Can someone give me the missile properties (Flight time, Refire, Range) of these bows? I can't seem to find info on them anywhere...

I wouldn't mind seeing a picture of the Storm Bow.

THe Shadow bow reminds me of an ivory one only like black and cool looking.

Ascalon bows are the same as flatbows, Shadow Bow is the same as long bow. I havent used the eternal or chaos bows though I have no luck in the fissure, never get a chance to go there anyway :P I have to say the storm bow reminds me of a shortbow though, the shape anyway.

I heard the fire rate for shadow bows are terrible. So I guess you should avoid them?

Ascalon bows aren't always the same as Flatbows- they come in different flavours, like short, composite..

RoF isn't everything. It depends on what kind of ranger you wish to play.

If you want an interrupter, slower RoF, faster arrow works well. Since you want to make sure your distracting shot reaches target on time.

There's also range. Slower RoF also means greater ranger. Very useful when you want to kite enemies. Using pin down and etc.

So no, even slow RoF has its advantages. In this game, almost everything is equally well balanced.

Of course if all you want is to pump as much dmg as possible per second, then choose a different bow.

You ever have to clean up after a Moa bird?

I have a shadow bow. Although the fire rate is slower than my old shortbow, I wouldn't call it "terrible".

I have no hard figures, though.
