Why don't they exist? Daggers get Furious and Scythes get Furious and neither of them use adren skills on the primary profession. So why shouldn't Bows get it.

Please come up with a better counter arguement than some rant about Barrage if you do have 1 that is.

Anyone else think its about time Rangers got a Furious mod too?

All martial weapons except bows can get a Furious upgrade.

Therefore bows should have a furious bowstring available.

Because Furious mod is trash like sundering.

just curious, why would you want a furious mod on a bow? Bow attacks don't use adrenaline so just wondering what skills you are wanting the mod for?

Hmm, barrage plus Watch yourself comes to mind. Or some other adrenaline skill.

Don't forget Paragons have adrenaline skills too...

Barrage + "Go for the Eyes!" and/or Natural Temper for more adrenaline gain.(33% more)

GfTE is Command, but still 30% more crits :]

in distance adrenal gain warriors use wands and spears not sure if bows distance would hurt or help machanics. I would ask perspective from those doing pvp.

Furious is indeed trash. But i can think of alot more reasons that a ranger would need Furious than an Assassin or Dervish.

By alot i mean 2... but thats still 2 more reasons than an Assassin or Dervish has for it.

What would someone using a bow to gain adren matter? Its barely any different to a spear.

Its my take that until Nightfall they wanted adrenaline to be a melee thing so bows and wands got left off. So since they made Paragons and gave them adrenaline I see no reason not to let bows be furious now.

Maybe its just because a bow is more of a simple machine so you don't have to swing it harder/throw it harder to hit harder, you just pull back and release.

ferocious strike gives adrenaline, so obviosuly anet have thought that rangers need adrenaline at some time or other

really im not a ranger but i say why not... to keep it balenced... really i have seen some r/w and w/r non- iway and non-bunny thumpers..... im sure they would use it.

because the skills that require high enough adrenaline and the high cost adrenaline skills are not linked to bows or shouts. any shout like watch yourself or whatnot doesnt have a high adrenaline cost to warrant a furious mod for a bow. so there is no need for a furious bowstring.

and no warriors wouldnt use a bow since with a wand, they can still use their shield incase they are wanding on an archer to build adrenaline while the other team is turtling

It would be good for the other half of the game.

I guess it because swords/hammers/axe dont get daze mods

there's a furious tang for the dagger, and if I'm blind, I've never seen any adrenal skills for the assassins

The only quick adrenal skills to get are obviously barrage, and quick shot. But 10% is a wee bit low for double adrenaline. I personally think it should be 15%....
