Best Looking Bow???
FCtSteveO
Ok well I am looking for a bow and dont really know much about bow skins, so I would like to know what your guys's favorite bow skin are. I realize people will have diffrent opinions but I would like to see which skins are the most popular and then decide which is best looking to me.

Gotta be the horn bow, here. Just looks badass, without the irritatingness of the "cooler" ones.
AncientPC
Feathered long bow. 
Sol_Vie
Yeah, Mursaat Horn bow or Storm Bow I think look the best.
Song Rui
I like Half-Moons.

Feathered Longbows and Shadow bows > * > Storm Bows
AznPhate
has to be them sexy storm bows....

dead bows FTW!

Storm and eternal bows are too common, it's like the chaos axe + eternal shield combo. I prefer some of the simpler skins over the super fancy ones. Feathered longbow and half moons are probably my favorites.

Remember that all bows have different performance, so if it looks good such as a horn bow, it wont exactly perform that well. Link to bows performances:

My self I would love a shadow bow, but their performance sux0rz.

Id' have to agree with capitalist, Ivory Bow is really nice looking. Shame about how it performs.. On the other hand Half moon.. Great looking little bow, great performance.

Stormbows have the best eye-candy effect, and their ease to get + good looks only contributes to their popularity.
fakedud
i thought ivory/horn/shadow + similar bows did extra dmg to make up for its performance

So far looks like halfmoons or anything in that catagorey is the most popular pick, myself I like the skin of the flesh horn but I dont think I would want it for myself. Keep your comments comming 
. ( To tired to count but looks like semi even spread of the liking of bows)
Silverfang
feathered long bow is my faaaaaaav, mursaat skinned horned is also nice, bringing up the rear... eternal/storm bows, but those are cliched, every ranger and non ranger has to have one

hmm i like ivory and storm the best, but whats up with the performance? Longer bows shoot farther and slower and shorter bows shoot faster and not as big a range right? Are there only like 2 ranges or does every bow vary differently?

Pff, you're all crazy. Short bow is teh uber sexy...
Half Moons are okay (I have one too), but I grow tired of looking at them, and it seems every ranger has one nowadays. I also like the "Mursaat" Hornbow, dyed silver or black. It's purdy.
My ranger atm has these:
15>50 Shortbow req. 9 (my fave)
14>50 Half Moon req. 8
14>50 Mursaat Hornbow req. 8
15>50 Feathered Longbow req. 9
All customized...
I found the Half Moon, and got the Mursaat for 80K from this guy and they all perform exactly the same (14-15% virtually identical, even 12%+ all basically the same). I'm going to probably collect 14/15's of all bows sometime in the near future...just for kicks mainly.
And about the Hornbow performance - one would be crazy not to use IAS with these. That makes up for them having the slowest refire. They do have innate 10% AP and have their uses, trust me.
The thing about being a ranger is you can't limit yourself to just one bow...

I personally prefer the "Flesh" or "Claw" Horned Bow... It looks cool without looking stupid... That however is JUST MY OPINION!

Performance-wise in PvE, The Flatbow is probably the best choice seeing as depending on how far you are from a target you can overcome it's biggest drawback (flight time). Unfortunately, outside of Drago's Flat Bow, they all look horrible.
I personally like to stay away from the ethereal weapons because I find they're a little gaudy and garish for my tastes. I like Feathered Long Bows because they dye well to match your armor, which is a plus.

i will have to say feathered longbow and half moon are my favorites. they not only look good, but they also perform well. also, i'm starting to take a liking to the recurve bow. it's the one with the extra metallic attachments that look like they were added to strengthen the bow.

- Feathered Longbow
- Dead Bow
- Flesh Horn or Mursaat Horn

Bleh, Dead Bows are hideous...
And Flatbows are teh suck unless you have FW up, then they are good. But I myself would probably never use one.

Well, if you use a Flatbow at Short Bow range you'll find that the horrible arc is really quite negligible:P But yes, FV/RTW helps a hell of a lot. All things considered, I'd have to cast my vote for the Flatbow being the most versatile if you were only going to use -one- bow.

Shadow bows with decent mods work good too, kinda on the ugly side but still decent. Thats my opinion though.
Valerius
lies!
there are only two "good looking" 0.5 flight time bows... being Dead Bows and Eternal Bows... i'd take either one tbh... but i think Dead Bows look kooler

I want the best preformance wise for PvP and a diffrent one for pve but Ill probaly be running most of the time in pve so Ill probaly use something else in running. I know each bow has its good parts and its bad parts but I prefer speed and range which there is none of unless you use skills, unless I am wrong.?
dreamex2
Flatbow is fast and long, too bad the flight time blows without a buff like FW/RTW. Use a Short(vamp) and a Long(sundering) in PvP and the same in PvE.

Half Moons FTW!!!
