This is a thread derived from pure curiousity =P
i was wondering what everyone's favorite class of bow was and why that is so.
My personal favorite is the Composite bow, seeing that it is a little of everything, the most balanced bow out of all classes.

What kind of bow are Ascalon bows considered?
rei
less arch = better?
Eclair
A lot of people have said they are longbows, but go ahead and test for the sake of science =)
It really depends, higher arch allows you to shoot over walls and etc, but makes you miss more when enemies are moving.

Best is probably a set of bows; one for short range (fast), other for long range (slow). In combat just switch between the two depending on distance. You'll usually use short range most of the time, though.

Flat bows are probobly best with read the winds or fav wind, second comes short for it's speed. altleast, imo ;p

dunno, usually always have a nice shortbow and a nice longbow, and use appropriatly

Ascalon is the same as flatbow, I've tested this. As far as horn/ivory go I don't know if that info is accurate but I think they're the same as dead bow.

The longbow does NOT have a high-arc trajectory. Anyone who thinks it does needs to fire one alongside a flatbow - now that is a high-arc trajectory.
30PSI
lol Lash I couldn't have said it better. I really hate how high flabow/ascalon shoots, I mean jesus you could really see the arrow goes way up in the sky before it comes down, not that it isn't easy to dodge.
PS most of these infos we found are not quite accurate.

Flatbows make me feel like I'm toting a trebuchet around LOL... like I have to get bearings and windage like firing a mortar - where's my spotter?

i hate the ascalon bow. the arch is too high and enemies easily avoid it. it's only good for shooting over walls and etc and when the enemy is in stance. short bows are my favorite. fast refire rate and flight time and usually hits targets, even if it is moving. but at the expense of shorter range but i will always take fast over slow. and it is great at close combat unlike the other bows. halfmoon is my second favorite and composite is third.

i toat a Longbow, and a Shorbow around.. Longbow for pulling, shortbow for killing..
I will usually run around with my shortbow out, sense more and more mobs are coming out of the ground inside the shortbow range.
to answer the question above.. the max dmg of a bow is 15 - 28..
My shortbow is 15 - 28, 15% bonus while health is above 50%, with +1 marksmanship (13% chance)

Personally I keep a collection of bows for different jobs. I Use a 15-28 Zealous Short Bow of Fortitude for close range Barrages. A 15-28 Poisoners Long Bow of Fortitude for sniping mages/necros. Those are the 2 I use most often. What bow do you use?

I like my 15-28 longbow. Fire damage, +12% damage when enchanted, and +20 HP. Combined with Conjure Flame, it works out real nice.

so what would you sell (or buy) a ivory bow 14-27 for then?
first time I had seen one and I guess it was pretty close to max..
I sold it as you only get 4 characters and my only ranger is a warr/rang
(no way I'll have the marksmanship to use it properly)
had no mods or rarity.. ty

I use a storm bow, it has the specs of a long bow and nice critical %. In conjunction with tiger's fury it has rather good firing speed and accuracy. Oh and quick shot.
