Candy Cane Bow = longbow now?

CC Bow was commonly known as shortbow but today I was checking my storage and noticed this:



I went to test and CC Bow now has longbow range but (I think) slower refire rate with faster arrow.. I dont know if this is new info, but anyone else noticed this change? Since when?

Of everything A-Net could've possibly done...
... they... went and... did... THIS?!?!?

OMG! A-Net! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you!
Now the CC bow has a use as well as being the most awesome skin EVAR

...CRAP I've been using the CC bow to pull for ages...

now this is a good find, thank goodness i still have my candy cane bow in storage. for now i will use this on my ranger.

The same thing happened to the Wintergreen one.

JOY!

so all the specialized holiday bows became longbows?

Yes. And that's a good thing Wilkon. That's why everybody is so happy, because longbows (or flatbows depending on preference) is the best pulling bow out there.

Another question: since when Dead Bows are recurve bows?

I thought they were longbows? hmm.. Or maybe am I wrong?
