Well sorry but in fire rating terms long and recurve have the same attack interval , thats why i told him to go with a short bow. Recurve has the shortest arrow flight time and the lowest arc size , therefore is hell better for interrupting but thats not this build function.

For the missing skill , seeing you stack "buffs" per shot , i would pack triple shot and or double shot if you can ..... be careful with spamming because you cant use zealous with that conjure.

My mistake there. I guess because the arc longbow feels slower than recurve. Anyway doesn't take my point away that recurve is still better in general than longbow unless you are trying to shoot someone who is far away. Shortbow is also great, but I prefer a bit longer range and better chance to interrupt.

Topic says PvP so triple shot is out of question there. About dual shot, point blank and zojun's shot does about same damage with faster recharge and lower energy cost so stick with it. Also dual shot loses its power when you get stripped or interrupted while putting prep up.

Seeing as how this is supposed to be a PvP build (unless its strayed from the topic and changed to something more appropriate for this section in the forum), if your default bow isn't going to be a recurve without an arc buff (RtW/FW), you're pretty much going to be wasting dshot.

Ok now im RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing confused. Im getting a fiery 15^50 longbow of fortitude and a 40/40 set. You say i should also get a fiery 15^50 recurve bow of fort too?

Btw - is there a reason why you aren't using PvP-only guys to PvP with?
If you have one slot open - then just make a PvP guy, make a few bows and then switch them in battle as you see fit.

To PvP you need lots of equipment to be effective. That is why it is adviced to use PvP characters. Your equipment is also effective only for conjure builds so if you want to play different builds you need again different equipment.

cool, what would be some decent options?

Tenebrae · Dec 06, 2009, 09:36 PM // 21:36

1-Asuran Scan
2-Dual Shot
3-Triple Shot
4-Needling shot/Forked arrow
5-Glass Arrows
6-Drunken Master
7-Opt
8-Opt

If you use Candies , can take Drunken Out for Ebsoh. For the opt 1 can use Keen Arrow/Focused Shot ( the other skills will be recharging anyway ) and for opt 2 ... some support like antidote signet ? bleh dunno.
