August 17, 200916 yr So assuming I am not a member, which bow is better? Short bow or longbow? I know that longbow is more powerful, but does it mean i can do more damage?
August 17, 200916 yr So assuming I am not a member, which bow is better? Short bow or longbow? I know that longbow is more powerful, but does it mean i can do more damage? Basically.. always use shortbow. It's faster and nobody uses longbow for a reason. Longbows do not higher damage, but they allow you to shoot from farther away.

August 17, 200916 yr Short bow because it's quite faster and you usually don't have to range other enemies from a quite far distance, so a longbow isn't needed. Plus, longbows are not stronger than a short bow, however if so happen to desperately want to use a long bow, I would recommend a willow composite bow.

August 17, 200916 yr The only time i see use for a longbow is when your at clan wars in FFA. On top of the 2 structures, Ranging each other.
August 17, 200916 yr Long bow used to be used quite a bit in PvP as it had a 100% chance of hitting, 3 specs per bar (if you time it right) and could hit from a big distance away. Then switching to a short when you close in on them.

August 17, 200916 yr short bow and use very cheap arrows then it will bascially transform ur hits into constant stream of damage while using the lowest cost. Black Masks-3 D meds- 3 Granite Mauls- 4 Robin hat- 1
August 18, 200916 yr From what I hear, shortbows have the same accuracy and power as the longbow. Shortbow has a higher firing rate (more dps) Longbow has a higher range. So use longbow only when you're too far away to use shortbow. "The best defence is to stay out of range" - French proverbBad luck happens. Learn and get over it.
August 18, 200916 yr The Short bow is much better, its a lot faster. Longbows shoot further but no other bonus. But if you do want to shoot long range use a comp bow as they have a little more accuracy.
August 18, 200916 yr Shortbow on rapid or composite bow on accurate. I don't really know anyone who uses longbow, except maybe magic for spec attacks. But even that is uncommon. 95/99 Summoning95/99 Slayer [hide=This is what you look like when you play RS too long][/hide]
