Good bow for ranger
BrutalBossman
i am wondering what a good bow would be for a ranger i am looking for one that looks cool like a storm bow could some people show me some pics
BrutalBossman
also i am a ranger elementalist and i am wodering what element i should focus on( any opinion is greatly appreciated)
MSecorsky
Actually, any bow is good for a ranger depending on the stats and your skillset.

Brutal I focused on Air because the e-costs arent generally all that high, I brought lightning strike and chain lightning, get druids armour for the extra energy
BrutalBossman
Thx, and if anyone has any pics of good bows maybe that i could find or get from a trader. I havent really gone that far i am level 11 but thxs i will try air magic.

Actually I decided later on to Switch to R/Mo b/c I could have a ressurection skill and I went smiting
BrutalBossman
yeh i might make a new ranger and go ranger monk so i can solo a little better but again i need some pics of good bows. Plus i found if i make a new ranger monk in pre i can level up and find tons of dyes then go to post and sell all the dyes and buy some good armor
Swarnt Brightstar
Solo-ing is a big no-no for R/Mo's, dont attempt it (btw if you do tell me your build) I tried it, doesnt work, go smiting then you can get more damage out to help your team.
BrutalBossman
yeh good idea but i mean thats all u do in pre is solo. i recently just made a new character and while i wwas with someone 4 dyes were droped in 20 min. 2 blues 1 silver and one purple. u could make a killing with those coming in too post.
BrutalBossman
Anyone who would like to help me out by posting pics of bows i would greatly appreciate it
Swarnt Brightstar
Yup, but in post dont solo 
kinda worthless if you ask me, too hard.

I made the mistake of buying a shadow bow for a paat-time ranger, they look like a black stick.
Swarnt Brightstar
LOL, yah, dont do that again

Ascalon short bow- collector-mineral springs, mod it yourself, cheap and good.
BrutalBossman
anyone got pictures, i am thinking of a storm bow cause they look cool.

hehe this thread wins most sidetracked one ever. almost seems like it's on purpose.
Elena
seeing as ure a ranger u'd either want a longbow/flatbow for range and shortbow
or halfmoon or any other short range bow for that matter... make sure you always have 1 for short and close combat and ure pretty good one the way to a good ranger ^^

Brutal, you'll find a decent half-moon when you hit the desert most likely, maybe even a rare. For your distance bow, unless you find a nice one, the collector outside Port Sledge (when you get there) has a nice looking Ascalon Bow which you could mod with any decent upgrades to be the last bow you ever need.
VGJustice
Yeah, definetly pick up a shortbow in case the monsters get too close. Shortbows have low range, but they shoot a lot faster
Puddin Tame
Here are my bows, the trick is to either go for collecters, or if buying the gold max things, don't get 15% or 14% mods, they are insanely expensive. 13% while health is above 50% is a significant price drop. The ascalon bow in pic is the mineral springs shortbow. I'm going to get another one some time and shove a zealous string on it.
Edge Martinez
You're the man Puddin for customizing those bows for yourself. Alot of folks wouldn't do that.
VGJustice
Many wouldn't, but would. I customized a Shortbow I got from a lucky Lornar's Pass drop. Zombies, beware! (15-28 Earth damage, +10% vs. Undead. I know it's not the best, but it *is* just a backup weapon)
wonderworm
I got 3 of those collector ascalon bows : short bow, long bow and composite bow version. They're basically all i ever need (with the right mods). One for fastest shooting (short), one for quickest time of flight (composite) and one for longest range (long).
The composite bow is nice for pinning down runners in pvp or if you're using oath shot since you don't want that oath shot misses, do you ?
Might be a good idea to color them since they all look the same
On the comment on customizing : what's the point in having a bow with +1x% if you don't customize it ?
