I have a ranger/necro looking for info on which bow to use.

I found a website with info on bow speed and range, but some bows aren't on the list such as an Ascalon or hornbow.

My current bows are a Shortbow, Longbow, and an Ascalon. I know the Shortbow is quick but has short range and the longbow is the opposite, but how does the Ascalon compare?? and what is everyone's personal choice of bow??

Number 1: This question isn't build related, so doesn't belong in this forum.

Number 2: Ascalons, from my experience, appears to mimic flatbows in mechanics, with long range, fast refire, high arc.

Different bows are good for different situations, there are some topics in the strategy forum you might read.
Cheers.

If you just got out of newbie land...don't worry too much about which bow to pick. Just grab one with high dmg and nice mod.

As for Ascalon bow...you can get one from a high-end collector later on in the game which gives you +15%dmg when enchanted....which is pretty decent imo.
