best bow
jagg
I was wondering what is the best bow in the game.
dargon
There are different bows for different uses.
Short / Half-moon for close range, quick shots
Longbow for distance / pulling
Horn bow for some armor penetration (believed to be 20%)
etc.
What do you want your character to do and someone here can say the best bow (in their opinion) for the job.

Flatbow, tho a med range bow is the fastest

It all depends on preference. Take some initiative and find out yourself.

I suppose best bows depend on situations...
Long Range setups... [outside aggro bubble, 100']
Enemy is being tanked/not moving? Flatbow
Enemy is charging your team? Longbows and their equivalents
Medium range setups... [aggro bubble edge, 90' approx.]
Good dmg and decent refire rate? Horn bow & their equivalents
Melee range setups [they're fighting you toe to toe...]
Half-Moon & Shortbow. Range is no longer and issue and you want FAST refire.

Forgot to mention,
my Warrior/Ranger <-------
Only carries one bow to pull with. I found a good low req med damage one with a poisoner's sting in it.
My Ranger/Warrior carries three (3) bows, and an axe & shield.
Bow one is a poisoner's long bow of Fortitude.
When I want to reach out and touch someone. With Knidle, frenzy, and twin shot. I can stand way back behind all the players and minions and rain fire down all day long.
Bow two is a max dam flatbow. For when I need to hurry them lil bolts of joy along. A half a second faster diff in GW sure makes a big diff.
Bow three is a Eternal bow, that happens to match my axe and shield. ( A girl has to be well matching all the time)

My Ranger uses a build based roughly around: Tigers Fury(9 secs), Punishing Shot(+17 dmg), Kindle Arrows(+20 Fire dmg) and two other bow attacks, with the 15^50 collectors Ascalon Bow, sometimes switch to my max eternal, and a Fiery Halfmoon.. works excellent because with Tiger's my Longbow is firing as fast(or faster) than regualr Halfmoon, so I get dmg, range, and speed. When they get close, I switch to my Halfmoon, so I'm shooting very, very fast now, with Kindle on all the time 
Worked great for my FoW run a bit ago
