Default +5 energy bow ? what is equivalent to a composite bow?
sup all
just crossed my ranger over to Factions recently and i have two questions.

1 ) where can i find a plus +5 energy bow? from a weaponsmith or collector?

i have a warrior and monk that have completed factions and i thought i looked all over but can't seem to find a weaponsmith selling one.

2 ) what bow in factions is equal to the composite bow ?

the composite bow is one of favorite bows, next to the flat, i just wanted to know if there was a new skin in factions that shoots like a composite.

thx in advance

the only place your able to obtain a +5 Energy bow is from a collector named Shichiroji in Divine Path after beating Shiro : http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Shichiroji

you might be interested in this new green bow : http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Rotwing_Recurve_Bow -- perfect for Crip Shot Rangers

the Bramble Recurve Bow and the Plagueborn Bow are both Composite-type bows

EDIT -- also... here are the Canthan Green Recurve Bows... :

i happen to agree with draygo, it is far more important to extend the crippling rather than the poison (when crip shotting). nice bow nontheless.

Any Recurve Bow=Composite Bow, so look for something that says its Recurve, since most bows in Cantha seem to come in a variety of styles per skin, i.e. Plagueborn Recurve Bow/Plagueborn Shortbow.

+5 Energy Bows can be crafted after you beat Factions.

10K plus materials

Lucky me I got a +5 Celestrial Longbow from a guildie who traded it to me for a Rit Staff.

Did I mention it was Max Dmg and Req 8?

How is the Rotwing Recurve bow perfect for Cripshot? It's more important to extend the cripple duration rather than the poison duration. Rotwing offers 33% increase in the length of poison, not cripple.

The perfect bow(s) for cripshot are Brrrne's Recurve or Nandet's Recurve IMO...

extending the crippling is more improtant...

regardless...+5 energy recurves ARE perfect for spirit spamming in hoh.

and please don't use flatbows. I can't get over how bad they are.

also, composite=recurve.

Zodiac bows are longbow skin. Better than using a flatbow but should only be used for NPC ganked and not for actual Cripshotting, in which case you should change the prefix to something else.

1) Been explained in previous posts. (Atleast I think it has. I am too exhausted to read right now, and I cant understand how the thread seems to be alternating between an arguement over which mod Cripshotters find best to use and actual thread related information.)

2) http://www.guildwarsguru.com/content...ies-id1092.php
