short bow vs long bow

[eggzs]

I want to know which bow is better, longbows cost more so people think they are better, but this topic will decide which is better

[xXru1n3dXx]

It dosn't really even need discussion, every body knows shortbows are better due to the speed. If you wanna prove this wrong, dm someone with a shortbow vs your longbow.

That pretty much covers it.

Shortbows are far superior, even with the update a while ago that increased the energy required for a shortbow special attack.

 

 

 

All questions to help and advice.

Throw another vote on the shortbow fire.

 

 

 

I didn't notice much, if any, of a power drop-off. The speed of shortbows is fantastic (especially on rapid). Don't know anyone that's tried both and prefers longbows.

Shortbow!

a shortbow would be better, due to speed.

There are only 2 places i would use a longbow, the wild, i would have shortbow as a main weapon but incase the mage gets out of shortbow range i would switch to that and the other is the ranging minigame with the targets, since speed of your bow doesn't matter it doesn't make sense to have a faster weapon with a lower range bonus, but overall, stick to the shortbow

The longbow is a sniper's weapon, used from cover against a target only just in range, or against a fleeing target. Also useful for "collecting" a target.

 

 

 

Against anything that either cannot hit you, or is already well within range, the shortbow is faster - forget the "longrange" style unless you really want to train defence.
