My favorite is the Platinum Longbow, then storm bow. Haven't even looked at the EotN ones.

Dragon Hornbow wins my vote.

It doesn't get much appreciation. Perhaps this is because it was once a PvP skin. I love it anyway.

Longbow: Zodiac
Recurve: Eternal
Flat: Urgoz Flatbow
Short: Meh...any, I don't use them much.

Bramble bows, Bladed Recurve, The Allmighty Halfmoon, I also like as a previous poster said the simple elegance of the Platinum Longbow...
All that aside 2 of these 3 bows are always on my weapon swaps:
my Icy Eternal, Zealous Zodiac and Vamp Bramble Recurve. I may be in the minority on this but I love shortbows, not all the time mind you but there are times when it's perfect. Those times are a real charge. Hence my 4th bow is either the Poisonous halfmoon or the Silencing Shadow Bow.

If they ever come out with a Zodiac Recurve I may even retire my Eternal Bow though, I love the skin that much.

Found a nice little half moon bow for my up close stuff. Also found a spiked recurve that matches the armor nicely... Was trying to get a Zodiac or a Storm but prices seemed really high this weekend. Still looking... Also found a r9 gold horned bow. Skin is identical to the dragon horn i have. Maybe they forgot the dragon part. And also found purple forked hornbow that looks kinda interesting and matches the armor i have.

blakecraw · Sep 24, 2007, 05:48 AM // 05:48

My all time favorites are:

Half Moon
Dragon Horn Bow
Storm Bow

Tyrian ones are just called Hornbows; it's only in later chapters you see them listed as Dragon Hornbows. As such, bows labeled with the 'Dragon' have inscription slots whereas old-school Hornbows do not.

Longbow: Urgoz Longbow/Storm Bow
Recurve Bow: Silverwing Recurve Bow, Asura Bow, Azure Recurve, and Eternal Bow.
Horn Bow: Dragon Hornbow and Mursaat Hornbow
Flatbow: Drago's Flatbow
Shortbow: Halfmoon, and Tormented Shortbow.

It may be my expensive tastes, but my favorites are the Storm Bow, Urgoz's Longbow, and the Tormented Bow (Shortbow type).
I got my 15^50 storm bow completely by accident from a chest whilst trapping about 1.5 years ago. Didn't realize that it was worth a jot for about 2 months, I was such a noob back then

Of the less expensive skins, I like the Azure (not Asura), Jade, and Amber bows.

Kaida the Heartless · Sep 24, 2007, 10:02 PM // 22:02

Best Bow (appearance): Iron Wing Flatbow.

Oh how I wish they came in recurve.

Dark Paladin X · Sep 24, 2007, 10:09 PM // 22:09

I care not about looks, what I care about are the stats of the bow. For example, I would rather have a recurve bow with increased silenced duration, additional health and energy rather than a storm bow or a bow that looks "leet."

Well, my bows that look "leet" are all r9 golds with perfect stats. So you aren't giving up stats to get good skins... But if you don't care about looks, just get a clean bow from a collector and mod it up. Or even get a green with the stats you want, which can be cheaper than buying the mods.

wetsparks · Sep 24, 2007, 10:46 PM // 22:46

I like the simplicity of this bow. I also like the Forgotton Long bow. I also like to carry this, was my first max damage bow and I just like to keep it around.

Dropped in a chest in the same room as dead boss duncan yesterday.

Ill try to put up some screens using the bows I found... I still want poison zod or storm for pulling.

On a different note how much does the 10% sundering affect actual performance. I will be testing that vamp half moon in the dungeon later for the quicker shot. I was using the els recurve vamp and it worked really nicely. With a little bit of healing I can tank a small (3-6) mob of doggies there in door ways. 4 and or five splinter barrage shots with that bow and they start dropping if there are enough of them and they are surrounding me. My whole screen lights up like christmas. But I have to pick your places. I got to do it a lot this weekend since either the tanks weren't holding aggro or monks/nukers kept getting too close in a lot of runs.

Vamp > Sundering for damage. Also, despite the degen, while you're attacking you're gaining health overall (the figures are in the wiki if you want to check it out). If you aren't fighting, switch weaps. Sundering isn't bad, but it has nothing on vamp if you aren't lazy.

And with the dragon horn, maybe EotN counts as Tyria for the weapon naming... it's the same continent/map.

Marverick · Sep 25, 2007, 12:35 AM // 00:35

Recurve: Silverwing Recurve Bow / Tormented Recurve Bow
Flatbow: Ancient Flatbow
Hornbow: Mursaat Hornbow like everyone else :P
