32 warbird: Green/black ice Longsword or Green/Black Ice Bow?

[Caiahar]

Another question....I know in chickenrunnn's pvp guide, it says I should use a longsword for 32 warbird, but is that necessary? You can't kite, or anything.

32 iceberg birds used to be pretty fun but are a bit squishy now. Now, just level to 35 and use a forgotten bow. It's very hard to use str birds around the 35 pvp area now.

Birds are decent if you rush.
If your doing 1 v 1..
Basically your screwed.

But seriously, should I use longsword or crossbow?

My 28 might go 32 as well.

Xbow < talon < longsword < fbow < pumpkin chunker

Xbow < talon < longsword < fbow < pumpkin chunker

You hit it on the nail, except Chunker<Fbow can be better depending on what you're up against.

I personally LOVE my 35 green ice longsword bird. It's great for rushing, because of the high nuke damage the longsword gives.

Don't even know if this link works, but this was a great (and very famous, PDC ;))build for the longsword if that's what you choose to use. Pre-GCD, this build was very effective when rushing or nuking because the build doesn't use shattering scream. It trades the cruel blast combo for a quicker damage output.

On the second page, there is a L35 build that works great with an fb or chunker.
