Amazing selection of bows, I am more interested in the PvP selection then otherwise.

ONe question, what is the advantage of a armour -10 bow?

Zerg · Mar 05, 2006, 10:18 PM // 22:18

its +15% damage all the time.

Leonof · Mar 06, 2006, 02:47 AM // 02:47

nice bows man, I want all your golds

My bow collection is still under construction, or perhaps refinement is a better word.

Flatbows:

Drago's Flat Bow
+15% ^50
Sundering 10/10
Fortitude +30

Drago's Vampiric Flatbow
+15% ^50
Vamp 5:1
Armor +5

Shortbows:

Boulderbeard's Short Bow
+15% ^50
Lightning Dmg
Health +30

Graygore's Short Bow
+15 ^50
Vamp 5:1
Marks +1 20%

Graygore's Zealous Short Bow
+15% ^50
Zealous
Armor +5

Ascalon Bow of Defense
+15% ^50
Armor +4

Longbow:

Poisonous Longbow of Defense
+11% ^50
Armor +4

Recurve:

Composite Bow of Fortitude
+14% ^50
Health +28

Hornbow:

Sundering Ivory Bow of Marks
+15% ^50
Sundering 10/10
Marks +1 12%

Special:

Candy Cane Bow
(can't forget that one!)

I've still got some work to do for my bows, but I've got a good start. I'd like to get a Hornbow with a Vamp mod on it, and I'm torn between adding a Vamp mod to the Ivory I've got or getting another Hornbow. Then, of course, I've got to fix the grip on that Ivory I've got. I've also got to figure out where I want to sneak in an Icy bow string (for use with Spinal Shivers builds), if it should go on my Shortbow, my Composite Bow, or if I should fish up another Shortbow to put it on.

I know most people consider their Candy Cane bow to be a trophy item, and I've gotten really ripped into for using mine in PvP before, but it's a wonderful option to allow your touch ranger to still make use of Distracting Shot.

"Stupid ranger! Use a real bow!"
"...why? So it can do starter damage?"

O_o another Ranger collector

may i ask what kinda skin ur Hornbow 15>50% req 8 has Forge?

XxForgexX · Mar 07, 2006, 02:20 AM // 02:20

the pvp dragon skin. i could've gotten an Ivory Bow with the same stats and saved ~20k, but i decided to treat myself

Quaker · Mar 07, 2006, 04:21 PM // 16:21

I mostly use my B/P ranger build these days. My main bow is Drago's Flatbow. I also carry a 10/10 Sundering Short Bow of Fortitude (+15%h^50, health+26) and Drago's Vampiric Flatbow and an Icy Storm Bow (from UW, for show

)

I also have, but don't generally equip:

Elswyth's Recurve Bow
an Eternal Bow (clean/white/max to be upgraded when I get a better drop in the Tombs

)
Forgerunner
Icy Shadow Bow of Fortitude (max, +14%h^50, hlth+20 - dropped in FoW)
Ebon Longbow of Warding (max, +13%h^50, armor+5(ele))
Candy Cane Bow
Gargash's Recurve Bow
Stinger
Thornbeard's Horned Bow

I had several Ascalon Bows (flatbow type), but I must have salvaged them to make room.

The Lich Ranger · Mar 07, 2006, 04:27 PM // 16:27

I got an ascalon bow, its really good

Anarki · Mar 07, 2006, 04:31 PM // 16:31

I use Dead Bow, it's the only bow skin that looks nice together with 15k drake scale dyed black.
I switch between icy and fiery mods in PvE.

Macktar Wang · Mar 07, 2006, 04:34 PM // 16:34

My ranger rotates between 3 bows, mainly.
1. Poisonous Ascalon Bow (collector longbow) of Fortitude (+29) - customized
2. Sundering (10/9) Ascalon Bow (collector shortbow) of Fortitude (+29) - customized
3. Zealous Composite Bow of Fortitude (+29) - 14%^50, req 8

I also have a Vampiric (4/-1) Ascalon (collector shortbow) in my pack and a max Holy Staff for trapper runs. I mainly use #3 though, until I make my own composite bow from the collector.

Age · Mar 08, 2006, 05:59 AM // 05:59

I use a sundering long bow of fortitude and a fiery recurve bow of fortitude.I don't have all the stats on me.I am looking forward to getting some green ones some time.

front243 · Mar 08, 2006, 09:01 AM // 09:01

Elswyth's Recurve Bow
Fiery Longbow of Fortitude (15>50, 30HP)

And I am looking for a nice Flatbow which will be modded with Fortitude and Vampiric. (Got the mods already, have been looking for the bow all day
