long range bows.
