im curious if anyone has yet done any comparisons of the new factions bow types, versus the prophecies bow types ?

in terms of re-fire, time-to-target, and arc size to see where they fit into the matrix ?

ive not yet found any of the new bows to do this so i thought id see if anyone else had

Thanks in advance

I don't think there is any new type, just new skins.

Yeah: is a Platinum bow a skin that can have any performance? Or are they all, say, longbows?

There is a "Platinum Longbow" and a "Platinum Flatbow" that I've seen so far. I meant to test "Jade Bows" cause I don't remember them specifing what they are. But I think most of the new skins specify what bow type they are.

AFAIK, there are no new bow types. Only new skins.

Could anyone point me to the comparison of existing bow types? I'd like to know what the differences are. Thanks.
(I tried searching a bit and digging through the community works forum and the ranger basics sticky, but couldn't find anything.)

I like the fact that alot of the new skin's I've seen come in multiple bow types.... Although all I really see are flat or long bows....

yeah I thought this too for a sec (ie where does plagueborne go) but then you notice they're all plagueborne longbow, plagueborne shortbow etc (and sometimes even move on to other lines like axe, sword and maul too) - which has the opposite treatment of armor (gladiator canthan armor).
