Best no req longbow (for pulling)

What is the best no req longbow and where/how do I get it? I'm sure it would be from pre-searing.

Duing my search, someone mentioned a longbow that actually works like a halfmoon eg. fire rate, arch, etc. If that's true, I'd like to avoid that one lol

P.S. I know this has been posted before, so I apologize, but I searched for about 10 minutes before I posted.

THX

You don't need anything special on a longbow if all you're doing is pulling. You don't even need to do any damage, so it doesn't matter if it's no req or not. After you pull you just switch back to your normal weapon so just anything that's called a longbow would be all you need. If you're really set on getting a no req, run around Pre-searing ascalon or shing jea island killing things and see how much dmg you can get on a no req bow.

If you need to pull, doesn't hurt to get a maxed damage longbow either. You would just need a longbow.

Thx moses and phoenix. I don't want to seem ungracious and I know you're trying to be helpful, but I really do want to get the best no-req longbow.

Maybe someone can remember the original post. It listed many different pre-searing bows and where/how they could be acquired.

EDIT: Oh yeah I am already using a misc. plain longbow and it does fine for pulling. I just wanted to get the best longbow for a non ranger. Call it a personality quirk lol.

Well, you're not looking for a green since you want a no-req weapon. Then my next conclusion has to be that since any monster can drop any "standard" weapon (to my knowledge... note, not refering to skins here) that you just farm/search around for a bow until you get what you like.

I have yet to hear of a "certain" non-req bow that drops in a "certain" place. So that's the best I can offer.

Just look for something with high damage, no req, longbow, and then whatever base mod strikes your fancy (probably will be 11^50, best I've personally seen.)

I think 10-14 is max dmg for no Req bow

A friend of mine (you know how these things go) said he knew someone that had a gold 10-14, +15%^50%, but I've never seen a gold no req item.

I use a 8-11, 12^50 purple no req longbow

It really doesnt matter if the bow has a req or not.

You might consider a flatbow rather than a longbow due to the longer flight time. Their range is the same, but the flatbow has a higher arc and longer flight time. This will help you lob arrows over certain obstacles and give you an extra 1/4 second to turn and run.

Uhm... you just need any old bow for pulling, I mean your use of it isnt to do damage RIGHT? So why do you want high damage on it?

The best I can recall is a 7-10dam, no req, 15^50, +10hp longbow of fortitude you get in pre-searing from a quest.

My rit found a 8-12 purple flatbow. I think it was evern 13^50. No req, same range as a longbow.

But if you're pulling... there's no need to deal damage...

Thx all. I realize it doesn't matter what kind of longbow you use if it's only for pulling. Maybe I shouldn't worry about getting the best one. lol

But really I do want the best one. I'll either get the one Mournblade mentioned or the best no-req flatbow I can find.

Surely you guys can understand me wanting the best one----right? I mean if it's easily obtainable, why not use it? Basically, I didn't want to do every pre-searing quest in search of the best longbow. I think Mournblade mentioned the one I wanted.

The most damage a bow can do without a requirement is: 9-13. That 7-10 15^50% bow deals 8.05-11.5(not sure how amage is rounded). Do get a flatbow, as they share the fastest refire with shortbows, and the high arc is good for clearing obstacles, giving you extra time to pull. The best place to find these is from the Charr in Ascalon, they're not too uncommon. If you must, you could go to the North Wall in Pre-Sear, but Nolani and Diessa Lowlands are better.

And, yes, if you are wondering, I do have these on all my characters(besides the Ranger, obviously)for the same reason as the OP, just to have the best. I have never found more than an 11% modifier, but then I never tried all that hard.

Getting headache reading this..........

candy cane bows aren't longbows or flatbows, so they aren't ideal for pulling.

I have a Max Dmg Storm Bow that works great for pulling when im soloing.

The following rule of thumb applies to all weapon types, not just bows or longbows: The best dmg you can get without req is 1/2 of the max damage. So for a bow it's 28/2 = 14.

Not a longbow = bad for pulling
