I just noticed 3 new bow upgrades when making a new PvP ranger.

The upgrades are:
Barbed Bow String
Crippling Bow String
Silencing Bow String

The barbed will probably lengthen bleeding duration, and the crippling will probably lengthen crippled duration..

But what will the Silencing Bow String do?

If that is the case, the new skill Broad Head Arrow used with that string could be pretty devastating to a caster.

Broad Head Arrow is the skill I've been looking forward to most in the Ranger line up!

It's about time, for the barbed and crippling anyway.

Silencing, i remember hearing that it was in the beta of gw but got removed (probably too powerful) as for the broad head arrow thing... whats that?

I believe back in Beta dazed was silence and Concussion Shot was Tongue Biter. As in, there wasn't a condition called silence in addition to the one we now have (which is dazed).

Broad Head Arrows is a Factions skill. I can't remember it exactly off the top of my head, but if memory serves it was an elite preparation that makes all of your arrows inflict dazed on your targets.

ya silenced is back from the betas, i think the skill was a hammer or melee skill called jaw crack that made target silenced.
but ill bet the grip lengthens dazed, man, broadhead arrows.....fun....

Hell I'd settle for a string that lengthened the duration of Choking Gas.

Hmmm now for some reason I can see Crippling Shot Rangers becoming alot more popular.
