To all Barrage/Conjure Rangers:
1 pages • Page 1
imo Hornbows are best for Barrage... as it doesn't matter how freakin' slow the bow is cause' all that matters is the recharge of Barrage {E}... so either a Hornbow, Shadowbow or Ivorybow will be the best choice
i usually go with a Zealous string for JI... but if u insist on going Conjure then either a Fiery (for Shiverpeaks) or Icy (for Fire Island) string will work great... i recommend an Enchanting Grip 20% tho

My ranger is in drakscale armor so I had to use a dragon skin horbow to go with it, and i is fiery with a 20% enchant mod on it.
I pretty much always go with this bow as it works best for shiverpeaks, and if I am in the fire islands I am taking winter anyway.
I also have an Icy Dead bow to use on ocassion.
I agree with valerius that a horn bow is best because it matches the recharge with barrage

Short bows/Flat bows don't work well with barrage. You have to break the attack animation and that leads to longer time between barrages. Long/Composite/Horn bow's are the best. I'd use a long bow for the range, but Horn Bow's definately pack the biggest punch (and it actually gives you something to use them for.)
My personal favorite is Barrage with Tiger's Fury and a collector's Ascalon (short) bow from the desert (+15% over 50 ). I customize it for +20% damage, add on a fiery or poisoner's string.
With Tiger's Fury up, I can shoot a Barrage on every other shot using the short bow, and still make great damage numbers. IMHO.

But i see lightning isn't a popular choice, why not? I use Lightning all the time - collectors horn bow (can't recall which collector though - guildwiki should have it listed). It seems to do real well against most foes. Keep in mind though, if you go with a B/P build in Tombs (popular lately) and an orders necro is there, you'll gain no benefit from the orders as you'll be dealing non-physical damage. So it might pay wise to keep a physical bow for barrage on hand as well.

i generally avoid elemental mods like the plague because it's a hassle to switch things around if you happen to find an enemy with a resistance to your element. vampiric is best for damage, zealous is quite handy...and sundering sucks.
i use a non-elemental short bow or long bow whenever i run barrage. non-elemental damage is the most versatile...i'll take versatility over anything.

Where in my post did I say it was PvP? Ice Imp farming for instance, what would you rather do, Interupt a Malestrom, heal and live to fight on or do +13 damage only for you to be mullered by a wall of ice
You say interupting a skill would be more useful for keeping me alive, but do you really think not interupting 1 skill from a enemy monster in an 8 person team is going to screw me over? I do think Guld Wiki's build calls for distracting shot too
I'd rather do +13 damge, over 6 targets that equals out to +78 dmg since i use barrage
