Tormented Bow help?
I'm trying to decide which type of bow to get. I'm mainly a PvE person with the occasional PvP and I plan on dedicating it so I need to be positive I get the right type. I'm basically split between the longbow and the recurve bow. I don't like flatbows' arc and I usually don't like to bother with a spirit, shortbows are just meh to me, and hornbows are only really useful for spiking, which I generally don't do. So I'm looking for a utility bow in either the recurve or longbow, and I ask you: which do you think would better suit my playing type? And if you're like me, which type did you get?

I generally use a recurve in PvE, PvP has many different uses, but recurves are good for the highest hit percentage or if using incendiary or Rupts. I usually prefer a flatbow to a longbow though.
Moral: Recurve

Recurve for general use.
Personally, I just use longbows to pull... or rarely when using some particular build where the short flight time offered by a recurve wouldn't matter (BHA, for example).
Oh, and the Tormented Longbow looks hideous...

recurve is the most used bow in pvp, although sometimes flatbows are better in some situations.
as for pve you can play with w/e equipt and it wont make a difference.

Recurve because of the smallest flight time.
Flatbow if you're using Read the Wind, but other than that, use the recurve bow.

I'd do a recurve bow, but get a regular longbow for pulling =)

Flatbow >>> Longbow
So choose Recurve.
